Using up the tomatoes
Yesterday my Mom came out and we tried to put a dent into all those tomatoes! I decided that the quickest way to get though quite a few was to make tomato sauce. I have a food strainer attachment for our meat grinder. So that makes things a lot easier.
We ended up using 85lbs which gave us 14 1L jars
I also got some of my peppers processed on the 30th. I didn't use gloves right away since I didn't feel as though the peppers were that hot. Big mistake. Nothing like spending your birthday with burning hands....at least it was just my hands!!
So that is about all that is going on over here. I was going to make salsa today...but today turned into laundry day instead. Clean undies won out over processing tomatoes...LOL
Have a great day
Lovely sauce. And that is a lot of work. 85 pounds is something I'd do over days, not in a long session.
ReplyDeleteThat was a lot of work! Happy birthday :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, look at all that beautiful canning :) Love the idea of using the strainer attachment. Otherwise that's a lot of tomatoes to blanch & peel!
ReplyDeleteYum :)
ReplyDeleteAnd belated happy birthday
