ChefBeckyD said:I think we will be doing steaks on the grill today - with FRESH green beans from my garden!!! YAHOO! My beans are coming in! And - I believe I will do some red potatoes with fresh herbs again....those were sooooo good! I get positively giddy when I start harvesting!
jrstephens said:I have been putting up green beans and squash in the freezer! I always thought you had to can green beans but my MIL told me how to put them in the freezer. I am so glad we got a bigger freezer this year b/c now I can put up stuff and have good vegetables later!
ChefBeckyD said:The only thing I can is tomatoes and salsa - everything else I freeze. We just like frozen better than canned.
merego said:Take out on the drive to Chicago woo-hoo
jrstephens said:Me too and it is so much easier. I freeze my tomatoes too.
I have never put up salsa before. How do u do it? Just mix and seal your jars? Do you boil your jars in a water bath or just the lids to seal? Can u share your recipe?
ChefBeckyD said:Jen, it's on my other computer that isn't working right now......I'll try to remember to post it when I get my computer working again!

ChefBeckyD said:Thanks Janet - I forgot that I had posted it for you!
jrstephens said:Thanks!! I need to make this. My Tomatoes are not doing as well as they did last year but my parents cannot give all away that they have.
I have been freezing my jalopenos, so, I have those too, YAHOO!!
One more thing Becky, do you do the water bath for the whole jar or just the seal? I know some things require a bath. I do strawberry fig preserves and just boil my seals.
jrstephens said:Drive and eat safely!!!
ChefBeckyD said:I do it for the whole jar.....my friend Nancy does just the seal though....but I'm a bit paranoid.
You can also freeze this salsa too. It's great both ways - I just run out of room in the freezer.
