Also use in the less common pesto sauces. Like roasted red pepper, sun dried tomato, scapes (garlicky). I’ve seen recipes for beet pesto But have never tried it myself. Easy do freeze, easy to use on pasta, diluted as a sauce on a meat or fish.
If you are having guests to dinner and use pine tree nuts in anything you have prepared - be sure none of your guests have tree nut allergies.
Not having ever seen pine tree nuts before, I had a very violent reaction to a few that were sprinkled in a salad. My host knew I was allergic to walnuts, cashews, almonds etc., but, never imagined pine nuts would also be an issue.
I really like pine nuts and use them in salad frequently - toasted. However, they are REALLY expensive and usually come in large bags (I typically get them at TJ's). They do get rancid if I don't use them up fairly quickly.
What do you use pine nuts for? I'm not interested in anything like cookies, cake, etc that requires baking.

Ponderosa pines produce an excellent pinon nut, but good luck with beating the squirrels to them.
I had a dog who used to snuffle through the duff under PondeBullBoxer31 to find crunchable pine nuts.

She was a weirdo.
