The past two days, it has gone down in my kitchen. Tomatoes are a staple in our home. I turn them into so many things. Pasta sauce, marinara sauce, salsa, enchilada sauce, tomato soup, roasted tomatoes, whole tomatoes for soups and stews, etc.
Tomatoes are one of those crops that you have to really take care of. I mean baby it from growing the plants, to planting, maintaing, and then harvesting. Did I mention baby them. Yes, it is laborous but the rewards are so worth it. They take alot of extra love, care and a watchful eye. Waiting for those green ones to finally turn red is exciting. Seeing all the red is breath taking. Sweating like a pig 🐖 in this intense heat is exhausting but once again, it is rewarding. The taste makes you think you are in Italy. The smell is divine.
It took two days but I was rewarded 29 jars today.
I have some on ready to start a second batch in a few days.
I hope you're enjoying your summer bounty as well.
There will be a written tutorial on my blogs and a video of course. Stay tuned.
