So much going on over here at Bejeweled....
not much sewing but some.
A friend gave me some tomatoes and so I decided to can them....oh my gosh.
I so love to can.
But I hate tomatoes and truly hated smelling them, almost lost my cookies a few times
Have I told you how I hate tomatoes???
Truly hate them. I will eat spaghetti sauce, ketchup but if they have chunks in them.....
just can't do it.
Then I purchased some peaches
I could can ever day.....
made some jelly
What to can now???
I am working on an Island Batik project for August
here is a sneak peak.... using the fabric line "Lavish" and some
Desert Rose.
I have actually purchased some Island Batik fabric but purchased it online but maybe you are luckier than I am and can find a place to purchase your own by using Island Batik store locator.
i can't imagine not liking tomatoes. But I know some people really can't stand them. I love canning preserves. I am going to try some low sugar ones this year when the figs start getting ripe.
ReplyDeleteThe peek at your project looks great.
Totally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love canning too and just saw a recipe for watermelon jelly that I really want to try!
Lovely peek at your sewing project! I never heard of someone hating tomatoes. I'll take them, lol!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't can something that I didn't like. Really. I used to love to can. Pickles and I loved putting up apple pie mixture in quart jars; ready to just pour in a crust and go for it.
ReplyDeleteHa! I did strawberry jam with the granddaughters today, but am working on the peaches this week. The tomatoes aren't enough to can yet. I love doing it too.
ReplyDeleteI used to can, but not anymore. The older I get, the less time I want to spend in the kitchen! Looking forward to seeing your latest Island Batik project in August!
ReplyDeleteI love tomatoes but my stomach no longer tolerates them. Canning them must have been near impossible for you even with fans blowing and all the windows open. We each have a smell we can't stand.
ReplyDeleteYour Island Batik projects are always so bright and fun.
What yummy fun. Love your sneak peek. Your canned tomatoes remind me of being a young girl. My grandmother always canned tomatoes and I can remember even in the winter that she could prepare a yummy meal that tasted like summer.
