Black Pepper Stir Fry ~Friday Foods

Hi Sweet Friends,

Today we canned Stewed Tomatoes for the Winter. This is a recipe we threw together just as a frost hit the garden. This is a Boiling Water Canning Recipe that takes 10 minutes to process.

 Makes 4Quarts & 1 pint, or 9pints. (I put any left over in the fridge for quick use. Great in Chili, Salsa, Spaghetti, Lasagna, Mac N Cheese, as a side dish, soup, stew, and other ideas.

Ingredients:     
8 Cup chopped tomatoes (I used a combo of Better Boy, Early Girl, Sweet Roma, and Cherry Whoppers)

4 Cup chopped bell peppers, any color or mixed (I used a combo of Green & Black Bells)

1small jar dried onions, 1 cup (I dry my own onion slices and chop them up when dried)

1Tbs. minced garlic, about 2 cloves

1 Cup dried celery (I use Augason Farms Dehydrated Celery)

1 Quart Tomato Juice (I had some canned tomato juice left from last years canning) Clear liquid skimmed and save in freezer bag for soup later!

1/4tsp. canning salt

Directions: 
Put all the ingredients in a large sauce pan, except the canning salt, and bring to rolling boil and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat, with a screen pan cover on the pot. Stir to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pan. (If you have pieces of dried veggie not quite soft, add an extra 5-10 minutes of cooking) The liquid will be absorbed by the dried veggies and there is not much rendering required. A very good energy saver!

Remove pot from heat, and ladle into hot/sterile Quart or Pint jars. Wipe the jar edges with a damp cloth and place hot seal onto jar. Add jar ring and twist to secure, but not over tight! Place jars on the rack in the boiling bath canner. Bring water to rolling boil, cover pot, set timer for 10 minutes and process. 

When done, remove jars with jar lifter and place on cooling rack. Let set till all jar lid seals have popped. I leave my jars set till cooled, then I place them in the cold room to store.

Enjoy!
