This week's harvest was all about the tomatoes and beans. I got about five pounds of beans in the freezer, and most of the tomatoes canned. My youngest son did get a good sized bag of green beans, quite a few tomatoes, all of the crookneck squash, a few zucchinis and a butternut squash.
We had our first butternut squash of the year for Sunday's dinner, baked with butter and brown sugar, and served with breaded pork cutlets, broccoli sauteed with fresh garlic, and slice Brandywine tomatoes.
Saturday's kitchen mess ended up with 12 pints of tomato sauce canned. Talk about a long process! I started cooking the tomatoes in the morning, after breakfast, and had two crockpots and my soup pot full of sauce still simmering away until nearly 11 that night. By the time I got the last five jars out of the canner, it was past midnight!
