Well it is that time of year again. Time to start bottling all your hard work into somthing great to enjoy for the winter months. I love canning, it is one of my favorite chores. This year I invited a few of my friends over to help and teach. Chelly canceled last minute, due to sick kids. But still made an apperence with treats to share. What a sweety. So it was just me and Mandy. We had a great time chopping blanching and boiling. And of course chatting. We ended up making 17 jars of salsa each. The day before I made 7 jars of Grandma Hendrickson's chili sauce. Hunter and I are the only ones who like chili sauce. I can't tell you how many memories just the smell and taste brought back of time spent at Grandma's.So here is the Salsa recipe and picture. Maybe you will feel inspired and give it a whirl.
