Yeah! We did tomatoes a few years ago and swore never again. But shoot,
the home made kind is so very tasty and this year seemed to be a bumper
year for tomatoes around here and our CSA was doing the bulk sale
thing...
I did comment to my husband during the process that I could totally
understand why one of the local farms sells their bottled tomato sauce
for $16 a quart (!) I still don't believe anyone actually ever buys a
jar of those tomatoes though - seriously expensive. They must end up
eating it all themselves because that's just a crazy price even for all
the effort.
I'm making a batch of tomatillo salsa tomorrow and then I'm calling it
the end of canning for the year. We did quite a bit more than usual and
dang it's hard work.
