This summer we had a garden and ended up with tons of tomatoes. In the past I have mostly either used everything fresh, chopped it up and put it in the freezer, or let it go to waste. I was intimidated at the idea of canning. I decided that this year we would give it a try.
My friend Rachael grows a huge garden every year and is a pro and canning so I asked her if I could come over and watch her can tomatoes a few times so I could get the hang of it. I tend to learn best by watching someone else do it rather than just reading about it.
She did a great job helping me feel like I could do it, so we bought a Pressure canner and all the necessary supplies and gave it a try!
Here is some of our bounty. It feels good to put away some of our own home grown goodness to use throughout the year!
Thanks for the help, Rachael!
