My friend Tammy ask me today "are you gonna can those tomatoes", since it would make sense to eat these and wait for mine to come in to can but I have never done it before and could not wait. Mama canned when I was young but I paid no attention to details then, later figured it is easier to buy them at the store and now in my old age of 32 I am ready to grow my own food and can it myself. I started out small with only 5 quarts but I learned alot. I don't think I will need the recipe next time. Yes, I know, many people have done this and it has been done for years but it was new and exciting to me so I had to even share my pictures!
The beginning....
the middle...
and the end!
One funny thing is when your almost 13 year old comes in asking "what are you cooking" like I have moved us back to the cave man days but even though he has no interest now, he will remember it just like I did. He did help batter squash and fry it up tonight...not that he was gonna eat it but at least he was cooking.
Oh and a little goat soap update... I was able to break out my molds and it smells so natural, like the oatmeal, not the strong scents in the store bought.
