I canned tomatoes for three days straight! For three hours - every afternoon during nap time for Evelyn - for three days I learned how to can! It was actually pretty fun. A lot of work, but fun ... and MESSY! By the end of the three days, I think my fingers were turning reddish orange! We completed about 80-90 or so jars of tomatoes and that's just the first batch. Dad Lindsay is planning to aquire MORE tomatoes soon and I will have to say GOOD BYE to watching Oprah and HELLO to swollen feet again! I am up for the challenge though! I think for my first time - I passed the test - I guess I am a MOLLY MORMON after all!!!
The funny thing is - I don't even like tomatoes!!!!!!!!!!!
Scalding the tomatoes
Pouring tomatoes in cold water
to cool before peeling skins
Discarding skins in compost
bucket - yummm!
