Busy Harvest Time

This is one day's harvest from the garden. My nights are full of processing this produce...canning, dehydrating, freezing, or serving it up for dinner. Above, we have purple tomatillos, three baskets of tomatoes and a basket of peppers. What is not shown in this picture is the five bushels of onions that I have recently harvested. This sounds like the basis for...organic salsa!

Mt tomatoes are low-seed paste tomatoes, mostly Amish Paste. For convenience I simply chop them roughly into quarters and put them into my ancient food processor. I process the peppers, onions, and tomatillos the same way, then I cook the whole slurry down fro two days on low heat until it becomes a thick sauce. I pressure can this, and summer is preserved for a cold winter's day.
