How do I can oil with herbs? Can I can pesto?
Herbs and oils are both low-acid and together could support the growth
of the disease-causing Clostridium botulinum bacteria. Oils may be
flavored with herbs if they are made up for fresh use, stored in the
refrigerator and used within 2 to 3 days. There are no canning
recommendations. Fresh herbs must be washed well and dried completely
before storing in the oil. The very best sanitation and personal hygiene
practices must be used. Pesto is an uncooked seasoning mixture of herbs,
usually including fresh basil, and some oil. It may be frozen for long
term storage; there are no home canning recommendations.
