Food Year's Resolution #1

My first accomplishment? Jarring my own tomato sauce! My friend, C, has done it before, so I invited her over for moral support (and wine, loads of wine!) Believe it or not, this is not as overwhelming as it might seem...

Here's what we purchased at the farmer's market, loads of organic tomatoes and sweet basil.



This tomato was just too cute to eat!




Smush, smush, smush.




Stirring loads of garlic! (Can't have enough garlic.)




The sauce simmers....




Then we sealed the jars in boiling water.




Look how pretty they are! Counting down the days until January when I can eat them!








But first, dinner for me and C!
