*Tomatoes+Jars=Delicious Canned Tomato Soup*

I just want to throw out a big "THANKS" to Michelle for teaching me how to can the other day. I'm LOVIN' it. And everything we've canned so far is so yummy! She had a huge cardboard box full of tomatoes that we turned into pizza sauce & delicious homemade tomato soup. She showed me all the gadgets, recipes and jars I need to use to help the canning go by easier. This is going to be a blast.

We are going to can:

- Homemade Salsa

- Homemade Jalapeno Jelly

- Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

- Homemade Pepper Relish

- Homemade Apple Sauce

- Homemade Apple Pie Filling

I also want to can on my own:

- Pickled Green Beans

- Pickles

- Homemade Fruity/Pepper Sweet Relish

Now I can check another thing off my

*Tuesday Confessional: I Want A Garden*

I wish I could have a garden with.... Corn, Green Beans, Peas, Carrots, Squash, Cucumbers, Onions, Peppers, Tomatoes, Pumpkins, Cauliflower, Broccoli and Potatoes. But, unfortunately you can't grow ANYTHING in Randolph, unless you have a greenhouse. I went greenhouse shopping the other day and guess how much a greenhouse is that you can barely walk in and doesn't hold very much?? $1000.00.... and that's cheap. Yeah, not gonna happen, unless.... Joey thinks he can build me one.... I hope so. I love fresh vegetables and I LOVE to can them. Maybe, someday :)
