Tomatillo Sauce

We have a delicious recipe for a Tomatillo sauce, that goes with another recipe for Chicken Flautas. Which are also delicious! We decided that we should grow Tomatillos and can the sauce. Last year our plants did not produce well, we maybe got around 6-8 pints of finished canned sauce. This year tho was a different story! We canned yesterday THIRTY TWO PINTS of sauce. YAY!!! We are so excited that they all sealed and no broken bottles.

The day was not without its mishaps tho. I sliced my finger on the our Kitchenaid Mandoline about 3 minutes into the process. Yeah that hurt...but NOTHING like missing the funnel into the jar and pouring a scoop of boiling hot tomatillo sauce on Kevin wrist. It burned him good. I felt so horrible. I cried...a few times. I couldn't stop looking at it last night. I still feel horrible.

The stinkin awesome slicer that sliced my finger tip.
Note to everyone....ALWAYS use the hand guard provided!

The OLD STOVE we use to can on.
Works fine...its just slow...and uses alot of little bottles of propane.

In the red bowl is the Extra sauce waiting to go into
the silver pot out on the stove.
