A wee little bit of yumminess

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...
