April 25, 2012

the winds have dropped off a bit, great sunny morning and then turned rainy this afternoon/evening.

Ross started getting sick yesterday and so today he stayed home.....wanted to make him some soup for dinner and realized that another meal I haven't made yet this year is Pepper Soup.....it is a recipe we recived from the kids grandpa Dick...we can a bunch of quarts every year and all you need to add is hamburger (and salt & pepper to taste)

Pepper Soup: (family recipe tweeked a bit)
12 quart stock pot - 3/4 full of tomatoes (blanched)
bring to a rolling boil

cut your bell peppers (red, green, yellow or orange) into 1 inch square pieces
(about a large pepper per jar)

fill the clean hot jars with peppers....about 1/3 - 1/2 full and then add the stewed tomatoes ....leave about 1/4 head space......we use the hot lid/ring system and then we put the quart jars in a pressure canner for 20 minutes at 10lbs.






today when I made dinner....I took out 3 quarts of Pepper Soup and added 2 lbs of hamburger to it......served it over rice with the jalapeno bread I made the other day.






Pleasant Dreams!!!
