I generally don't do a whole bushel of tomatoes in one day, if I am by myself, because it just takes all day on my feet. But, today I tried it, and I won't do that next year. (a half bushel at a time for me.) But I did get 25 pints of salsa and 9 quarts of bottled tomatoes. I really want to get my food storage updated before winter.Today, we also finally got our rotating shelves out of the box and put together and put out in our storage room. We only got it for Christmas........and we finally put it together. We are quick. Anyway, it stores those huge cans that we 'can' through the church. I am so excited to fill it up with my cans that are in boxes everywhere in my storage room.
Hey, if anybody out there wants us to put together your rotating shelves, just bring them by. We will have them to you in about 8 months.
Oh how I miss Salsa Saturday. I am wishing for some this morning for breakfast! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you did a whole bushel by yourself. CRAZY!!
Good Job!
wow that is a lot of salsa and tomatos. Wes said you were quite busy.
ReplyDeleteI really really hope that someday my interest is peaked to doing some canning. So many of my neighbors do it. Do you still smell like salsa? lol, I will never forget that day waiting for the bus with Carrie, and she had me smell her hair, and it smelled just like salsa! lol, did you make any HOT salsa?
ReplyDeletenot hot salsa. I don't like it hot. Medium to mild is what I like. And yes, I do smell like salsa that day, and so does the house, but not as much now that I cook it outside. So really, I am not sure my house smelled like salsa this year, nor me for that matter, with it cooking outside. The house smelled like green peppers and onions for awhile, but that is all.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I can provide some great memories! :) Funny that today I have been canning a whole bushel of tomatoes by myself. UGH!! They take forever!! I'm on my 3rd batch.
