Homemade Salsa

I LOVE homemade salsa. You just can't compare homemade to store bought. I was so excited to go to Benton's dads house to make it this year. Last year I didn't make it, so I was ready to make it again. It is a process, but it is well worth it! Thankfully Marie and Dave let me use their wonderful work space in their basement to can the salsa. And it's so nice to have Marie's help, rather than just me, it's much faster that way.

All of the chopping took us an hour, so once it was all stirred up, it was ready to sit on the stove to reduce...

As you can see, I'm thrilled to have homemade salsa again :)

While it was reducing, Miss Cambree was spoiled by her grandparents. They pretty much would let her get away with anything. She LOVES to sit on grandpa's lap and eat M&M's...

Thanks Dave and Marie for all your help and letting us hang out with you all day!

My goodness you sure have been busy in the kitchen. I am not much of a salsa eater but homemade jam is the absolute best. I made some this year and Carson practically drinks the stuff. He recently went through one container almost on his own in two weeks. The kid is crazy. So fun that you and stef had a sleepover, must have been so much fun.
