Canning
Looks like I've got some canning in my future!
The tomatoes have been coming fast and furious lately. I can't keep up!

Canning Tomatoes
Tonight I spent some time canning tomatoes. Why? This is why:
I got a total of six quart-sized jars and only used up about 40% of them. It will be nice to make some homemade sauce in the winter when garden-fresh tomatoes are scarce!
I used the pressure canner that my in-laws gave me a few years ago. It was used during the years my husband was growing up. He has many fond memories of going to his grandfather's garden and picking green beans so they could process them and store them for the winter. The canner has obviously seen a lot of use and it comes to me outfitted with a new seal.
Hopefully I will have a chance to do another round in the next few days to use up the remainder of tomatoes.

I did it!
I canned some tomatoes from my garden!
(insert annoying squeal here)
The learning curve was steep for my first batch but I suspect it will just get easier each time I do it.
