A good weekend: tomato sauce, dried tomatoes, sour pickles, dilly beans, pesto, tomatillo salsa. And enough time for a hike in the woods, where we picked chanterelles... enough to saute in butter, simmer in cream, and pile atop some polenta.

Bet you were tired out by Sunday! Our tomatillos are very pokey this year.
Goodness! Lots of yummy goodness! Our tomatillos aren't quite ready yet, but salsa verde is definitely on my list of things to make again this summer, along with our zucchini pickles too! Those tomatoes look fabulous...I'm a little jealous! :)
Yum! No chanterelles yet in Shohola, but maybe soon...
Wow! We've just been dehydrating our extra tomatoes, enough to fill up one whole little jar so far! Did you bake your tomato sauce? You're going to have to tell us how you did that.
We roast the tomatoes with a little olive oil and garlic and salt. Last year I put a lot of extra garlic and herbs in, too, and then after roasting blended it all up with the hand blender and froze in mason jars... But we ended up with too much Italian-style sauce, and not enough plain good carmelly-roasted tomatoes for salsas/enchilada sauces/etc. So this year, going with a simpler preparation.
