Canning Tomatoes






I planted a garden this year, and with all the tomatoes getting ripe, it was time for canning! It may seem like a daunting task, but there is really nothing better than delicious flavorful tomatoes for sauces and soups in the dead of winter! Don't have a garden? No worries, just pick up some tomatoes at your local farmers market, and get to work!

I like to refer to the University of Minnesota's extension website for information on all the different ways you can preserve your delicious tomatoes. http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/nutrition/DJ1097.html. Another great resource is the Ball Blue Book of Preserving. Put it all together, and voila! Delicious tomatoes, any time of the year.
