Bountiful Harvest

I believe we have officially wrapped up our garden harvest. Here is how the season ended:

- 2 dzn pints spaghetti sauce
-19 pints salsa
-13 pints tomato soup
-12 pints of pizza sauce
-10 quarts pickles (cucumbers courtesy of Paul's parents)

We figured that we used about 100 lbs of tomatoes. Most of the ingredients also came from our harvest such as: onions, jalapenos, green peppers, garlic, dill. We played around with the cucumbers and tried at least 4 different recipes. We also made two varieties of pizza sauce. In the process I acquired a handy kitchen tool. I'm the proud owner of an immersion blender. It's turned out to be a very good investment and fun to use. :)

It was a tough battle against the slugs, but I don't think we did too shabby!
