CRAZY....BUSY day today.....
started with the Church 15th Anniversary Celebration.....worship
service, then a luncheon and an auction....it was a BLAST!!!
Part 2 of last weeks message at www.h-hcc.org
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
then home to do some more canning....
we picked 73 lbs of tomatoes...we focused on the ROMA's...they are super
meaty so they will work great for making PIZZA SAUCE
we have never canned Pizza Sauce before so we created our own recipe....
it tastes GREAT!!! it is so thick the spoon stays straight up......
here is our recipe.....
Pizza Sauce : makes 15 pints
1/2 bushel of Roma Tomatoes
3 lbs onion
4 green peppers
2 heads of garlic....separate each clove and press
cook for 2 1/2 - 3 hours to reduce....you can see in the pot above where it started and where it finished
1/4 cup salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup veggie oil or olive oil
1 1/2 cup Italian Pizza Seasoning (from GFS)
add these items....bring to a boil and can in a pressure cooker for 5 minutes at 5 lbs of pressure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
with the rest of the tomatoes we did another 14 quarts of Chili...so that is 29 more jars today.
last year we found this great store brand Pizza Sauce called Classico...from Sam's Club
or Walmart....it tasted great and it came in a Pint canning jar.....so we have kept
them through the year and we recanned our Pizza Sauce right back in them...
Recycle....Reuse.....Gotta Love It!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
still had some daylight so we finished the back porch steps..... same 2 views
as Wednesday August 15th
took all the tools back to the barn and realized that I hadn't watered the garden in over a week...
went to check on my lettuce and the green beans and found them growing all over
my watering stand....OK so the rain DID make everything grow!!!!
there are full sized beans hanging off the waterer....Amazing......we will be canning
green beans tomorrow!!!
Pleasant Dreams!!!
