Well there it is...a big pot of salsa...one of two my friend Cindy and I made today in my kitchen. We alternate years at each others house but have missed the last few years related to traveling. We started with a bushel of tomatoes and added onions, garlic, hot peppers and spices to make our secret mix. Two big pots...one mild and the other hot hot hot. 
We did the easy canning by filling hot jars with hot salsa and putting hot tops and caps on and then turning them upside down to make the tops seal. It works really well which is what I am doing in the picture above
Cindy is filling the jars as they are hot out of the oven. We talked, laughed and had a great time together catching up on our lives. I have know Cindy since our kids were in kindergarten. 
Extra salsa pot picture just to impress all of you! The picture below is the finished product. My apron says Hot Salsa Mama's and we made 66 jars of various sizes of salsa...our biggest year ever. Lots of great gifts so watch out!! Mike went to Lansing today to meet with the Lt Governor and discuss the cigar tax issue. He is home and exhausted with all that talking...hard to believe! Weather is beautiful...70's today and sunny and the rest of the week is to be the same. Love and hugs Kathy and Mike
Looks like fun you spicy women.
