Today I made this wonderful organic Sicilian Genovese pesto. The basil is organic and comes from my garden. It's fresh and very tasty. I make these preserves for the winter.

Use organic basil from your garden, if possible.

After washing the basil leaves several times, dry them in a salad spinner. If you don't have time to air dry, use the spinner, then lay the leaves out on a clean kitchen towel.
