** Combines three delicious flavors of Basil available from Park Seed: Rich Italian, Tangy Lemon Sweet, and Peppery Red Rubin, to create a zesty and complex condiment for appetizers, seafood, and pasta:

Ingredients:
1 cup chopped Italian basil
1/2 cup chopped Lemon Sweet basil
1/2 cup chopped Red Rubin basil
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2/3 cup pine nuts
6 to 8 large garlic cloves
1 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Pulverize the pine nuts and garlic in a food processor and then blend in the basil mixture, followed by the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Then, gradually blend in the olive oil until the pesto has the desired thickness and texture.

For color and flavor variety, try replacing half of the Italian basil with a half-cup of re-hydrated and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
