Crushed Tomatoes
Again this year, it took 6 hours to blanch, peel and dice a bushel of tomatoes. There were 6 with bad spots that I didn’t want to use for preserving and 1 that had gone moldy.
7 quarts of prepped tomatoes did 5 quart jars; I had to do a 2nd batch of 2.5 quarts of tomatoes for the other two jars, only to realize I can only fit 6 quarts plus 1 skinny one in the basket, not a full 7 quarts! Dammit! This is important for bottling tomatoes because I used up all my skinny jars the day before making pasta sauce … remember this for next year Brooke!
