Canning Tomatoes
Today we canned tomato juice and froze peaches. My Grandma, Mom, Sister and I got together at my sister's house to work. Canning is a messy affair....just ask Grandma!! Her nice white sweatshirt is now splattered with tomato juice (yes, it was thanks to me! Sorry Grandma!).
The kids each took a turn cranking.
 Caleb.
 Rachel.
 Josiah
 My niece Gabriela.
And here is my Mom slicing up peaches:
I didn't get any pictures of my sister (she's the photographer!).
We got 42 quarts of tomato juice and 18 quarts of peaches. It was a messy, hard day...but we had fun!
Next week we're hopefully doing corn, salsa and diced tomatoes. |

Tomatoes!
I had to laugh at your tomato pictures. We canned 97 qts of spaghetti sauce & 59 qts of tomato sauce. It smelled like cooking tomatoes in our house for a couple of weeks. How many tomato plants were there? Your pictures remind me of when I learned to can, with my mother in law and my sister in law. Such fond memories. Now I do it with my daughters who still live at home. Come check out my two entries on tomatoes.
