Basil pesto sauce for winter at home

Sauce, how is the preparation for the winter? Yes, it's real! Try it! I really like to make preparations for the winter - then I feel like a Hostess (yes, with a capital letter). You'll smile, but it's true. In the list of my possessions, among the many jams and various salads, there is also the famous Italian pesto sauce, the recipe of which I hasten to share with you.
