Yesterday we went to the farmers market to buy pickling cucumbers. The pickles were so good and we wanted to make sure to have more. They didn't have any pickling cucumbers and I didn't want to waste a trip, so we bought peaches and tomatoes to can.
Tonight we made salsa and then we made peach pie filling. I say we because, for the first time, the boys really helped. The youngest helped peel the tomatoes and wash the peaches, the oldest helped core and dice the tomatoes and peeled the peaches. It was nice having extra help to get the work done and it was great to have the jars on my counter this evening.
As long as the jars all seal, and as long as the half-filled jar of salsa that is in the fridge tastes good, then I'll buy more tomatoes and try to make some more salsa from scratch. We are planning to get more pickling cucumbers on Saturday, when the farmers market promised they would have more.
