Week 13, 2010
We are having another hot week, it is in the 90's again. We were hoping for a cool fall but are feeling like we are back in July again. The hot weather is great for tomatoes and peppers. It is time for putting up tomatoes and other veggies for the winter. The Italia sweet peppers in the share this week freeze really well. We just chop the up into pieces and place in a freezer bag. It is great to have the sweet pepper taste in winter pasta dishes and soup.
My favorite way to put up tomatoes is to slice them up and roast them in olive oil with 
some salt & pepper. Then I pack the roasted tomatoes in a freezer bag and freeze them for winter sauces and soups.
