Adventures in Canning

Andrea came over yesterday and we set to work canning 3 bushels of tomatoes that we got from her mom. Scott ended up having to work for part of the day so it was the two of us, the tomatoes and all three kids!

This wasn't all of them..
Basil...and more tomatoes.
Garlic
Waiting for the skins to split so we could remove them.
Yum!
I'm SO bummed that I didn't take a pic of all the jars...this is half of them; Andrea had already taken hers home.
The possibilities to use these are endless!
We had a great day! We worked at the tomatoes for almost 8 hours! Logan and Jacob watched lots of TV :) and Norah napped and hung out in the kitchen with us; they were SO well behaved.

You can read about our canning adventures last year here. We are thinking about maybe doing salsa next year!
