That's wonderful! What a great deal you got.

I know there were gripes from some about the time it took you, but once
you've tasted the difference between the store canned tomatoes and home
you understand. So delicious!

A couple of years ago we tried making ketchup. It was a lot of work but
so much better than what we can buy at the store. It's hard to go back
to the store stuff when we run out.
