Please refrain from purchasing the Chinese version of pinenuts. They are not only in fair in flavor and quality but quite frequently have toxins that humans do not want in their bodies. According to the Rodale Institute. Real pin nut as I call it “pinus edulis” from the American southwest is the Correct choice. Locally it is referred to as the pinion pine. Sunflower seeds are superior in flavor texture and quality to the Chinese pignoli. I just wanted to throw that in there….

Oh my goodness, marinated oranges are SO happening this winter!! Also I feel like this is a stupid question but does anyone know if you can freeze pesto and have it still be good? My basil plant still has so much on it and I want to use it before it gets too cold, but it would require making a pretty big batch. Just wondering if it loses its goodness after being frozen given the fresh herbs.
