Tomatoes started this past week. While I grow lot of tomatoes most of them are fresh eating. I don't grow any specifically for canning although some of my home grown tomatoes end up in the canning pot. Most of the tomatoes I grow come from a relative who grows commercially. I usually process somewhere around 10 hampers of tomatoes when in season. Last week I processed 2 hampers into roasted tomato and basil sauce, smooth Italian sauce, marinara sauce and tomato stock. It is a lot of work but the tomatoes are free so and it is a great blessing to replenish the pantry. This is the time of year the pantry begins to burst at the seams. What a wonderful blessing!
