You can always boil it down some more when you open the jars up......

I was contemplating a second planting this fall of green beans.... I was thinking about early August.
I did not get very many this spring.

I'm in the middle of cooking down 90lbs of tomato's.....I have two huge pots going. One is just plain sauce and the other is seasoned. (I can't standed store bought sauce...blech) It's almost down to the 1/2 way point now. I'm contemplating finishing into the night or starting fresh in the am with the canning...???

Ok, I went for it. I've got 9 quarts in my canner now. My house smells like an Italian Restaurant! Here's the sauce's:

Whew! I'm DONE! I started at 8am with 90lbs of maters and now I have 23 quarts of lovely sauce! 10 hours start to finish including clean up. I got a canner that holds 9 quarts at a time, wow does that save time! When they have to process for 40min., it makes a big difference.

Just imagine how wonderful that sauce is going to taste about January when you crack one open and the smell of summer fills the house

Why thank you! I am blessed to have a sister that sells produce to grocery stores, so she either sends it over for free or super cheap. It is so worth the effort/time. I like to do big batches when I can.

My next canning project is going to be blueberry pie filling and strawberry margarita jelly...mmmmmmm
