Waiting for tomatoes is harder than waiting for Christmas! This year I planted the wee plants and walked away. No cages. No pinching. No fussing. Just good soil, h2o, and a yank or two on the mega weeds. I have a forest of tomatoes with little to no disease! Ditto for basil.
Green mass of untamed tomato plants! Better that the brown mess I usually get.
Pesto here we come. Freezes great!
2-3 cloves garlic
1cup nuts of choice (I use walnuts)
Chop up in processor
Add 2 cups jammed of basil and whiz together.
Drizzle olive oil in until it is the consistency you like. I tend to keep it thick like a spread for warm fresh bread. If I want to add to pasta as a sauce I just add extra olive oil to the pasta as I stir in the pesto. Also a touch of the pasta water makes the sauce super moist and creamy.
Add 1/2 cup parmesan or more if you like salty cheesiness. Might need to readjust the amount of olive oil. Whiz up a little and your done!
I freeze it in little throw away plastic containers. If keeping some in fridge, drizzle a thin layer of olive oil on top to keep from browning.

Homegrown tomatoes have ruined store bought ones for me. Our tomato leaves went all yellow and spotty this year though :(. Your crop looks amazing.
