Is this the '07 salsa?

This weekend we're up in Greenville, Pennsylvania with Beth's family. We didn't plan for this weekend to be salsa weekend, but it became it! It's actually been two years since the last batch. While the 2006 tomato harvest didn't give us enough good tomatoes for the famous Meyer family salsa, 2007 crept up on us unexpectedly. The local tomato harvest was good, and when Fanny, the Amish cleaning lady, showed up yesterday with huge bushels of perfect tomatoes, the 2007 batch was born.

All the other ingredients fell into place, such as jars...

...and garlic.
We chopped the onions and peppers the night before. We had to set up fans in the kitchen because of all the onion vapors.
Blanching the tomatoes...
Peeling and chopping the tomatoes...
...until we have buckets of them!
Boiling (these are only 4 of the 6 total pots we made).
Canning in progress...
And the final product! The total came out to about 60 quarts of salsa. The 8 jars at the far end of the line are quarts of tomato juice. We filtered and boiled all the juice we collected from chopping, and saved it for future soups, etc.
Oh, and THEN we started on the chutney...

We'll let you know how the '07 batch turns out!
