Yellow Tomato Preserves

This is a recipe past down through my DH family...about 15 years ago when Tony's Aunt Elizabeth shared this recipe I really was not sure if it would be worth the time. To my surprise it is very delish.

Yellow Tomato Preserves

3 cups of yellow tomatoes (chopped)
4 cups of sugar
2 tablespoons of lemon juice


Mix the 3 ingredients together in a heavy saucepan.
Cook over medium heat....bring to a boil and cook approx. 35-45 min. This is always the hardest part for me...sometimes it needs to cook a little longer.To check if it is the right consistency spoon 2 tablespoons into a saucer and place in freezer...continue doing so until it looks right for you.

Pour into jars.... your finished .... no processing time.
It taste good on biscuits and toast. If anyone has made this before...please share if there are other ways to incorporate it in other recipes.

Have A Great Day!

KY Deaf Festival

As many of you know my daughter is majoring in an Interpretive Training Program for the Deaf.

When Jessica was 13 she attended church camp and a Deaf Mission just so happened to be there that week and this opened her eyes to a whole new world...becoming an interpreter has become her passion in life.

On Friday night our DD came home from college. Saturday afternoon my mom, DD and I attended the Kentucky Deaf Festival in Louisville. It was really an eye opening experience for me...I realize how my cousin felt all those years at family gatherings when we were all talking to fast for him to keep up with us. Walking into the convention center and the silent communication going on around me was so amazing.

In the picture above Jessica (standing in a pink shirt) is communicating with a professor (the lady sitting and wearing glasses)she had for the past 2 years.

Jessica seemed to be in her comfort zone while there...she saw many of her past classmates, professors, people she has met at Deaf events, and we also saw my cousin (he looked so happy to be among those friends he had not seen for some time). Jessica told me she now feels as though she has been accepted into the Deaf Community so many of the people she has met in the past came up and hugged her. To my understanding...it takes time to be welcomed and trusted.


This was a preformance of Around the World in 80 Days...including audience participation.


I found it very interesting to watch and the picture below allowed those of us not deaf to know what is being said.


Just thought I would share what an interesting day this truly was.


This morning I just completed a batch of Yellow Tomato Preserves.

This afternoon my mom and I are to meet my sister and niece at Starbuck's. We have a lot of things to catch up on.


Have a great day!

Blessings,

Kathy
