I will be stewing and canning them - easy peasy

I make and can tomato sauce, along with whole tomatoes for stews and soups, also. For the past couple of years I've been making salsa, too. If you haven't tried this and you like salsa, try it, you won't be sorry. You can it with a "hot water bath" method just like tomato sauce or whole tomatoes. I use fresh onions, peppers and garlic out of the garden. Some recipes call for lemon juice, some call for vinegar to raise the acidity. I like lemon juice better. It gives the salsa a nice twang. It's light years better than any salsa you can buy in the store. So good, in fact, that it should come with a warning label. We eat it with chips, with eggs, or as topping for fajitas or tacos. Delicious!

That was the first thing I made this year! We love homemade salsa. I should make more, too. Maybe I’ll set aside some greenies for that.

You know, I’ve never made sauce or juice. I hate skinning tomatoes, so haven’t branched out much. LOL.
