In reply to Susan. Thanks for the citric acid powder tip!! I'm definitely going to try that for my next batch. I do leave out the cheese when I freeze it and just add it before serving. :)

Just wanted to share a tip I got via Michael Chiarello, use pure citric acid powder to keep the pesto bright green, just a pinch. Also if you’re freezing the pesto, don’t add the Parmesan cheese until later, when defrosted and ready to use. Makes it much fresher, just mix in the cheese.

I o love homemade pesto, but have never frozen it, so was really interested in your experience of freezing it with and without the cheese.

I like the idea of using mixed nuts. Looks like a great recipe. Yum!
