Since we planted 8 tomato plants this year, we have an abundance of tomatoes. I like fresh tomatoes, but I don't love them. So, I tried my hand at canning! It actually wasn't too hard, just got really hot in the house. I would never buy produce to can - way easier to buy them - but since we had them, it was fine. I have more to do tonight - I think I'm going to get smaller jars so it's not so much to use all at once.
The finished product!
The second batch I didn't have time to can, so I decided to freeze them. Much faster, but I now have no room in my freezer - between these and the zucchini.
And the third thing I did was make jam! We have quite a few raspberries now, and we got a bunch at one time when we were gone for a weekend. So I saved some up and made jam last night. It was way easier than I thought it would be, and we got 7 1/2 jars out of one batch! I won't have to buy jam for a long time now.
