Every little bit helps the food bill, though.<br /><br />Garrett, we might have to trade; sheep for food? ;-)<br /><br />Susan, here the recipe as I received it, and what I actually use in parentheses:<br /><br />5 qts pureed tomatoes (I don't usually peel them)<br />1 onion, pureed<br />3 stalks celery, chopped and pureed (1 t. celery seed)<br />1 c. butter (2/3 c. oil)<br />1 1/2 c. flour (2 c. flour)<br />3/4 c. sugar (evaporated cane juice)<br />1/4 c. salt<br />1 T. garlic powder<br /><br />Make a roue with oil and flour, then add all other ingredients. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Pour into clean, hot jars and water-bath process (10 minutes for pints; 20 minutes for quarts). Makes five quarts with a bit left over for lunch!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-19599140058031625482013-09-11T10:34:29.892-07:002013-09-11T10:34:29.892-07:00I love the idea of canning my own condensed tomato...I love the idea of canning my own condensed tomato soup (my favorite thing on a cold winter day), but have never found a recipe that I liked. Can you share yours? I love the sheep pics. I have been taking the time every day to do as much sheepie scritching as I can squeeze in. It makes everyone happy, including me.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-21950881621003647252013-09-11T07:57:27.300-07:002013-09-11T07:57:27.300-07:00Can I just put in an order for canned and frozen f...Can I just put in an order for canned and frozen foods from you?
