Next time, I might not puree the peaches for a thicker texture, great as is, just not "butter" like.<br /><br />One note, I was thinking of adding extra lavender. Don't do it, even after steeping the lavender buds, their flavor is very strong. Not in the butter itself but when you bite down on one of the actual buds. It is incredible.John From Raleighnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8745400342531594463.post-77792567418986216722011-09-13T21:45:41.162-04:002011-09-13T21:45:41.162-04:00I'm so happy to hear it!

Ultimately, I will...Thank you for your kind words!<br /><br />Ultimately, I will freeze both pesto & leaves, but right now I'm just doing basil leaves. Essentially, I clean & chop the basil, stuff it into our muffin tin (because this holds 1/4c & that's how much we generally use for recipes), just cover the basil with water & then freeze. Once it's frozen, I pop them out & place in a (labelled!) zip-top freezer bag. They work great popping into soups or sauces. I don't think it would be good to make pesto from frozen basil, though.<br /><br />Incidentally, you can do this with any herbaceous...well...herb. Parsley, cilantro work too.katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503125514920954129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8745400342531594463.post-42867073681070288202011-07-06T17:33:24.289-04:002011-07-06T17:33:24.289-04:00I love reading your blog!
