Salsa 2010

I decided to make salsa on Saturday an Joy decided to come up and make some with me. We made seven batches of salsa which equals 70 cups of chopped tomatoes, seven chopped onions, 21 chopped jalapeno peppers, 21 chopped anaheim peppers, 28 cloves of garlic, three bunches of cilantro, two cups of vinegar and a whole lot of time. In all we ended up with 32 pints of salsa. (as seen below).

Creating the salsa

Joy brought the kids up and they had a great time entertaining themselves.  Uncle Quent helped entertain them as well, he let them feed the fish and then took them out on a four-wheeler ride to see the cows.  As noted previously on the blog, TJ loves the cows and Saturday they were in the open field across the street.  TJ was in seventh heaven.

Sunday morning I got up early and finished the salsa making. I made seven pints of green tomato/tomatillo salsa. It was a quick process thanks to my mom's meat grinder. I won't ever make salsa without it again!

 Six of the seven jars, one is already in the fridge. 

Looking forward:  Quent has the next week off for the deer hunt.  He is going to stay around home this year and hunt in the hills of Mantua.  We're hoping he is as successful as he was last year.
