I have several Halloween orders to work on right now, but I wanted to share how much I love my new-to-me food mill. I cooked up some tomato juice this weekend after pulling up all of my tomato plants. I'm not even sure this garage sale find is called a food mill, but it did the same job. It was easier and cleaner and I'm not worried that someone will eat a spring. Someone will be eating the spring from the broken food mill. To the best of my knowledge it's in a jar of applesauce. This was a quarter well spent!
On a side note: I pulled all the tomato plants, I was neglecting them. There were bunches of red, bunches of green. I picked every single one. The red ones are the sweetest sweetest tomatoes ever. Could the cold night temperatures have done it? It taste like I added sugar to the tomato juice. I'm attempting to dry some this week. They should make for some great sun dried oven dried tomatoes.
Good buy. I told Aunt Sue to e-mail her recipe for green tomato relish. She made a lot this weekend. She made mine special with Splenda. I am looking forward to using it on my hot dogs. George & Joyce eat it like salsa with chips.
ReplyDeleteHmm I should think about a food mill for next year's canning. I thought I made my friend sick with my canned food. She had to go to the hospital with agonizing stomch pains that they still can't determine the source of. I had just given her a jar of each thing I canned. No one has tried any yet. I was sure it was what was killing her. She hadn't even opened them yet. THANK GOD!!!
