We have honestly been so incredibly blessed with our garden and I honestly love it! It is so fun to plant one seed and watch an entire plant create such beautiful vegetables and fruit. Love it so much and we have always been so lucky and always get tons and tons of yummy things.
My favorite part is not only enjoying the fresh stuff but I love, love canning and making salsa, spaghetti sauce, all kinds of canned fruit and fruit leather
This was just one small sampling of what we get to grow in our garden. This year we had everything we needed to make salsa except the vinegar and tomato paste.
This was just the start... love homemade salsa and spaghetti sauce! It lasts all year!
This year, my SIL Kisty traded some plums for peaches so I decided to make some jam and fruit leather and here is how it started... cut them in half, take out the seed, and cook them for a bit...
blend them up nice and smooth and add just a tiny amount of sugar
okay, for the jam, you add a LOT of sugar but not for the fruit leather - I was really surprised that I didn't need to add much at all
And then...you spread it nice and smooth and let it "dry" in your warm oven for hours and hours - delicious!
The jam just set up and it is SO good!
We also canned a ton of peaches and froze a ton as well - I love it for smoothies and shakes! YUMMY!
So fun and I love feeling like I used what we planted.
