I will celebrate the last batch of peaches for the freezer by tackling that big box of tomatoes waiting their turn.
On my way out to the storage shed to get the canning jars, I was sure I could already smell Fall. It's still deep August for heaven's sake...where did the usual "dog days" heat go this year? Normally we have at least two weeks of stupifying heat about this time of year. It's been hot, but it surely hasn't been "dog days" hot here.
Tomatoes!! Remind me to plant even more basil next year!!

When I get time, I will write out my recipe. This makes really nice bread without taking all day to do it.
Tomorrow I have black grapes to put up! They were just a little tart for snacking on, so we'll have some very good jam. I would love to get more fresh tomatoes to put up as well, with basil, thyme and oregano from the herb garden. It's just so good!
