Garlic Scape Pesto

Garlic scapes are the seed stem that garlic produces as it grows. These scapes must be removed in order for the plant to expend its energy producing garlic instead of seeds. Farmer Helen does not discard them. She uses them just as she uses garlic.
She developed this recipe for pesto using the scapes. Its flavor, while garlicky, is a bit more subtle than garlic. Farmer Ben said," I bet that would make delicious garlic bread. It does!"
