I've got tons of tomatoes sitting on my counter & porch waiting to fully ripen. So tomorrow we will be making & canning salsa. There are several recipes here http://www.salsagarden.com/Canning_Salsas.html We will be using the "Home Canned Salsa" recipe. I will need to run to the store to get some onions, salt, & seals but other than that I have enough to make probably at least 5 batches.
My husband & son really like their salsa! lol
So far this season I've canned & stored:
strawberry preserves
Green beans
whole new potatoes
chopped potatoes
tomato juice
crushed tomatoes
enchilada sauce
pasta/spaghetti sauce
pizza sauce
Still in pantry from last season:
dill pickle spears
dill pickle slices
bread & butter pickles
pickled squash & onions
cowboy candy (candied jalapenos)
jalapeno pepper slices
banana pepper slices
green tomato salsa
It may seem strange, but it's so neat to open the pantry and see things that we've grown & preserved ourselves. ~Hard work pays off~
