Pesto with a Twist

Basil is not a herb I have success growing. For reasons unknown, it is rare for me to manage to keep it alive long enough to do anything significant with it. This year, my sister suggested keeping the little pots inside on the kitchen window. It worked - my 2 basil plants thrived. Then I killed them and turned them into pesto. Found a Jamie Oliver recipe but I didn't have any pine-nuts so I used hemp hearts instead. Just as good. I love pesto. Storing it in the ice cube trays makes it easy to use a bit at a time.
