Homemade Tomato Sauce – Is it worth it?
I can’t say I actually “like” homesteading, although I believe it is the way to go with the world as it is today. I tend to be on the slightly lazy side and lets be honest, homesteading is hard work! I try my best and my hubby loves it when I am in the kitchen canning and blanching, juicing and chopping, slicing and dicing. But if I were to just be blatantly honest… my modern woman laziness influences my mindset fairly often.
For example, I canned my own straight-from-the-garden homemade tomato sauce! But I can’t help but to think, “I could have grabbed a can off the shelf at the grocery store in all of 5 seconds!”
So let’s think about all the work that goes into making these beautiful red luscious juicy tomatoes into a jar of sauce.
Blackberry Jelly

We picked an abundance of blackberries a year ago and at the time, I did not want to mess with making jelly! So I washed them, bagged them and froze them… and forgot about them. That is of course until our freezer went out and I HAD to remember them! Thankfully I “caught” the freezer going out and the berries were just beginning to thaw so I put them in the fridge, where I procrastinated about making jelly for another week. Jelly isn’t hard to make, it is just … I am messy and lazy most of the time so I just didn’t FEEL like dealing with it.
Well it was a nice soggy summer day in East Texas and not a whole lot else to do inside, so I finally “cowgirled up” and tackled my jelly making, well at least the juicing part of it!
