I remember her making ketchup, so maybe if you wind up with more tomatoes you could try that next?Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-29533001880525552672016-08-24T16:31:25.975-05:002016-08-24T16:31:25.975-05:00So sorry about your uncle.

I'm...So sorry about your uncle. Hugs and hugs.<br /><br />I'm with Stephany. I don't see myself not being intimidated enough to try canning. I do admire you for doing this. What a great way to be sustainable throughout the year. Also, I imagine they would make great gifts!

Indeed, a very sad and tragic death and it's very hard to get your brain around that kind of loss. Sending wishes of peace and healing your way.<br /><br />Oh my gosh, Lisa, you are a machine! That salsa, the sauces... you are going to be eating very well long after the season ends. I'm so proud of you for tackling such a big challenge!

Those unexpected deaths are the hardest to accept, I think :( although a silver lining is that he didn't have to suffer through some terrible illness. Hugs to you, my friend.<br /><br />Secondly, holy smokes. 45 pounds (!) of tomatoes? Did you harvest the whole community garden. That's impressive. I was only getting a couple of tomatoes at a time, so there was no canning option for me ... but it looks like you made good use of all the produce that your garden produced :)Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196296268895103846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-9622487429649232342016-08-23T10:05:21.500-05:002016-08-23T10:05:21.500-05:00First: I am so sorry to hear about your uncle.

Since then I have felt comfortable doing it myself. A few years back we canned salsa, whole and crushed tomatoes before. I took last year off, but Sunday afternoon I tried my hand at tomato juice. We'll see what happens with the rest of our tomatoes. :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878716105745379852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-27827953954552786582016-08-23T08:35:26.525-05:002016-08-23T08:35:26.525-05:00Canning is lots of work, but the feeling of accomp...Canning is lots of work, but the feeling of accomplishment when you look at those sealed jars of produce is so satisfying! I miss that so much, and am proud you tackles this on your own!<br />I am still trying to deal with my brother's unexpected death and it will take time. All I can say is that everyone should get annual physicals to make sure your heart health is good! He appeared to be in great health but evidently was not, and rarely went to a doctor. If he had, he probably could have had bypass surgery and lived another 30 years or more. So at this point, I am a bit angry at him but I know this will pass. I just feel for his wife, children & grandchildren who would have loved to spend many more years with him!Marlyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193291251401344495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-22607991325964381642016-08-22T20:50:44.124-05:002016-08-22T20:50:44.124-05:00A friend of mine uses an attachment to the kitchen...A friend of mine uses an attachment to the kitchen aide mixer that grinds up the tomatoes so that you can skip the peeling step for all of her tomato canning.

I made plum jam but only had enough to make about 5 jars and it was A LOT of work for only 5 jars!! haha. Going forward I will only can if I have lots of stuff. My grandma, aunt, cousin and sister in law are all huge into canning though so if I was ever to do any canning I think I would recruit their help!
