Salsa Maker

Andrew has been my helper in the kitchen the last few weeks. I have loved spending the one on one time with him and he has loved learning some new things in the kitchen. He wanted to make his very own batch of salsa so he could make it as hot as he wanted. He chose to put 12 jalepenos in it,7 with all the seeds. He put all the tomatoes and peppers through the meat grinder and stirred the salsa until it was just the right thickness to can. He got about 12 quarts of salsa.

He loves using the giant spoon Grandpa made just for us last year. I tried to convince him the spoon would work better as a paddle but he didn't agree. Andrew will be giving his teachers a jar of his salsa for Christmas.

I am thankful to have a son who is creative, funny, helpful and kind!
