Holly Attempts Canning...

And succeeds!

Over the past two days, the hubby, our favorite Mary Poppins helper and I went through a giant basket of tomatoes and turned out the following:


3 quarts and 6 pints of tomato sauce and 4 pints of spicy salsa!  Oh, and two quarts of water, not pictured.  Yes, I canned water.  I did the salsa first, and there wasn't enough in the pot to keep everything from toppling over, so in a panic, I called my mom and asked what to do.  (By the way, I don't know how by the book it is, but it totally works!)  Phew, salsa saved!

Now, I need chips and noodles to put the end result to the test.  Mmm.
