It’s the season of canning and preserving! We bought some “salsa” tomatoes this past Tuesday from a local farm, and now that they’re ripe, we decided to make a batch of salsa that we can enjoy this winter. This is the first time I’ve ever made salsa to can. It tastes great already! We used…
Candied Peppers – Garden Candy
Today I’m making Candied Peppers. These candied peppers are commonly referred to as “Cowboy Candy” but because we are using a variety of peppers in ours, rather than just jalapeños, I’m just calling it Candied Peppers…or Garden Candy!

Catsup from 1846
It’s Pioneer Days so what better than to make an old fashioned recipe for Catsup from 1846! Originally, catsup was a condiment made from fermented fish used in Asian cooking.
