Huh. 10lbs of tomatoes sure don't go far in the sauce world. Got three pints. Heh. But better three pints of amazing deliciousness then then no pints at all. =) Of course now I'm spoiled for garden sauce over store bought junk. ::sigh:: I really, really need to grow more tomatoes next year.
Still haven't figured out precisely what I'm going to do with the bell peppers yet. I'd love to make a spread or roast them... not sure yet. Maybe we'll go to Powell's tomorrow and I'll let my kiddlet pick out a book and while she's looking at her book I'll go see if I can't find some amazing book of canning recipes. (Which I'll justify right now by saying it'll help me plan my garden *next* year... heehee)

Heee. I made roasted sauce yesterday and a whole pan of tomatoes, onions, peppers, and garlic made -- wait for it -- two jam jars of sauce. I just stuck 'em in the freezer. No sense hauling out the canner for that!
Your attitude is right on, though. It doesn't go far, but it goes pretty well.
I just got the Ball complete guide to home canning. It gives a ton of good recipes.
Ribbit, Funny you should mention that. I went to Powell's Books this afternoon and picked up Ball's Complete Book of Home Preserving: 400 Delicious and Creative Recipes for Today. At first blush I want to make at least 75 of them. lol That's not necessarily a bad thing. It also gives me planting direction in the garden for next year...
