Canning Tomatoes

With the help of this great website I “put up” my first batch of tomatoes ever today. It was… umm… messier than I expected! They are setting and cooling now so I don’t know if they taste any good, but they look right. That counts, right?! :) I’m looking forward to lots of yummy soups with CSA veggies this winter!

peeling

Peeling tomatoes is easy, but messy! I even got tomato juice in my tea!

jarring

Jarring up the tomatoes. I used red, yellow, and orange ones, so they look very pretty. :)

done

All done. There is some separation, but the website says that’s normal. The one that looks like barely any tomatoes actually has just tomato juice in it. I figured I’d can the extra juice and see what happened!
