Yesterday's Project

While the US is suffering with a tomato shortage due to the Salmonella outbreak, we here at the W* household are swimming in tomatoes, literally, my 7 big tomatoes plants are ready for harvest, and we can only eat so many sun-ripened delicious tomatoes.

We have given away as many as my visiting teachers, home teachers, VT companions will take....sometimes I think they think we are bit nuts, but I grew up with a big garden, so fresh produce to me is equal to baked goods.

So yesterday with the plethora of tomatoes, jalapeƱos that reseeded themselves from last year's garden, and a lady who was giving away free onions in my neighborhood (I know, random), I made salsa. The only ingredient I had to buy was green peppers, because my poor little green pepper plant may not, (sob, sob) make it.

I have canned salsa once before, it Utah, but never by myself, it w as an "experience". But I am really proud of my 17 little jars. Thanks for the recipe, Amy.
