A Family Affair!
Salsa making this year was a family event. Everyone was involved and the result was delicious and colorful. We make salsa every year but never were so many hands "in the pot".
Susan was cutting onions beside Colton and Jordan who were on the green pepper duty. Before we knew it Susan was crying and the kids had their protective gear on!

Bear squeezed two heads of garlic and he attempted to stir the pot full of ingredients but was too hard....


So, Susan got her hands into it and accomplished the mix.

We had live entertainment between cutting and clean-up!

Bear set up the water-bathing in the garage on a big gas burner. It is wonderful to have that outside.

Had some trouble with the jars sealing this year--not sure what the problem is! Had to reseal half of the salsa jars.......
This si the final half of Salsa. Susan canned 15 pints last week.
The final product! Phew...finished...now on to the next thing...V7 Tomato Juice (couldn't get myself to put in the beets).
