its been a while
but i have a good excuse
i have been elbow deep in tomatoes & end of summer goodness from the garden
this time of year you will find me in the kitchen canning summer's bounty to enjoy all winter long
nothing beats opening a jar of salsa in the middle of winter ...or sauce, jam, pickles
and savouring the tastes of summer
a few steam burns on the knuckles and scalding water down leg (apparently i did not learn my lesson from canning strawberry jam) is a small price to pay for a ticket back to summer when i need it most - in the middle of a new england winter
being able to preserve summers bounty, in my book is priceless
sometimes i'm strange
other times i'm pretty normal
this salsa is borderline - some think it is genius, others look at me like i've gone mad
beets make this salsa a really pretty shade of magenta
- which for the record is my favourite crayola crayon
beets, blueberry balsamic vinegar, tomatoes, peppers & onion make the base of this salsa
justin, who could not stand beets liked this salsa
they are pretty sly, almost like a wedding crasher who actually pulls off being uncle roys cousin
see the thing about beets - they turn everything magenta
your hands.....cutting board....kitchen towels.....your white cabinets
but don't let that deter you from trying this recipe out- it is a great way to use those beets that are arriving in your fall csa's by the bunches
this picture pretty much confirms the fact that i do not use nearly as much hand lotion as i should
