Fairy Town by Emily

I got a lot of help with this fairy house. My sister Jenny helped me with this house and my freind Hallie.We had to do this house over and over until we got it right.We also made a few more fairy homes. Hallie made a raft made of sticks and twigs. We made raspberry pie and rasberry juice.We also made a swing.







Emily made this swing for the fairies to play on.


The fairies can sail on the pond in this flower fairy boat.


Jenny is putting the finishing touches on her fairy house.

Grandma Reaves Tomato Relish

Here come the tomatoes...
My parents found Grandma Reaves tomato relish recipe and sent it to me, I decided to give it a try. I remember seeing my grandpa put this over peas and cornbread.
Tomato Relish
1 peck (we figured out this is 2 gallons) of ripe tomatoes
5 large onions
4 or 5 hot green peppers
1 Tbsp salt
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 cups vinegar
black pepper to taste
Scald and peel tomatoes, mash them up, and drain off most of the water. Grind up pepper and onions; mix all ingredients and cook slowly for about an hour, or until done.
Put in pint jars (this makes 7 pints) and is delicious on vegetables.
