Canning

So last Saturday Edgar gave me 2 cases of Russian Black Plum Tomatoes to can up - something that I had never done before. Gayla gave me a quick lesson in canning - it's a lot easier than I had imagined - and I committed to doing it. While Giselle was at Sunday School Paul and I went to HEB and got 2 dozen wide-mouth 1 quart canning jars and after church we commenced to cooking and canning pasta sauce. By the time that I quit at dinnertime, I had made 13 quarts of pasta sauce and still had 1/3 case of tomatoes left for making green juice for the week. I'll know in a few weeks when I try the sauce for the first time whether or not I did it right - if I get botulism then I did it wrong!
