With all the talk of becoming more self-sufficient, going green, and of course the current.....saving money......I thought a post about how to can tomatoes from your own garden would be good. You know they are vine-ripened, no preservatives and if you choose to make it so, they can be organic. It's a little daunting when you first get started. You have to purchase some supplies that you should be able to reuse over and over, but it's really not hard. Besides, there's nothing like tomatoes from your own garden. The ones in the stores just don't compare.
Here's a site that explains it well, with tips and advice, and it even has great illustrations. Give it a try.
