Garlic Scape Pesto

So here it is, the correct Garlic Scape Pesto! I know you've all been holding your breath to see whether I'd get it right...
Well I did!
Notes;
when you're cutting your 1" sections and you're starting from the bottom and the knife makes a sound that's like cutting through wood? that means the stems are woody and you shouldn't use those parts...
also, set your dishwasher on 'tough scrub' setting...

Really this just makes me long for basil, basil, BASIL!!!!!! Must. make. pesto. now...

It's pretty tedious pinching off the herb leaves of whatever herb you're using, did you know that?!?

Next time I'll try and just use the tender parts of the scape (this second batch was less tender).
Oh, and I'll try the blender, and if I'm really daring, I'll up the oil to 1/2 C.

Now I'm sucked into that Jewel book, what can I say? SPOILER She has a Down's baby and the book is an exploration of what happens to the family in reaction to this. Pretty gripping. We'll see what happens- no moral smackdown yet.
