I knew from the beginning of summer that I would not be able to participate in the “Every Bit Counts Challenge” due to being in Florida for the first two weeks. However I am so excited to report that after arriving back home on Wednesday, I have been able to make and can 10 quarts and 2 pints of spaghetti sauce as well as we enjoy a meal with the sauce.

On Friday, I purchased a case of canning tomatoes from the local farm stand.  Saturday, I spent about 6 hours along with some help from Matt making salsa. I successfully canned 36 pints and 1 quart of salsa. I also have 2 quarts of salsa in the fridge as well. I am hopefully that this is going to be a years supply.   Depending on how busy I get I may try to do at least the same amount again but I need to get my years supply of spaghetti sauce first!

I am so excited for the small steps that I have been able to make this week!
