Summer Harvest

One large bushel of Roma tomatoes. Why yes, the pregnant girl thought bringing home this many would be a great idea.

This was the stage, that the pregnant girl with the sprained ankle had to use the garage stool to sit and peel tomatoes.

Homemade tomato sauce!

My first batch of cucumbers to pickles. Didn't have a lot, this year hasn't been a great one for cukes.

So a few were sliced up and pickled and put away.

Then the garden center called and said they had a half bushel, or close to, and would I want it? But of course and the cycle started all over again. Lots of great dill pickles, that should last us until at least the winter. laugh.

And with the remaining tomatoes I made homemade Ketchup. Now with one little babe who loves to dip dip, I cringe to think how much sugar is in all those Heinz bottles. Now I don't feel bad when she douses everything in it. It has very little sugar, I actually didn't put even half of what the recipe called for. And the bonus, it actually tastes like ketchup. A little runnier, but still pretty decent. No complaints from my little babe, or the bigger babe, who also douses things in ketchup.
