DIY Idea: Pesto Presents
In need of a last-minute gift idea? You've come to right place!
I made some homemade pesto tonight for some of our family members. I have never made pesto before, and was surprised at how easy it was.
I bought these cutie little jars at Crate & Barrel. They are 6 ounce size, and you can't beat the price.
I used this recipe. One batch was the perfect amount to fill one of these jars.
The only changes I made to the recipe were that I toasted the pine nuts, and used a little less olive oil.
Then I added labels.
A closer view for you:

I added some pasta, and a little mini spatula for scooping the pesto. I think these gifts turned out pretty cute. They have handmade charm and practical use.
We'll see how they go over at our Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow!
