Notes

This pesto lasts up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. I like to store mine in a mason jar.
This is a great recipe to make in bulk at the end of the summer and freeze to have on hand all winter long! I like to place the pesto in ice cube trays until solid and then transfer to an airtight container. You can leave the pesto cubes in the fridge to thaw overnight as needed. Pesto will last in the freezer for up to three months!
