Pesto truly shines in summer. So go harvest that fragrant bounty of basil growing in your yard (or at the farmer’s market!) and enjoy it while it lasts. Stir a little bit of pesto into pasta or rice for a taste sensation, or use it as a spread for sandwiches or unforgettable bruschetta.
Yields 1/2 cup.

I knew these were a hit when my husband and older daughter - the two biggest pickle fans I know - declared them DELICIOUS! The recipe for these lil’ wonders comes from Better Homes and Gardens Low-Salt Cooking and could not be easier. As stated in the description, “Tucked into a sandwich or alone on a relish tray, these pickles will please even the salt-lover’s palate.”
Yields 7 cups.
