Canning tomatoes


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.
