Jalapeno!

Woke up this morning and our early plans were disrupted due to my Suegra's blood pressure emergency, come to find out the ridiculous woman decided it was a good idea to skip her meds for a few days. Sheesh.

After all that, and finding out a home blood pressure machine is $100, everything settled down.

In the morning I started a pot of chili stew in the slow cooker with pork shoulder, poblanos from our garden, red potatoes, yellow onion, and carrots. The pot was emptied this evening, practically licked clean!

My suegra and I made jalapeno jelly, here she is gutting the jalapenos (all from our tin cans garden)

Beautiful sterile jars

 sterilizing lids

 ready to be submerged

after 10 minutes boiling away and then being set out to cool

Finished product!

The suction happened almost imediately after they were taken out of the water. How fun and easy, hopefully we did them right, cleaning the ribs and seeds out of the jalapenos was the most time consuming, there was a little left in the pan that we all tasted and it was JUMMY!!

Oh here is a blurry picture of the white baby someone took with the camera today

She is so puuuurdy!
