Last week in my CSA box I got some garlic scapes, so I thought I'd try the "Garlic Scape Pesto" in MaryJane's book. Got it all mixed up, and boy...is it ever strong! Yesterday, got more garlic scapes. I was wondering if anybody else had tried this before, or if anyone has an idea how to dial it back a notch or two? It's still good...just REALLY strong.

Jessie,
Heat depends on the variety of garlic. Red Gourmet or German Red produce very mild garlic scapes. You might try adding some basil.

Wow. I didn't know that is what a "scape" was. All this time I have been tossing it out. No more- I am tempted though to add a little chopped basil........Mmmmmmm I love PESTO!
