Homemade Bottled Spaghetti Sauce!

September 5, 2012cooking, Recipescanning, cooking, homemade bottled spaghetti sauce, homemade spaghetti sauce, onions, peppers, recipe, spaghetti sauce, spaghetti sauce recipe, tomatoesRita

I think that I am done with all of my canning for this year. I have done Blackberry Jam, Frozen corn, Spaghetti Sauce, and bottled peaches.

My favorite thing to have on hand is this wonderful spaghetti sauce. A lot of people bottle tomatoes and then add a dry mix later to make their sauce, but I love the taste of this already made spaghetti sauce with all those wonderful flavors cooked together for hours and blended together! I use this for spaghetti, of course, but also ravioli, tortellini, lasagna, and it makes a great pizza sauce! Continue reading →

My DIL brought this yummy dessert for dinner yesterday and she gave me permission to share it with you! It is sooo good with the fresh peaches in it and what a great way to celebrate the end of summer! I am still waiting for all of my peaches to ripen. My tree is loaded this year and I am excited for them to come on, but it is a race to see who can get the most when they do get ripe…me or all of the birds! I’ll have to make sure that I win that one. :)

So does anyone else want to make a fresh peach dessert?
