Canning

We harvested the pumpkins from the garden......6 total. I might cook one for a pie or bread. They are just so BIG.....buying a little sugar pumpkin at the store seems like it might be easier.

This may be our next-to-the-last basket of tomatoes. Our morning temperatures range between 34 and 42 degrees with a daytime high of 65-70 degrees with sunny skies. Glorious weather!

This is our favorite recipe for making a basic marinara sauce.

Randy made some ground beef chili and decided to can the extras as our freezer gets so full. Worked great. He's trying a vegetarian chili today and a chicken white chili tomorrow.

Over the last week he has made a tabasco-like hot sauce, pickled peppers with carrots and onions, salsa, and pickled beets. He has definitely been in a canning mood!
