Here we go again....

...Friday we froze peaches...enough to make 4 peach crisps this winter
 and another patch of pasta sauce.

My canning pot is huge...18 quart size
it's filled with chopped tomatoes...red and yellow ones
sweet onions
celery
orange peppers
shredded zucchini
fresh parsley
garlic chives
and fresh basil
everything mixed and cooking for 1/2 hour...
simmering for 3 hours...

looking good...I pureed it a bit,  not too much
and simmered it for another few hours.
From start to finish...about 8 hours
and 10 jars of sauce to eat this winter.
My friend Christa came over for dinner and a Friday night of sewing.
We had pasta with some of the pasta sauce mixed with ground beef
and a garden salad for dinner
with peach cobbler dessert...it was sooo good!!
Sorry...no picture, I know I should have taken a picture before we ate...
I'm sure no one wants to see a picture of my leftovers.

    Your sauce looks wonderful. Would you care to share the recipe? I need one since I cheat and use a mix with my tomatoes.

    Yummy! I though of you this week. I was with a friend at a quilt expo and saw a red work pattern I liked. When I saw the name Bird Brain Designs I knew it would be a winner because of you! I love your work and you use this company a lot. So thank you Pauline!

    Your sauce looks amazing!! Bet it taste good too. I used to can things when I was younger (a lot younger). It taste good when you don't have to go to the store to buy it. Thanks for sharing.

    Your sauce looks delish! I'm going to try canning some tomatoes for the first time. Maybe I'll through in some veggies like you show. Do you have a recipe?

    no garlic? My son and I canned last weekend and will probably do more... if I can find some tomatoes at a reasonable price. They are a little scarce this summer with all the crazy weather her in Missouri!

    ooohhh your sauce looks so good. I haven't canned in years. Not really practical for one but lucky me, my canning friends often share.

    Your sauce looks delicious. I enjoy canning but have never made any tomato sauce. I love it when you hear the jars seal.

    Oh that sauce looks wonderful, and peach crisp sounds great, although it's not something I've ever tried, but anything with the word peach in must be good!

    I'm jealous of all your fresh peaches and veggies Pauline. I'm at my sisters for a few days and we will pick pears today. I love pear preserves so I'm sure that's going to be on our agenda. Wonder if you can make pear crisp? :). Blessings, Marlene
