The garden finally started putting out enough tomatoes that I could put up a decent canner load of my base sauce. A simple recipe of 11 pounds of skinned tomatoes, 2 really big sweet onions and 3 heaping soup spoons of minced garlic.
Those are about 1/2 inch in diameter. I bought two plants from the nursery, one “jalapeño” and one “jumbo jalapeño”. As it turns out, the jumbos are regular size and these ‘regular’ ones are tiny. But they do not lack any heat!
