8lbs of roasted tomatoes made 4 pints.

Good afternoon!! I’ve been out all morning cutting grass, harvesting tomatoes and cucumbers.
My husband has been very sick so I haven’t been doing much in the gardens. I did replace a few plants and started some more seed.
Sometimes life gets a little harder, but this is America , where our lives are not as hard as war weary countries.
I cry for the children of these countries…they should not have their sweet childhoods stolen like this.
Old men making war, young men dying. Children and their mothers suffering so.
My heart breaks for them.

Today I’m making canned crushed tomatoes.
8 pounds, which what I had ripe, only makes 4 pints. Next week, I hope to have 21 pounds or more to can.
It’s a real process, let me tell you! Wash,,blanch off the skins, peel, core and quarter. Then you seed them and put into a pot. Cook for 20 mins,add salt, then cook for an hour to reduce. After that you can and water bath.
And this is why I never sell or give away my canned tomatoes. You cant pay me for the work involved….

Went out out to gather a bit more to can.

I love to can, but even tho i sell some (kyle family and I eat most of it) its also about bartering with me. I love to trade for eggs, cheese, honey, veggies that i dont grow. That’s where the real fun starts!!

Doing several things at once.
Today is strawberry jam day, but so much is going on….
Macerating fresh strawberries for fresh jam, making hot compresses for my husband’s cellulitis ( yarrow, peppermint, roses, lavender) and having lunch! Stay tuned for the jam!
