Harvest from the Farm

We woke to a white world this morning...our first big snow. To say official goodbye to fall, I've pulled out my photos from our last harvest at the Farm.

As part of our commitment to eating local, I went to the farm (Vermont Valley)to pick basil and tomatoes.

With the tomatoes I tried canning: our famous Nell's chili sauce, spagetti sauce from Animal Vegetable Miracle and salsa ( which Mark has decided adds just the right heat for football chili)

I made the basil into pesto which we freeze in spoonfuls on cookie sheets and then store in plastic bags. Pesto with corn is one of our favorite winter dishes.
