It took a lot of convincing and I mean A LOT of convincing, but I finally agreed to "help" make salsa this year. I use that work very loosely here. Help means I poured ingredients in, stirred, tasted and canned it. My mother in law did the tomatoes and Al did all the chopping. It was a group effort. It's a good batch this year, maybe could have been a little hotter, but I think we always say that. It has a good cilantro flavor this year which I am excited about and it doesn't give me the hiccups which too many jalepenos does. So, all in all, I think it's just about Yummy!
Then, as if that wasn't enough, I decided to make jelly out of some grape juice I had frozen earlier. A glutton for punishment that's what I am. Hey, I needed the freezer space. (Or so I thought. Now when we open the freezer, Al and I just stare and say, boy, our freezer sure is empty. We don't even have any meat to cook a supper with. If I wanted to cook, that is.) Lucille to the rescue once again. She stopped over and we actually made three batches of grape jelly!!
I think I could be done "putting up for winter." Unless of course, Al or I gets another wild hair.
