Peach Jam (pictures too)

We made Preserved some Texas peaches yesterday - and whipped up a big batch of Pesto from the basil int he garden.  This all the canning I plan to do for this year.  Putting the garden to bed this weekend, so I can have August for some other projects.

Do you have a good pesto recipe? I have to do something with my basil.

How I make it depends on what is on hand. This time around I had pecans, so we used pecans, basil, olive oil, garlic, a little pit of parmesan cheese, and salt.

It's pretty flexible - the most important thing is basil and olive oil.

If you had 6 cups of basil leaves (or more) you could use 1/2 cup of pecans and two big cloves garlic, and maybe 1/4 cup of parmesan. Then salt to taste and olive oil to the proper consistency. Oh, and some lemon juice to keep the color from turning too fast.

That stuff looks fantastic, you need to set up a roadside stand and in another 20 years you'll be worth millions!
