My sister and I went to dad’s to help him bottle tomatoes. He grows a large garden every summer with corn, tomatoes, peppers, asperagus, rhubarb, and now has started berry bushes. He usually has enough for all of us to bottle.! So that is a pretty good trade-off for us anyway, he does all the work in the garden and we spend a morning with him canning!.
First you start with some good ripe tomatoes, picked right fresh out of the garden.
After you wash them you put them into scalding water till the skins split, then the skins will just slip right off. No messy peeling.
Then cut up the tomatoes and add a little water, sugar and salt and let them simmer for 5-10 mins
Then put the tomatoes into clean canning jars with lemon juice, add lids and process for 45 mins.
Then just have a little fun!
Thanks dad for all you do for us!
