Pesto, pesto, pesto. I also process it with a little water and then freeze in cubes to pop into recipes during the winter. That is one healthy cucumber!
That is one long cucumber... Does it taste as good when it gets THAT big? I usually buy the small (pickling-type) cucumbers... They taste so much better than the big fat ones to me... I like their crispness...
that's one very large cucumber! basil and tomatoes look very lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt was really good. We had half of it in a salad last night.

I have frozen some already. I need to do more I suppose.
DeleteThat cucumber sure is a prize winner. I have given about 3 pounds of basil away. I really need to get some in the freezer for myself soon.
ReplyDeleteI've given it away too but I will have to make pesto and freeze more of it.
DeleteI know that real foodies say it's a no no, but I love basil dried.
ReplyDeleteNever tried to dry it.

It is one good cucumber. Doesn't look like I'll be getting anymore like that since the plants are dying now.
DeleteYes, pesto is what you do with it! :-D Yummy! Beautiful. Nice cuke, too.
ReplyDeleteI don't have pine nuts but I imagine walnuts will do.
DeleteI also pick my tomatoes before they are fully ripe! It saves them from the bugs and squirrels.
ReplyDeletenice looking harvest! Basil=pesto! I'm somewhat addicted to pesto and can't ever seem to get enough! Next year I"ll triple the patch.
