Once you have made fresh pesto you will never want to go back to the jar again! Especially quick and easy if you have a blender or mini chopper, but it can be made easily enough with a pestle and mortar. Pesto can be made with most types of nuts, substitute the pine nuts for walnuts, toasted blanched almonds or pistachios.
