we have a few tomatoes

[nibot]

Kastan, JP, Jon, and Heather sorting, stewing, and canning tomatoes from the garden at Ant Hill Co-op.

We have a little bit of basil too.


Some tomatoes we packaged up as gifts for the neighbors.


Jon makes pesto... by magic!


Ben roasts peppers for salsa.

either way.. depends on what you're making. usually you mince it, i guess. but whole basil leaves + fresh tomato slices + olive oil + mozarella + fresh bread + red wine is totally divine.

you can dry basil? (-:

It's also excellent to put in bread when you're making it fresh (I prefer basil in my sourdough, but it's also good in white bread and pumpernickel!)

Yeah, just wash it and leave it out to dry on some paper towels for a week or so, then you can crush it up so it's almost like a powder. I've been up to my neck in basil these past few weeks...I think we've started putting pesto on top of pretty much everything lately.
