Canning Salsa

After much pruning, watching and waiting the tomatoes are ripe!! I'm not sure why but I really enjoy canning anything with tomatoes, in fact I have been looking forward to this day all week :)

It is such a blessing to be able to store food for the Winter, and ever so yummy!!

First we chopped up tomatoes...

Which was very exciting for Andy because he really, really likes tomatoes.

Both eating and poking holes in them. :)

Then we chopped up peppers...

and onions...

then added some spices and mixed it all together.

Then we took the empty jars...

and filled them with delicious salsa!

My Busy Family

The past 2 days I have been standing around and watching my family work and work and work. They have been putting up 1 of the 2 bins that need to be built before harvest, I feel kinda bad that I can't do anything but it is fun to watch the teamwork.
So here are some pictures of how it's done.

First came building the frames.

And lots of planning and figuring.

Laying the re bar.

And then a lot of cementing.

The finished foundation.

And up gos the bin.

My sweet hard working husband.

Putting in LOTS of bolts and nuts.

The finished product.
