Sorry Ive been MIA

Of course summer came and is almost gone ='(. Ive been very busy like the rest of you. I'm hoping to get some new recipes up soon. Were at the point now in our CSA share when the tomatoes, melons, squash and cucumbers are in.  Damon made and canned stewed tomatoes & some homemade pasta sauce I will get those recipes up hopefully this weekend.  Canning is a new adventure but we are learning the ins and outs thanks to Susan, apparently certain foods need to be pressure canned and others just hot water bath will seal the jars. We want to try to make homemade pickles, salsa, jelly's, and chutneys.  Canning is a way to enjoy some of our farm fresh veggies year round, according to my grandmother its a fading art and not to may people can anymore.  Another thing I'm very excited for is our farmers just got 2 bee hives so fresh local honey soon.  Hope summer has treated everyone well.

Till next time,
