I dehydrated some paste tomatoes one yr and were super good when used in cooking. Nice flavor. Heck they even tasted good just eating dried. I plan to do those again this year. Actually a nice snack, satisfying.
WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

I put mine upstairs....still a little drifts down. Plus I cooked some with beef patties. So 
It's not bad. The price we pay for convenience & supply later.
Didn't get to freezer for chicken breast, will today. Prob won't thaw for canning today. Tomorrow job. Commercial pack at a 10# block. Friend works at distributor & got practically free. Have these last 2 bags to go.

Just an update....last yr I canned fresh goat milk. To use if bottle kid & home use in cooking. This pic is jars before canning & appropriate lids.
8 months later -- it's separated & I'm thinking "crap", didn't work? So, took 2 pints out of pantry. Shook one hard for a few minutes....had this
Then I opened the shook up one, which was looking slightly tan & perfectly combined. Yep, tasted like perfect evaporated milk!! Put full lid on & set in frig. Later I'll use in mashed potatoes & as cream in hot tea. I'll update with taste test then. Now I'm thinking it's a success. Evap milk is running $1.25- 1.95, depending on brand. Since I milk my goats, this overflow costs only a lid, 25 cent, be it qt or pint jar. Plus, since they were in pressure canner but no extended time, the lid wasn't deep depression. I'd feel ok reusing on something like WB jellies or pickles.
