Chopping, chopping, chopping

This morning I went to the Asian supermarket so I could get supplies for making salsa. Produce is always best and cheapest there. I still have many tomatoes and I'm making colorful salsa from yellow and orange bell peppers and green hot peppers so it is all pretty. I intend to use this as Christmas gifts.

Meanwhile, my fingers hurt and they are even wrinkled from chopping all of the fresh vegetables. I also got some apricots with the intent of making jam, but I'm, not happy with them so I'm going to see how they do in chutney.

I also got a ton of pickling cucumbers for 99 cents a pound. My favorite farm stand hasn't been having them and so I was afraid of not having enough pickles all winter.
