Here at StoneGable my canner will be put into good use this week! Lots of tomatoes, peppers, herbs, squash and eggplant. Hopefully, I will make this wonderful roasted eggplant, red pepper and garlic stack that is canned. It looks heavenly and sounds so very interesting. I am canning my tomatoes whole. That way I can use them in many different recipes.
This week's menu is such a mix of good eats! The reoccurring theme is TOMATOES. They are at their peak right now! Sweet and delicious and perfect tasting. Hope you make the most of your locally grown seasonal produce.
