Last of my canning from 2017 tomatoes. This one is my favorite Texas BBQ sauce. I previously froze raw sauce i made and then I canned it into various sauces-spaghetti, marinara, puttenesca, penne alla vodka and this BBQ sauce.
This year I tried growing artichokes and was surprised they grew so well. The plant itself is gorgeous in the garden and the chokes are a bonus.
Here is my beautiful Bella Rosa, an African dwarf goat- love the pearly white smile.
