Canning

Right now I am on my 8-day stretch of no work. Well, I should correct that. It is supposed to be that; however, I have managed to pick up a few overtime shifts. Saving for a few new things around the house.

 That being said, I love my time off. Last night I decided that I am going to take on a few canning projects. Applesauce, Peach Jam, Salsa, and Salsa Verde. First one was a huge success...Salsa Verde. I only made 5 jars because we don't need much. It is extremely spicy and perfect for all of the mexican food Brad & I like to eat.

What's in it? Tomatillos, Anaheim Green Chile Peppers, Garlic, Jalapeno's, Onion, Cilantro, and then a ton of seasonings. Fabulous!

 It was Honduras where I first discovered my love for Salsa Verde. Hopefully after about a month this recipe will come close to what i remember.

 Today...peach jam. Last night we went to a local farm and purchased 1/2 a bushel of peaches. Of course we couldn't resist their smell and had to eat a few the moment we walked in the door! Later today I will pick up some jars and a canning kettle from my mother-in-law. I'm so excited to see the end result of all the jam. Beginners luck is what I am hoping for! Stay tuned for pictures.
