Final Salsa Harvest for 2009

Well, it's time to draw the 2009 season to a close here at Karen's Side Street Salsa. It's been a good year with three batches from the salsa patch. While the cooler summer wasn't necessarily the best for tomatoes, the expanded garden still came through with the volume we needed. The peppers did really well. Here are some snapshots of this morning's harvest by Karen. Later this evening we'll fire up the stove and run these delicious raw materials through the salsa kitchen, can 'em up, and put them on the shelves to rest in the Salsa Vault.
