I have checked a few things off my life to-do list this year! I have always wanted to can peaches and to make home made salsa. I did both this summer with help of my fabulous Kecia!
I was thrilled with how easy the skins came off these peaches and they looked so pretty when they were canned I decided to use them as decoration!
Salsa was a different matter. I've never made it before, so it was kind of an adventure. I bought the basic ingrediants at the farmers market, to get the "really fresh" taste. (My tomatoes went in late, so they are not ready yet)
While wandering the farmers market a month ago, at the end of an amazing girls day out, we met a peach farmer who put our names on a pre-order list for amazing peaches for canning. I went a few weeks later and picked up our 3 boxes of peaches and she drove up from Provo to spend the day canning while Jake and Tyler "watched" her daughter Emma. We had a blast and it went so quick with two of us.

I don't have a food processor, so I hand chopped everything. I made 4 jars. We really are not big salsa people, I figured that would be plenty. Brian and the kids thought it was so good that we are down to 2 jars! I guess I'll get to use my tomatoes after all!
