Hot Peppers and Winter Prep

I finally found some habanero peppers, so another batch of hot sauce was canned. 


I used my own serrano and jalapeno peppers for this batch. I got exactly 4 - 4 oz. jars this time, and boy is it hotPersonally, hubby and I much prefer the first batch using cherry bomb (hot, but not burn-your-mouth-off hot).  It's all up to your taste I guess.

Did I share the recipe (BHG) link?  Triple Pepper Hot Sauce




I put more dandelions on the freezer.  I am pretty sure we'll be well stocked with greens, but I have another list that needs filled before the snow even thinks about falling.   


The barn cats are eating up a storm.  I am taking this as a warning to prepare for a bad winter.  They are already trying to fatten up. 

Today?  It's another day with tomatoes.   And the next day too.

Good on you for the dandelions. They are a prized dish here but didnt think anyone outside Europe really ate them. They drink the dandelion vegetable water as well.

you sure have been busy.
I have not done any canning this year. We have a house we are trying to get ready for the market, so until then I don't see to have time for anything else.
I hope next year is a better year.
Happy Canning :)

What are you going to do when your tomatoes are all canned? I bet it won't be sitting on your porch, relaxing. I really love hot stuff, but I can't take too much heat anymore.

You can have your hot sauce but I'll take some of those tomatoes! LOL!
local alien, thanks for visiting my blog. Yes, we drink the tea here too, as well as eat them. I also bake a bread using the petals, as well as make jelly. All very good, but the jelly is much work.
Oh Sandra, I bet you are busy. Getting a house ready is so time consuming, along with raising animals. Take care!
Susan, I have a feeling I will be making some jellies when the tomatoes are done. And peach jam. Hubby is a "hot pepper" guy, so the hot sauce was for him, and a few recipes I use it for.
Sam I Am, I am totally amazed at this year's crop of tomatoes.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
