| I have canned stewed tomatoes, catsup, spaghetti sauce, salsa, Italian zucchini, tomato sauce, and tomato juice. The tomatoes are still coming. Any suggestions? |

What type of canning system do you use for your tomatoes? I am going to be canning tomorrow. I am very excited since I have never done it before. :)

Sun dried! I forgot about those.
Alee, I use both water bath and pressure canning, depending on what I am canning. If you're new at it, you may want to contact your agricultural extension office. I purchased a great book for $10. It is called "Complete Guide for Home Canning" published by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (Bulletin No., 539). I've had it for several years and it is my "bible" for a canning guide. Mine came punched and ready to put in a three-ring binder.
Good luck. I'm sure you will get as hooked as the rest of us. It can be a lot of work, but when you serve it at dinner, the pleasure you see on those eating it makes it well worth the time. |

I did spaghetti sauce successfully! I am very excited. I bought the Ball book about canning and realized it isn't as hard as you would think.
