@Dreamz how did you can them? I can in water (maybe chicken broth once?????). I know some folks dry can them.
I think the recipe was to boil for some little time and put and water bathe it. It was like 3 yrs ago. I think that was what made me forget about canning at all. It was a good deal I found on potatoes while living in the city. Now, I am in the country so want to learn more.
Hub got me a new pressure cooker. A bigger one. Just cannot know how to do the pressure because it is not a dial. The old one had no gauge either. Will take pictures tomorrow and post them.
Still not finished with the darn sauce. So many things in between. Yesterday was all the manual exhausting labor of hot water, cold water,and peeling. The crushing them with a potatoe smasher,lol, in a regular strainer which broke. That was with a couple of brakes to drop hub dodge to mechanic. Today, the darn chickens and ducks and dropping hub and picking him up. Almost thick but not enough. Too tired. Still have more tomatoes in the garden and onions and peppers to gather. Need to close sides of house to avoid having to go outside chasing animals from neighbors property. So that is an unexpected outing to town I need to do.
Hub needs to get on asap on the rooster house before winter. I also need to get the plastic from have no clue where in the garage might be to have it ready to wrap chickens and ducks run for winter. They say it will be in the 80's but being so close to lake Michigan, it colder than that. So far it has been no higher than 76. I like that a lot but it will be lower before a blink of an eye.
Got called from mechanic and the dodge injectors are cracked. And some other stuff I cannot remember. 2k for the whole deal. Good thing is that they have been my mechanic for 2 yrs and they will let me pay half on Friday and the other half when I get my next check. God is always good.
My chevy is ok but will need brakes all around and 4 new tires. I drive it a lot. I also need to make it back to Indiana before November to take a snow blower to my son. He doesn't have one nor I think he needs it. They barely get snow. But I have 2 that we do not used. I bought the plow for the Husqvarna mower and works great for all the snow we get in west michigan.
So, with all this bickering, means only that I didn't do squat in the garden today,
Hopefully, I can get a dehydrator, vacuum sealer, seed-peel extractor, and maybe 2 or more books, 
today was that kind of day to start with, but it was cool enough that when i went out i thought that perhaps i could start getting the tomato plant leavings (that Mom raked up yesterday) buried. so that's how the day started and i got a few nice chunks of the tomatoes buried so perhaps tomorrow morning i can get the rest of it done. that would mean that pretty much i have 1/5th of the gardens inside the fence put up for winter already...
