I always think of my Mom each year when I put up tomatoes. Fortunately, last year and this year my tomato garden has been very productive and all the cans of tomatoes have been from my own garden.
I remember when my Mom taught me how to can tomatoes so many, many years ago. We used to drive out in the country to one of the farms that had a little stand and buy "seconds." Back then, they didn't have farmer's markets on every street corner 7 days a week. We would, occasionally, go down to Findlay Market outside of downtown Cincinnati and buy tomatoes there.
As I am putting these up in my cabinet for this winter, I always think of my Mom and tell her thank you for all that she taught me.
