Basil Jalapeno Aioli

When I saw this recipe on We are not Martha, I saved it and knew I would have to try it immediately!!  (I bet that surprises, none of you by now!) And boy, oh boy, was I glad I did!  With all the sauces I have made, I can't believe I have never put these two flavors together.  But, as I always like to say.. better late than never!!  You can use this as a dipping sauce or put it on a sandwich as Sues did... either way, you're definitely going to want to try this!

I think this sounds delicious ... but you know me and jalapeno. Too bad my basil has seen it's last days due to frost. Pinning this one.

I have a garden still full of basil and jalapeños....I surely need to try my hand at making this-this sounds wonderful.

Oh yeah, this would rock with a variety of grilled meats.
