Hhmmm, what to do with a lug of tomatoes? I know!
Spaghetti Sauce!
Cass, Jennie and I spent our Saturday, our ENTIRE Saturday bottling spaghetti sauce. We didn't really know what we were doing but managed to turn out a delicious concoction! We even added some secret ingredients! Most of the ingredients were from one of our gardens. Ok, not my garden because I don't have one, but their gardens.
We thoroughly enjoy spending a day together chatting and discussing topics like .. what did the pioneers eat? We did conclude that their gardens must have been huge and the food they ate in the winter was probably kinda blah! (again .. I am so glad I a was not a pioneer!) There is something very satisfying about taking home grown produce and preparing it for winter use. I felt oh so domestic! Who knew canning could be so fun!

I spent the whole day Friday botteling Peach & Raspberry jam with my mom and sisters. It was a lot of work, but oh so satisfying and so yummy. I too am sooo glad I was not a pioneer. One day of that kind of work nearly killed me.
wow, that is VERY impressive! i'm feeling very jealous of the stock you have now! looks delicious and worth a hard days' work, right?!
