Cranberry Pistachio Pine Nut Pesto

I originally came up with this recipe after making balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts about 1001 times in the cafe. I was bored with it and decided to gourmet it up a bit. Cranberry Pistachio Pine Nut Pesto would also be incredible as a crostini appetizer, stuffed inside a chicken breast or wrapped into puff pastry with brie.
