Jerry, this cracks me up when Kim is stopping to end a certain shot… you just followed orders. 😂😂😂
This was soooo mouthwatering! I could smell the basil half a world away!
This is awesome!! You should do more recipes like this!! Thanks Calikim and Jerry! ❤
Kim and CG, kids this is a nice video. As a young boy I spent countless hours shelling pine nuts for the family receipt and now you can buy pine nuts unshelled at the store. I don't say pesto, but I call it Basilico, it's a family tradition.
Kim, I just saw your thumbnail and I am so excited!! I have a HUGE amount of basil I need to process! And now, I will watch!!
Hope you enjoy the video Judy!
@@CaliKim29 OMG did I!!
My bunny LUVES BASIL🐾🐾...I Harvest & let some bloom 4 bees. Also cut & dry out in bloom for Fall Decorating! Bummer I don't care for pesto😥but I do in tomato sauce😁
Oh how cute! Love sharing the garden with our animal friends.
Thank you so much! You guys make the best videos! From harvest to taste test! Thank you so much for all your hard work, tips, and recipe! Looks so delicious - can’t wait to try it! 😋 ❤🌱
Thank you so much for following along and commenting - we really appreciate it! Glad I can help.
Thanks for making and posting this video with the pesto recipe. I will be harvesting my basil to make some!
Awesome! Keep us posted on how it turns out.
The DIY vacuum seal! I do it all the time! :)
Love this video and recipe! I had so much basil this spring and summer I didn't make a single batch of pesto! My bad! Will definitely use your recipe next season!
Yep, lots of it in the freezer and it takes me through next basil season.
absolutely love basil & pesto!
Us too!
I’ve been looking forward to this video 😊. I’m waiting for my basil to get going here in Oz and I’ll be making heaps of pesto. When my daughter was in primary school they had a no nut policy due to kids with allergies, so we used sunflower seeds (inexpensive as well) and I always add some lemon juice to keep the vibrant green colour. Thanks for another beautiful video Kim
What a great alternative! Thanks for watching.
Super cute dress CaliKim! I’ve made a bunch this year since I had such a great basil year, one batch I roasted my homegrown elephant garlic and added that instead! Oh so delicious. Thanks 😊🌿🌿
Thank you so much! It's one of my favorites. That elephant garlic sounds amazing, glad it's been a good year
It looks so yummy 😊 and easy this is a must try thank you ☺️
No problem! If you make it let us know how it turns out
great idea with the ice cube trays!
Thank you!
🌺love pesto, can’t wait to make some
I'm sure it'll be delicious 👍
I’ve got a lot of basil that I should harvest before it goes to seed…another project to put on the list! 🥰
Love it! My project list only ever seems to get longer. 😂
I planted basil last summer and silly me I let it flowering and forgot to harvest before it dried up. It's spring now in my country, it grows all over my space, now I have to deal with it. I am transplanting into pots and giving away to friends and neighbors, it's alot of job I'm telling you. Thanks for showing how to make pesto, it looks good.
It is really is a big job - especially on top of everything else life throws at us. I'm sure your neighbors are grateful though! Thanks for watching.
You are SO RIGHT about the ease efficiency and effectiveness of making pesto (and so much more) with a food processor rather than a high speed blender. As far as I'm concerned the only thing those blenders might be able to do better than a good food processor is make frozen cocktails or smoothies.
I'm in in SC zone 8a and did my big (almost final) Basil harvest a few weeks ago in early October and made batches of pesto I froze without cheese (as they say if you are freezing the Basil, it is better to add the cheese just before you use it after you have defrosted the basic Pesto without the dairy). Although last night , just before a 3 weeks premature freeze warning, I went out and harvested the last bits of leaves. There were also a ton of green tomatoes that were still growing i had to harvest and now am wondering how I can best use.
I was pretty good about dead heading the Basil flower at the top of each plant during the spring and summer and early fall before they bolted too much which extended the amount of time I had bountiful fresh Basil. I wish there was a way to do the same thing with Cilantro.
Hi kim my favorite herbs are mint cinnamon basil and happy herb gardening
We love mint too, especially in mojitos! Good luck to you and your garden Keith.
Great video!! Time for this Wahini to go outside and harvest some basil‼️I love the pine nuts but only have raw cashews raw almonds and pecans which ones would you choose?
I’m thinking pecans. I have everything to make it too. Yay for CaliKim & CaliCameraGuy’s Inspiring video’s. 🤙🏽
I'm going to try this recipe with Thai basil and peanuts! My Thai basil is out of control. Hope it tastes as good as this 😊
Sounds amazing Tessa - I'm sure it will be delicious!
Never thought to add some lemon 🍋 juice to it. Definitely gonna try that next time.
It's so tasty. Enjoy!
Thank you!
Thank you for watching 🥰
Old Rich still watching ya on occasion, the hardcore gardener told ya years ago you'd be good at this on camera thing, better than me.
Hey Rich - great to hear from you - always appreciated your encouragement! So nice of you to stop by - did you get your house rebuilt/garden planted again? Hope you're doing well!
@@CaliKim29 ya, I just live in a small place right now, own another one 2 streets over my folks stay there I have a few plants and a couple trees , same at the other place, there just 1/4 acres each, no huge garden like I used to have. I spend most of my time rebuilding the town and chopping down dead burnt trees, I was kinda semi retired for awhile but I have 30 years experience in such things so after the fire swinging the hammer alot
I really love pesto but I hate making it. After watching your video I see it’s easier to dry the leaves before taking them off the stem, (after washing). I always make pesto with almonds because I usually have them for snacking! A trick I saw for removing excess air in freezer bags is to submerge the bag in a bowl of water and then seal.😊
I'll have to try that trick next time. Hopefully this video makes the process a little smoother for you next time you make it! Thanks for watching. 💚
Good afternoon. M stuff grew to tiny but I will not give up. Started my fall garden 🪴.
Gardening is lots of trial and error - good luck with the fall garden!
Superb 🥰
Thank you Kamal!
A little trick to get the air out of plastic bag, after placing your itmes in the bag, seal it 90% and then dip the bag in a small tub of water. but not to the top of course.
Thanks for the tip David - I'll have to try that next time!
when I make pesto I add a bit of mint leaves so devine,
I rescued some basil that was ripped out of our community garden for no reason. Hope it roots so I can have it inside!
Oh no - why would someone do that? Good luck rooting 🤞
@@CaliKim29 It was a program called "Food For All" I've no idea why. So far, its still alive. Thank you
My Basil looks pathetic compared to yours! 😮
Love the recipe!!!!
I'm sure your basil looks beautiful Stephanie - we were lucky to have an especially great harvest this year. Thank you!
Oh, there is nothing better! We like to add it to homemade pizza, the first layer of sauce is actually pesto.
That sounds amazing Cliff - will have to try that next time we make pizza.
Some asshole caterpillar ate most of my basil as I was getting ready to harvest it, they're an asshole butterfly now
1) your basil looks glorious, congrats!
2) your pesto doesn't look as glorious: it's extremely thick, it definetely needs more olive oil, less cheese and pepper is useless.
3) I wouldn't freeze it, you'll loose some taste, make less pesto and put it into the fridge: it will last few days... but fine if you want to freeze it.
4) no lemon juice please: wash your leaves carefully, put them into the mixer under a layer of olive oil, mix it carefully: a thin layer of olive oil must stay on top, this should avoid oxidation.
