I updated a classic Italian pesto to include cranberries and walnuts. It's so good slathered on pork loin, pasta or turkey sandwiches. -Aysha Schurman, Ammon, ID

This pesto is okay. It's not as good as I was hoping it would be. The flavors are a bit too strong for my taste.

I made this pesto last week and it was a disaster. The cranberries were too tart and the pistachios were too bland. I ended up throwing it out.

This pesto is so good! I love the combination of cranberries and pistachios. It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

This cranberry pesto is amazing! I made it last night and it was a huge hit with my family and friends. The flavors are so unique and delicious, and it's so easy to make. I will definitely be making this again and again.
