What did you make from your garden today?

I'm going to try making green tomato salsa tomorrow. Some with habaneros for DH, and some wimpy stuff for me with a jalapeno or two.

Gonna attempt pizza sauce today in small jars so we dont waste so much when buying at stores...so got some little jars and praying I can keep stirring it til it cooks down well.
Any tips for thickening it up without using tomato paste?

Lunch sandwich! This was sooo delicious I made it with the eggs from our hens and we have a bunch of cherry tomatoes and basil ready from our garden, and also some onions we got today. I also like to sprinkle some habanero on top of it, I love spicy things!!

When I cook down DH's salsa, I just put it on very low and let it simmer away. I stir it every now and then. If the heat's too high, it'll scorch.

Sliced up some cucumbers for our salad tonight…last two cukes are in the fridge. I don’t want to cut them yet since I know it will be 8 months until I eat another fresh one! Last zucchini was eaten yesterday. At least I still have an abundance of tomatoes turning red on the counter. Time to start relying on kale, cabbage, potatoes & squash!

I know what you mean about the cucumbers! The ones we grow now aren’t those bitter things that our parents grew.

I did this by accident with my ENTIRE Roma tomato harvest.... No sauce for us this year.
