It was probably a long process of successes and failures. I hope not too many people died! And it is impressive- quite low tech, actually. You could do it on an outdoor grill if you had to.

For some weird reason I've always been afraid of canning/pickling my own stuff, probably because nobody showed me how and I was always afraid of poisoning somebody! I'll have to have a go though after seeing that. And I get what you mean about those roosters - no way could I kill one, I'd want to keep them all!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-77564784660617155762021-06-21T23:31:35.554-04:002021-06-21T23:31:35.554-04:00Salsa sounds like a good idea...Salsa sounds like a good idea...ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-91677437204789606052021-06-21T20:41:02.107-04:002021-06-21T20:41:02.107-04:00If I lived nearby I would be cheerfully helping yo...If I lived nearby I would be cheerfully helping you out with your tomato problems.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-79604553260189088722021-06-21T20:01:08.838-04:002021-06-21T20:01:08.838-04:00I think salsa sounds like a perfect solution to al...I think salsa sounds like a perfect solution to all those tomatoes!

My favorite thing to make and preserve when we have a rare overflow of usually late tomatoes. All that concentrated flavor!Radish Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534752971317927559noreply@blogger.com
