Hey Again!
So tomato season has SPRUNG! Last week we got 20lbs of tomatoes from our CSA, plus the 7lbs from the previous week, plus my mom and in-laws brought food from their garden/their friends garden. So, 30lbs+ of tomatoes later we have 20 pints of canned tomatoes, and from previous weeks and our neighbors garden we have made 14 cans of salsa, gave two back to the neighbors, and actually ran out of cans so we have 2 cans worth of salsa in the fridge for dinner this week.
Let me tell you - we made home made tomato soup from our canned tomatoes (I've never had anything besides campbell's) and DANG is it delicious with a fraction of the sodium and way more vegetables (we also used previously frozen carrots and swiss chard stems instead of celery).
It's awesome. We love it. We recommend it. Is it hard work? Yes. Does it take time? Yes. But is learning how to preserve your own food and make it from scratch totally worth it? HELL YES!
