Okay, so I'm not sure if this qualifies as a craft or not but I did make it. It took me an hour to chop up all the ingredients and add all the spices, then it had to cook for 3 hours, then I had to bottle it. So it basically took up all of my afternoon yesterday and I only got 8 pints. On the plus side - I didn't have to go to the store for any of the ingredients. The tomatoes and green peppers came from the garden Aaron has so dilligently taken care of and the rest of the stuff we already had around the house. This is the first of hopefully many things I want to bottle this year. My dad requested chili sauce because he is on his last bottle and he puts it on most everything. Hopefully this will be enough to get him by. When the next group of tomatoes is ready it will be time for Spaghetti Sauce!
I can't wait to start bottling!! I am about a month behind you guys because of our growing season, but hopefully I'll get a few things done before the baby comes.
ReplyDeleteI love bottling too! It's my favorite time of year!
