Tomatoes Done!




The tomatoes are all done! I really enjoyed doing it this was, there was much less mess! 2-5gal buckets of tomatoes made 14 quarts, (minus a few cherry tomatoes for more BLT bites =p) more than I was expecting! There was a little bit left over, so we're going to have taco/chilli soup for supper. Mmmmmmm!

Tomatoes Today!!


Here is what I have to do today! The day before yesterday I went out to the garden (can't really call it a garden when all that's left is the tomatoes!) just to see what was out there. I was shocked! The super romas were very ready! Don't be fooled by that first bucket with the cherry tomatoes, it's really half full of romas as well.
I'd been canning pizza, spaghetti, and just regular tomato sauce so far, but my hubby would like some stewed tomatoes, and that's just fine with me! That means I wont have to run them through the Squeezo (AKA hand cranked Victoria Strainer)
Here my pots are ready!

BLT Bites


Don't these look yummy???? I just now whipped them up as a snack for supper tonight!
All you do is scrape out the tomato centers and add a mixture of crumbled bacon, mayo, cheese and parsley (and whatever else you like!)
My hubby is Really going to like these!

Cinnamon Apples


Hello all! I'm still here! Thankfully my husband hasn't needed my help on this current basement job. I've been able to get caught up on some things here at home!
Here is my latest accomplishment - Cinnamon Apples! Yummmmmmy! We had gotten a couple buckets of apples from Andy's grandparents tree and I was wanting to do something different with them.


Soaking in the cinnamon/sugar syrup

Bottling up for the canner

First canner load done!


Aren't they pretty?


I apologize for the lack of good pictures, my hubby has the camera at work so I have to use my phone!
I canned a total of 7 pints and 13 quarts! It was such a blessing to be able to can food that didn't cost us anything
