My husband AKA canning fool... canned peaches today. They were on special for .75 a pound at one of the grocery stores around here.

Right now in processing we have:

7 Pints of Tomatoes
1 Pint of Tomato Juice
1 Half-Pint of Tomato Juice

Not a lot but it sure will help grocery bills!

I wish I had tomatoes to can. I have one plant covered with little green maters and the other plant is dropping all the blossoms.

Only one has sealed thus far :/

Well today I am only reprocessing a few that didn't seal. I haven't had this happen in a long time must have been asleep when I tightened the rings yesterday. But yesterday's haul was 28 pints f tomatoe sauce and 8 quarts of juice. And I dehydrated one quart.

Terri, wish I could send you a few cause I picked another little over a half a bushel of tomatoes today again. Got the dehydrator full again and will do something with the rest sometime this weekend.

Anybody have suggestions? So far I have salsa, stewed tomatoes, paste, sauce and juice. Still have some tomatoe jelly,jam and marmalade left over from last year.

I just put some chili to process. I'm doing it @ 10LBs for a ridiculous amt of time according to Stocking Up for beef canning. But I have a problem that I completely forgot about. My older pressure cooker is much older than the one DH gave me a few years back....it belonged to my grandmother. Well, I don't think the seal is very dependable, so even though I'm using it for the pint's, I am not sure if I will really have the amt of pressure I need. Granted, its not just beef I'm processing. There is salt and other seasonings and then a good amt of tomatoe product, so I'm hoping that allows me some acid to keep things safe. But I think I won't let the pints get very old at all.
Now the quarts shouldn't be a problem. That seal is well intact.

For those who are tired of doing the tomatoes up, freeze them whole and can them later!
