Go check out the Cornerstone Bistro! They have amazing homemade food - much of it sourced from local farmers! We couldn't be happier to supply them with some tomatoes from our farm and enjoyed stopping in for a bite to eat too! πŸ˜‹

9 pints of cherry tomato salsa
9 pints of sweet relish
2 apple pies

A productive Sunday after spending Saturday at the lake.

Finally found a good relish recipe! Super excited about that, and of course apple pie for dessert tonight! πŸ˜‹

Unfortunately a bear got most of our apples, but we had enough left for two pies, so we'll be savoring these for sure!!

Cherry tomato salsa is our favorite! πŸ… πŸ˜‹

It's a less pasty than regular salsa and reminds me more of a fresh salsa even through it's canned. Some may prefer the thicker traditional salsa but we love this recipe! Have been making it exclusively for the past three years!

We just finished the last pint from last year, so we were super stoked to be able to make our first batch from this year's harvest last weekend!

And looks like we'll be making some more soon!!!
