Canning

On Tuesday night, Brian and I canned 30 quarts of tomato juice. We picked tomatoes on Monday, cleaned the jars, and got the canner and strainer from my mom's cupboard.


Brian did most of the cutting while I got things ready inside the house and boiled the tomatoes.

Canning really makes the kitchen a mess! Especially a fresh, white kitchen!

We decided to do the straining outside on our picnic table. We don't have a good space on the counter to attached the strainer, and doing it outside keeps the mess and splatters out of the kitchen.

Finishined product - we are pleased with the outcome. We'll probably do juice once more with the tomatoes that are ripening now.
