My Everyday Photos

The garden is doing pretty well producing tomatoes, especially given our late start on everything and slow developing summer. Not enough to make tomato sauce. Ken suggested salsa so I bought a bunch of peppers at the farmers market and figured out a recipe and well, I took a few photos along the way also.

Peppers at the market

Halved garden tomatoes ready to start the process

Juicy Walla Walla onions

Cooking the tomatoes

These are about ready to be put through the food mill

I roasted the peppers on the grill

There’s the pureed tomato sauce

And there it is quite a bit reduced. I like my salsa on the thick side

Chopped peppers, onions, garlic

Spices – cumin, red sea salt, chile powder, chipotle powder

All mixed together in the pot

The finished product

I added a 1/4 teaspoon citric acid to each jar to boost the acidity
