I've tasted quite a few jarred commercial pesto, and pesto in tubes, etc.
They were all nasty. Frozen is the only way for me. And drying, of course.
I'm ready to dry another batch today myself. It's so humid here, up around
45% in the afternoon, that nothing I'm drying is getting crispy dried. It's
all kinda wilty.
