Notes

If you want to forage ramps - wild garlic for the first time, check it from a pocket guidebook before picking anything. The biggest clue is the smell. It may look similar to a ramp. Don't eat it if it doesn’t smell like garlic.
Never pick leaves next to busy roads or lanes, or low down, where dogs are regularly walked.
Carefully wash the ramp leaves, making sure to remove any soil or dirt.
Lightly toast the pine nuts before adding them to the pesto for a more intense flavor.
Freezing the ramp - wild garlic pesto is the best way to preserve ramps as they have a very short season.
