This ain’t your nonna’s pesto. This isn’t anything like traditional Basil Macadamia Pesto, though the herbs are ‘pounded’ or blended. We also throw in some nuts and if you like, some parmesan cheese. But this spicy pesto would be great on barbecue meat, seafood or veges. It makes a nice dip if you leave it …

Traditional recipes for sauerkraut involves pounding the cabbage and creating a ‘self brine’, but I never have much success doing it that way. I also prefer a crunchier end result too. So instead, I finely shred the cabbage and julienne the carrots, then I add a wet brine, poured over the top. I use my Pickl-It jars, and this method always …
