Both are good and very inexpensive to make. Most have everything on their pantry self which makes it easy.
Most of this week was spent packaging and freezing meet etc. from my shopping Marathon. However we are now set for winter except for a few things that I will get in the next few weeks. Then shopping will be only a few perishables like milk etc.
Be sure to visit our host The Gardener of Eden
and see what others have been squirreling away this past week.
I've been pretty slack. I wanted to make applesauce but the farmers market was out of their cheap apples last week. But I made sure this week to get there right as they opened. I'm hoping to make some tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWilderness, Looks good! I've been pretty busy canning this week. What do you have in the last photo, ketchup?
ReplyDeleteLove Your canned tomatoes! Must find a good recipe! Found a weight-converter that I put in my blog now! Hope You like it - it is really hard to convert Yourself, I think! Have a nice weekend! :) Mia
ReplyDeleteDaphne, Apples are one of the things I have left to get for winter. I hope to get to the orchard in the next week or so.
ReplyDeleteRobin, I would like to be busy canning but nothing is really ready yet. The last photo is taco sauce. Now that the post for today is finished things will make a little more sense out there. That was a draft but blogger is still giving me big problems and I have no tabs on my main screen for a new post or anything like that. Can't change the design and can't find anyone that can help me get it fixed.
Mia, I don't do anything to the tomatoes but peel them and can them with a teaspoon of salt. That way I can use them in many different ways during the winter.
everything looks great!! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWilderness, you always have great recipes! Thanks for sharing these!
