Can you freeze parsley pesto?

Yes! The two ways I recommend freezing pesto are in small glass jars that seal tightly (leave a little room in the top), or in an ice cube tray so you can get just the amount you need, when you need it! Detailed instructions above :)

Can I make parsley pesto in a blender?

You sure can. I prefer a food processor, but a good quality, high-speed blender will also work. You may need to occasionally stop the blending process to push ingredients down the sides or use a tamper to keep the ingredients close to the blade.
