What Do You Do With All Your Great Garden Veggies?
I love this time of year when gardens come in fast and furious. My dad has always planted a large and amazing garden.
Dad has always been a tremendous gardener. His plots are large and prolific. And lucky for me he is very generous with the garden's bounty.
Recently I visited my mom & dad's house in rural Northeastern Iowa and they loaded me up with all sorts of tomatoes, onions, potatoes, beans, and 4 kinds of peppers.
I am always looking for new ways to preserve veggies. I don't care for canning so I am limited to drying and freezing.
This year I diced and mixed up 4 kinds of peppers: Banana, Jalapeno, Bell, & Chili. I put the mixed up peppers in a large gallon bag, flatten the bag out in the freezer, and then just break of a chunk when I need some.
On a snowy winter day this mixture adds a delicious taste of summer hotness in soups, eggs, casseroles, and other dishes.
Now I have a bunch of tomatoes to put up for winter. Keeping in mind I don't can, do you have any tips as to what I can do with them?
