I am so inspired by having the garden set, that I visited the local farmer's market. My husband requested some homemade spaghetti sauce. So, thankfully, I recorded most of my recipe on my blog. Here it is. I would say that I used approx 1 Tbl of the spices mentioned since I left of that important bit of information.
I bought several pounds of tomatoes. I took the skins off.
And then began the process of cooking it down. I'm sorry I don't have a good picture of that process. The link has a great photo though. I ended up with 2 quarts of sauce. LOT of work for 2 quarts but flavor makes it sooooo worth it.

Since everything was already out and I had a nice massive pot of boiling water on the stove top, I went ahead and used the 2 of 3 pints of strawberries in the garage frig to make some strawberry jam. Everyone keeps Certo in the pantry, right?? LOL
I was super happy that I had several pounds of sugar leftover from Christmas and plenty of lids and rings in storage.
So, in all, 4 cups of strawberries made 3 pints and 2 small jelly jars worth of jam. I'm going to give away a jar to a friend. I love sharing with those who appreciate this lost art.
We had a near freeze last Thursday night and yet today, we reached 80 degrees and I've got all this heat going on in the kitchen. I didn't think that one through. Ha ha.
Have a blessed day!
Robin
