How exciting to see my post on making Dehydrated Salsa in a Jar is being featured on the hop this week! The experiment of combining all the dehydrated ingredients for homemade dehydrated salsa worked great and I’ll be using this idea for my Christmas gifts this year – woo-hoo! Goodness from the garden, what a great gift. Thanks for hosting, love the hop!
