Canning
So if you're a regular reader of this blog (and let's face it, no one is!) you might be wondering where I've been. Where are the new recipes? Heck, where are the OLD ones?
I've been busy canning.
Over the summer I went to two in-home parties to learn how to can. At both parties there was copious amounts of wine, and well, lets just say I didn't pay attention to any of that canning stuff. I mean, who has time for that? All that sweating over a giant vat of boiling water for 4 hours.
Who actually DOES that?
Apparently, I do.
As Mark says, I either do everything half-assed or 790% Canning has fallen into the latter category.
So far we've made two different salsa recipes and a canned bruschetta recipe. And I'm not done yet. I'm going to make hot salsa, and mango salsa... and green salsa. There are just so many possibilities!!!And eventually, when I grow bored with my new found hobby (and run out of canning jars) I'll go back to cooking up delicious new recipes.
Until then... I think I need another 10-pound box of tomatoes!
