The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Subang Jaya Branch Relief Society Activity ~ Homemade Salsa

I love Relief Society sisters in the church. I learned a lot of new things from the Relief Society activities. One of them is the food storage. Food storage is quite a new thing to me.

Earlier this year, our dear Relief Society Sister Marilyn Krouskop, whom come from United States that have the knowledge about food storage, shared her talents with the sisters in Malaysia like us.

And this month, we have been taught about how to do Food Canning. She taught us how to do Salsa and Strawberry Jelly in her house. Unfortunately, I could not make it, but I had followed the recipe given by her last few night, I made 12 pints of Salsa ❤️. Below is the recipe from Sister Krouskop:

I was really tired while I canned the Salsa, I have to stand and to peel and chopped the tomatoes, bell peppers and chilies and took me 1 and the half hour! But I really felt satisfied indeed after I have done it! I can’t wait to share these photos of my Salsa!
