I've been meaning to post this and then saw that SouleMama, who has a great crafting blog, had posted about her tomato canning. She inspired me to get my pictures up. The tomatoes we so beautiful!
My friend Deborah moved this year and gave me all of her canning supplies before she left. What a great gift. I went to a canning party earlier in the month and we canned apples, tomatoes, and blackberries. Then it was the 30 pounds heirloom tomatoes I brought home from the farmer's market, and the peaches for peach jam and apples for apple butter. Such a satisfying thing to be saving this food that's ripe and in season. I just want to avoid eating that tasteless produce the grocery store sells year round.
The kids had a great time with the tomato canning. They cleaned (and threw) and weighed the tomatoes and handed them to Jevon and me to process.
Lots of work but well worth it.
