72°f/22°C, going to be another hot one today.
We were out early this morning, picking tomatoes at my son's friend's high tunnels. We were home before 10am and now I'm up to my elbows in maters.
I am making all of these into juice. We use about 80 quarts of tomato juice every year. I have plenty of salsa, bruschetta, whole tomatoes and soup already, but we are nearly out of juice.
Yesterday we made 20 quarts of applesauce. With 30 already in the cellar, we just need 10 more quarts to fill the apple butter kettle in November.
Well, back to work!

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lot of work!
ReplyDelete...you sure have been busy!
ReplyDeleteYou never stop.
ReplyDeleteFor many years I have canned in quantity [other than the 12 years in WY where gardens don't happen] but this summer I'm finding I'm way less enthusiastic about doing it. I'm looking at the rows of canned goods from several seasons back and wondering just how much we really need.
