it was a perfect day for a canning party.
a breezy day with low humidity.
just right for heating up the kitchen.
there is nothing like working with a team of friends to make the workload light and the time go faster.
and of course to help feed kiddoes and hold babies, clean up a big ol’ mess and laugh a whole lot in between.
we had an assembly line that worked beautifully.
and in the end we were left with 11 jars of san marzanos each.
but we are not done yet.
there are plans for more tomatoes, pickles, dilly beans, blackberry jam and applesauce.

OH!!! looks like fun, it’s been along time since I canned. You inspire me so much. thank you…
nice work amy! i canned 6 quarts of peaches today, and slow roasted and froze 3 half pints of cherry tomatoes. it’s the best feeling! i’ll be getting to tomatoes in a couple of weeks. yum!!
i am slowly picking up more canning skills, but funnily enough, i only want to can tomatoes this yerar. i am learning more about fermentation and keeping the foods alive more. i spied a handsome crock, are you fermenting anything with tomatoes?
