**************************************************

I was able to get a little bit of preserving done this week which makes me quite happy. I was really feeling like I wasn’t getting much put away for winter, but after the past week I am feeling a little better about that.

I am linking up with Robin over at The Gardener of Eden for Thursdays Kitchen Cupboard

After getting some new flour I had a bit of a baking day on Saturday. I made my zucchini bread which was heavy as heck, but quite yummy. I plan to make a few more loaves and freeze them for later.
forgot to take a picture when it looked nice and yummy...this little bit is all that is left...lol

I also made 2 loafs of Swiss farmers bread. It was pretty darn great too. However, I should have turned the 2 huge loaves into 4...lol Oh well live and learn right. One is already gone and the other is in the freezer.


I finally had enough ripe tomatoes to make my first batch of salsa. I was a little runnier that I would have liked and a little hotter, however I think it will still taste pretty darn great. I was able to get 8 500ml jars

I also decided to freeze just about all of the cauliflower and broccoli that I showed you on Monday. I should have enough now to get us though a few months.
last night I picked the remainder of my broad beans, blanched and froze them. I just made 1C bags this time and will use them in soups 

Today's plan is to can some bruschetta and maybe get a bit of sewing done :)

My list of things that I still need to can/freeze this year are
Tomato sauce 40
Whole tomatoes 30
Salsa 16
Taco Sauce 10
Beets- might just freeze these
Carrots-freeze

Much smaller than last year, but still quite a bit!

Have a great day

  4. Your salsa looks great all bottled up and ready for the pantry....I am only just nursing along my tomato seedlings ready to be planted out in about 6 weeks time so I'm along way off from making any sauces.
    Swiss farmer's bread sounds interesting..............

  5. Mmmm, salsa... Ok, now I want to make some nice bubbling enchildas. Too bad I have none if the ingredients in the house.

    The swiss bread sounds good. Care to share a recipe?
