Harvesting
The garden is starting to produce large quantities of produce all at once. You know what that means, home canning!
This Sunday was spent making salsa. It was an all day event and I learned something important. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR EYES for several hours after working with jalapeno peppers! Several Hours! Or it will burn like the dickens and it does not matter if you washed your hands, that hot stuff seems to cling in the pores.
Now for a few pics of Salsa Making 101.
We start by washing the jars in hot soapy water and then immersing them in boiling water to sterilize.
Next comes the chop, chop, chopping of vegetables.
All the ingredients amassed before they hit the pot.
Pouring the salsa into jars and then into a hot water bath for several minutes.
Finished Product!
Looks easy enough right? Easy yes, but A LOT of work....unless you are Holly and can get an easy job like twisting lids on the jars!
EAT WELL.
BE WELL.

Hahaha... Holly, what a slacker!!
That looks so delicious. And it looks like a TON of work. Enjoy!
ROFLMAO!
TFF! So true, I was a big time slacker that day. I figured I'd contribute by helping just twisting lids on ONLY 5 jars.
But hey, I worked REALLY hard taking pictures for YOU!
Lots of love to you!
