A documentation of my preservation and preparation of local foods as I work through the seasons. This will serve as a reference tool for me in the future and as a sharing guide for family and friends...and anyone else interested. Hopefully, I can offer some useful methods, tips and recipes to share with everyone--be they novice or pro--and encourage them to join me in the exciting world of preserving and cooking with local foods.

Stewed Tomatoes

This is one of my favorite side dishes to complement a Winter supper. 
I serve it with homemade croutons to soak up the juice--mmmm!

I love my canning recipe; here it is for making 18 pints, (but it can easily be halved for 9 pints):
50 medium tomatoes
1/2 cup diced celery
2/3 cup diced carrot
1 cup diced bell pepper
2 cups diced onion
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup sugar
**Optional:  I add 2 cups of broth (any kind) so I have extra juice for the croutons to soak up.  This year I used one cup each of corn broth and  mushroom broth with delicious results.
Can in pressure canner at 10 pounds of pressure for 15 minutes.
