But yes, send me your information! And so glad to hear from you.<br /><br />P.S. I'm stocking up on booze for my canning. Excellent idea.Starr https://www.blogger.com/profile/03466102837363060940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790121510339399973.post-47635796833345149592012-05-30T08:14:40.463-05:002012-05-30T08:14:40.463-05:00I know you're not going to believe this, but I...I know you're not going to believe this, but I put up something like 96 pints of various jams and jellies a couple of summers ago. It took 3 days and 3 bottles of wine. I strongly suggest that canning and drinking be done simultaneously. It helps the aching feet.<br /><br />At any rate, if you're really thinking about canning tomatoes, make sure you talk to someone in your area (I suggest the county extension office) about your kinds of tomatoes. Heirlooms and hybrids have a widely disparate level of acid; hybrids often require additional citrus in order to can properly. AND badly canned tomatoes can be deadly (both in the explosive and puking varieties of death). <br /><br />I'm going to email you some notes on canning tomatoes from the MN extension office (I know, I know, you're still in shock about my 4H proclivities... but I DID grow up on a farm after all!)
