I canned two jars of my homemade salsa today. I did much better this time and learned from my initial mistakes. Now I want to make pickles and everything else preservable with a hot water canner. Any and all recipes will be welcome and good luck to you all.
We've had cooler tempatures lately thanks to the current crop of storms. It's not common for us to have a real fall so I've been enjoying it. I love this time of year, the smell in the air and cool breezes. The bell peppers and jalapenoes have been flourishing and I have been taking advantage of this. I 've frozen the bells and used the japs for salsa. The extra jalapenoes I am attempting to pickle. I've never canned before so my initial effort appears to not be great.
I'm planning to can some batches of salsa in the next day or two and since I've learned a lot from the internet I'm sure it will turn out better.
Other than that nothing's going down around here.
Hope everyone else is doing well.
As you can tell I have not been posting lately. Conditions around here went from drought to heavy rain overnight. As a result all of my tomatoes split open and are to differing degrees ruined. My few melons did the same and the pillbugs came in and chewed them up. The only plus this season has been squash and a few bell peppers. There may be some jalepenoes, but I'm not going to bank on those yet.
I'm working on getting a new job and focusing on getting out of the hole I've been in the last few years. I'm not going to give up all together, but right now I could care less about most anything but money.
I'm off to join the sheeple. I'll keep ya'll updated.
