You could expand the "business" and make salsa! mmmmmmmm.....

I'm going to have to make more room on my shelves for the spaghetti sauce.

LOL. Reminds me of my mother's shelves years ago when she canned everything. Always sending me downstairs to find stuff.

I use my trusty MTD Yardman snowblower up here, too, Rich.
10 HP.....
Remember, we usually get more snow than you do down in Mass.
My next venture this weekend will be to pick crab apples and make jelly out of them.
Then I'll have to turn my attention to Concord grape jelly, after that.
Just about the time canning season ends hunting season begins.
I'll be duck hunting in a couple of weeks........

Woody. It just doesnt get any better when you use a jar of something you canned from fresh vegetables. Spaghetti sauce is what we can the most but with the tomato blight this year we didnt get nearly as much. We usually get about 100 quart but this year only about 50. This photo is what we get from 1 bushel. We also can alot of venison, kraut, beans and hot mustard.

Yea, we had alot of late blight here, too. I lost all of my roma tomatoes that I usually use for canning.
I ended up getting a half bushel of tomatoes from a friend, who has a commercial garden, for free.
We ended up with 15 quarts, today.
Not too bad......

Your right, it doesn't get any better than that!!!!

In case you're wondering, we supplement the tomatoes with onions, green peppers, celery, tomato paste, italian spices,worcestershire sauce, and sugar.

We use half roma and half celebrity in each batch along with most of the ingredients you listed except the worcestershire sauce. That sounds interesting. can you taste it in the sauce? I have family and friends who lost all of their tomatos as well. We like to end up with enough to have 2 quarts a week but not this year, thats what good years past are for and oh yeah, a mother in law that cans more than we do helps!

I was curious about your recipe, Wood, but didn't want to ask! One thing I would really like to try my hand at is kumquat marmalade. It is absolutely delicious. I used to order it online as it is hard to find in the store. I wonder how difficult it would be to make. Don't laugh, but it goes well with chocolate cheescake.

You really can't taste the worcestershire sauce, sandman, once I add the venison hamburger to the sauce.
I was stuck and had to use what tomatoes were given to me.

Kumquat marmalade....... hmmm...... I'll have to look for a recipe for that, Laur.

Lobey, it's about 1 1/2 hour drive from Worcester to up here.
You better have left an hour ago...LOL!!!
