garden products!!






The first picture is of the tomatilloes we grew. I took the fine paper covering off, washed and quartered them and mixed them with onions, chopped garlic, cilantro, chopped roasted Anaheim chiles and tossed everything with some olive oil. I then baked in 450 degree oven for an hour tossing again after a 1/2 hour. When done cool and then I blended them with my stick blender poured into jars and then canned them with my pressure cooker for 15 minutes. This sauce is great when making chili verde pour - over pork in a crockpot and cook on low for the day. I also use this sauce when I make enchiladas 
The next picture is of my roasted tomatoes - I did the same thing here cut up tomatoes, peppers onions and garlic mixed with oregano and basal from my herb garden and some olive oil roast at 450 for an hour. Then I filled jars and pressure cooked for 15 minutes at 11 psi
The third picture is of my tomato sauce - I cut the tomatoes in half and squeezed out the seeds then blended them in my food processor in batches. I then transferred the tomatoes to a large stock pot and simmered a few hours then used my stick blender to puree them even more for a nice smooth tomato sauce then I filled the clean hot jars (use  your dishwasher) sealed and pressure cooked for 15 minutes at 11 psi. I use this in everything - stews, soups, meatloaf
