Ya gotta have the beets...for color and flavor.
Pot is cooking down now - then I’ll whirl it with the hand blender, then use the Foley food mill, then back into the pot to add the final touches and taste testing, then canning
Only had to ‘cheat’ with two 28oz. cans of tomatoes - and this will be it unless I get some more tomatoes - but it’s not looking promising!
My recipe has a few more steps than yours, but after years of tweaking it, it’s just how I like it. :)
Two things need to happen this week - that pantry under the stairs needs to be cleaned out and organized and be ready to receive more canned goods, and I have to deal with Green Beans. :)
And then All The Fruit.
I’m starting to think I won’t do any canning this year at all. Last year I just did V8, some sauce and blueberry preserves. I am vac sealing broccoli, putting up chopped basil in olive oil, and freezing chopped shishitos. Chinese long beans will get eaten or frozen. Giving away cukes and zukes. I only have picked two regular size tomatoes so far. LOTS in the garden, looks like I will maybe make one small batch of sauce, one batch of gazpacho, and dehydrate the rest. I am going to be getting rid of some jars this year too. Oh No!!!!!!!!!!
