Finally!! I’ve been chopping veggies all morning and making a sourdough bread! The salsa is cooking and the water bath is just about ready too!

alt text

A big pot of salsa is cooking on the stove and I’ll be canning it soon! There’s 9 cups of tomatoes seeded and skinned, 2.4 cups of onions, 2.5 cups of peppers (Hungarian hot wax, jalapeno, pepperocini, green bells) 8 cloves of chopped garlic, pickling salt, vinegar and some lemon juice.

Gosh that looks yummy 😋

Thank you, Jill! 🤗 I’m hoping it’s not too hot. It sure smelled spicy as heck!

You’re welcome. I’ve never made salsa. Is this a family recipe?

Jean Kelsey · 1 · 1d ago

😊 no, I found it on Pinterest. There are so many to choose from!

Set an extra place for dinner Jean, I’m on my way 😋… 🚂🛫’’’🛬🚖..😎… oh the saturated fat content of frozen peas is 0.1g per 100g serving … if you buy petit pois it’s nil .. 😊😉☀️👋

We have air conditioning and a guest suite! See you soon! 😁 oh that’s too funny! I’d make my shopping trip evolve around the dairy and freezer section 😂 Go fill the tub with cold water and add some ice. Hop in and cool down! Enjoy your evening! I’m about to take the jars out of the water bath!

Strangely it was very busy in the freezer section... everyone else checking the saturated fat content of frozen foods as well 😁..see you in a bit..🤗💚🍦☀️👋

Jean Kelsey · 1 · 1d ago

lol people are smart!

Mark D Alexander · 2 · 1d ago

Hmm...but it was my idea Jean 😂.. There is a store in town that is just frozen food...that must be packed out, and queuing around the block to get in to check the saturated fat content of frozen peas 🤣😉🫛🧊🫛....just boarding 🛫...☀️👋

Jean Kelsey · 2 · 1d ago

Lololol 🤣😂 The visual of those people! They might melt the food from melting while waiting.

Mark D Alexander · 1 · 1d ago

Ooh, yum! I always have homemade fresh salsa in the fridge. Do you have to cook it for canning? I envy your gardens!

Jean Kelsey · 2 · 1d ago

Thank you, Janet! Yes I’m cooking it now to reduce the liquid. The jars are resting in the hot water, so soon I’ll be doing the water bath.

That‘s beautiful! And all your own, too. 💪

Jean Kelsey · 2 · 1d ago

Thank you! It is a 2 day job! Yesterday I seeded and skinned the tomatoes, chopped them up and into a colander overnight in the fridge. Today was everything else. It’s so rewarding to use your garden for food! I still have to make hot pepper relish. I’m addicted to it!

Goodport (GP) · 1 · 1d ago

I’ve been making a green salsa with grilled tomatillos, peppers and onions. I’m just freezing it, not canning it. You make me want to get out the canner, though!

Jean Kelsey · 1 · 1d ago

You must have a huge freezer, like a walk-in 😁 I’m really glad I have the canning pot! My mom and grandma used it a lot. You should!
