Processing produce

'Tis the season... to bring the fruits in. The garlic braids found a cool, shady hallway...

I love the strawberries, small, juice, full of taste. I washed them and froze them on a tray before bagging them. This makes it easy to use them in smoothies!

...and the first batch of pizza sauce is in. I made a large stock pot (sauteed onions, tomatoes, salt and simmer), we filled snack-size bags, layed them on a tray to freeze, then filled gallon-size bags. I make homemade pizza often during the year and these have been the only sauce I have used for years!
