I got this jar of homemade peach salsa from
Don today! Isn't it beautiful?
I worked an auction and arrived home today to find it waiting
for me on the front porch. Of course I had to dive right into
it with some tortilla chips! Oh my! So yummy.
One of the best salsas I have ever tasted!
Hot and spicy, just like I prefer it, too!
Mexican food is my all time favorite!
Don was almost solely responsible for encouraging me to take my
photography to the next level. I didn't even know him a few years
ago and he sent me an email saying he enjoyed my blog and
photography and just encouraged me to keep at it. So, I did!
I thought I would have some fun and thank him
by giving his salsa a proper photo shoot. ha.
So, thanks for the encouragement, Don, and for your friendship...
and of course for the delicious jar of salsa!
It photographs very well!
Since it came from Georgia, it just had to have peaches in it, right?
If you haven't visited Don's blog, you really should!
He has an unbelievable garden and since Georgia is like summer
for three quarters of the year, he's eating the fruits of his
labor while Ohio still has snow on the ground. haha.
Thanks, Don!
Do I have to share with the men?
I might let them have a little taste, I guess.
♥
Tasty! I must look up a recipe. Enjoy yourself but don't eat it all at once.
ReplyDeleteWhy not? ha.
DeleteIt looks delicious and you're right...it does photo well. That was awful sweet of Don to share his garden fare with you. Hey Don, I live in SC. We're neighbors..hint, hint!
ReplyDeleteYes, he is sweet...and let's see if he reads your hint! ha.
DeleteYes, I read the comment, and yes, I got Laurie's hints....we'll seeeeeeee........
DeleteLooks delicious!
ReplyDeleteSuper yummy. I might have to add some peaches to mine!
DeleteAs they say....Pretty as a picture ~ and it is. I can't have spicy, but I think I'd try just because it look so so good. I went over and visited Don and saw his his shelling black eyed peas...I like them already. haHa
ReplyDeleteMeant to say saw his "wife" shelling the peas
DeleteI think that was Don shelling peas and his wife cutting squash. They cook together...something the mister and I have never done! lol....
DeleteI loved those purple peas...so pretty!
My Mister....and I have never cooked together...In fact my dearest would have to google to find the kitchen. HaHa
Deletehaha...my mister offers to make dinner occasionally on the weekend but I've started to decline since it's ...well...not really that tasty. lol....He does, however, do the dishes...which is very nice. :)
DeleteWell, just for the record, we don't actually cook TOGETHER for the most part. It seems since I retired, my volunteering to prepare breakfast every morning became a steady job. And we usually just "throw things together" for lunches, so not much cooking there. And SHE prepares the evening meals while I'm delivering our great grandson back to his mommy's house. But yes, I CAN cook, and I do "help" her if needed...especially at special events like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
DeleteBreakfast every morning? I could get used to that. ha. Maybe I should have said you two freeze and can together?...which actually looks fun to me. And one person couldn't do it all with your big garden!
DeleteWhat a fabulous treat to find . . . 'donned' on your porch . . . Well done Don . . . :)
ReplyDeleteMost definitely fabulous! :)
DeleteThat sounds like the perfect treat
ReplyDeleteFor you to find when turning off the street
And 3 seasons with no snow
Works for my show
You could grow your own spinach and raise some chickens
DeleteOrlin and Cass, their chops would be lickin'
Cross the border and head south
Might do you some good, you and your rhyming mouth. lol....
Me and my rhyming mouth would get shot
DeleteThey like their guns a lot lol
That they do,
Deletebut the north does, too! ha.
WE all need a "Don" in our lives.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found yours!
(he, Don, got a brother?)
I think he has more than one! ha.
DeleteYes, Christine, I do! THREE of them to be exact. Youngest one is married---the two middle ones (I'm the oldest) are single, and old, and cranky! One lives off in the woods in a cabin by himself...hardly ever comes around. LOL...
DeleteHmm...Christine, it doesn't sound like the cranky ones will be wanting to send salsa to anyone. lol....
DeleteEkkk... it was just a thought...haha
DeleteDarn good looking salsa, though.
I'm still laughing at this whole comment section...lol....
DeletePeach Salsa is some fantastic stuff! Lucky you!!!
ReplyDeleteSo good...and it's pretty, too! Loved the jar...
DeleteOH MY!!! What an honor!! Hahahaha.... I was primarily worried about it arriving intact, and not with a cracked jar!! So to know it did, and that you have totally dedicated one of your daily writings to it, is way more than expected. And I had no doubt you would find it tasty!! And it becomes downright habit-forming if you're not careful. Now let that party begin!
ReplyDeleteHabit forming...haha...well, I may or may not have already eaten about 1/3 of the jar. You packaged it very well! It wasn't going to move inside that box! :)
DeleteI got so excited reading your blog and all the comments that I forgot to tell you that you did an excellent job with the camera!! And you're right.... all those colors sparkled. Great job!!!
DeleteIt does look really pretty, I think! Very fun to do! :)
DeleteIt looks wonderful. I am too hooked on sugar to not put it on peaches though. I bet it does work great though with all the spices and the other ingredients.
ReplyDeleteA sweet tooth, huh? Me, too.... but I like savory, too. No sugar on these peaches...they were hot and spicy!
DeleteWhat a wonderful thing to find in the mail! I've never heard of peach salsa but I know I'd like it. Nice job Don!
ReplyDeleteI guess it just hasn't made it's way up to us in the north! :)
DeleteWhat a treat! Don, it looks delicious. How kind of you.
ReplyDeleteI love peach salsa and used to can with a friend of mine many years ago. A lot of work and somehow we would inevitably pick the hottest day of the year! But it was worth it.
Oh... and it looks great on the blue and white!
DeleteIt's tradition to can things on the hottest day of the year...haha...been there, done that....
DeleteHi Betsy .. looks positively delicious and I love that Don brought a jar over, and that he's encouraged you to keep photographing ... recognising your talent ... and your homebody self. Wonderful ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIf Don had hand delivered that jar, I would have fainted. lol.... Actually, he sent it in the mail. And yes, I'm a homebody self. ..love that term. :)
DeleteThis looks, delicious. I should remind myself not to look at your blog when I'm hungry. Ill check out Don's blog too!
