We are making steady progress on the siding, doing a bit of it at a time. Tim put in the two last attic ventilation windows. We ordered the siding for the other half of the house.
I made tomato sauce on Sunday. I dehydrated the skins. I also dehydrated summer squash and zucchini. Something new, and the more I read about it, I think I will be experimenting with that quite a bit more. The oven makes that easy. I can do large batches. I also want to try drying tomatoes to store in olive oil.
I made pickles this afternoon. Something I haven't done in years. I forgot the satisfaction of hearing jars pinging.
Interesting about making tomato juice..and dehydrating the skins?
ReplyDeleteI put the tomatoes in a hot bath and remove the skins. I read about putting the skins on baking sheets and dehydrating them. Once dried, store them in a jar like any dehydrated vegetable and add them to vegetable soups for flavor. I have never thought to do that before but decided to try it.
DeleteHope you are feeling better soon, it's a busy time with harvesting and preserving.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy despite your cold. Hope you are feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteHope it doesn't linger in your sinuses. Sounds like you are doing well putting things down for winter. My tomatoes had tough skins this year because it's been so hot they got a bit dehydrated, despite daily watering.
