Storing the Garlic Scape Pesto
I store the Garlic Scape Pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This recipe makes about two 8 oz. jars and it will keep for about a month in the refrigerator. I use these mason jars {HERE} with these reusable lids {HERE}. Before using, just remove from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before hand so the olive oil can come back to room temperature.
