I sold jalapenos all day today I had 12 crates of Roma tomatoes to go with them, so they sold halfway decent. I managed to get moms entertainment center put together this mroning before I went to get the produce. I stopped by 5 mexican restaurants, and sold 4 boxes of jalapenos to a few neighbors. They're doing some canning too I went and got niecey, took some extra stuff to another neighbor, and picked up the finished potaotes and salsa from the other neighbors house. Now I have to take more jars down to them, get started on my tomatoes, and TRY to get done tonight, because tomorrow....we may be getting another load and Bro. J WILL be calling me if we do. So I need to finish up I truly just want to go to bed. My body is SCREAMING for rest right now. But, if I can manage to get the tomatoes ready, I can send them down to the neighbor and she'll can them for me I have the most beautiful sweetest neighbors in the world!! So, I must get them ready at least, then I am going to bed early tonight. I only have 50 pounds of tomatoes, and I think I am just going to put them in the food processor whole and can peels and all after I cook them down a bit. I can't wait till Sunday....a day of rest is soundin pretTY good about now

Oh we're pressure canning them this time around which is even better since I can't possibly blow myself up because i am not having to do the canning I am the food prep gal

 

[BarredBuff]

Pressuring? Interesting, we actually oven can them s

 

[Wannabefree]

Sweet! I like the idea of oven canning, myself

 

[BarredBuff]

SSDreaming gave me an oven canning butter recipe...and I may have to try it atleast. We actually have a pressure canner, that is more resistant to explosions. Its a Mirro Matic. May need to get you one....

Well...I may have killed it...with a hammer...but...the stupid thing wouldn't open So, I started tapping the handle with a hammer..and uh..it broke, so I tapped the other handle, and it broke..so I tapped the screws that held the handle on and they broke...all FOUR of them...and i still aint got my dang taters out of there :/ I dunno how to get the dumb lid off it now
