The day was divided into two parts: tomatoes in the morning and pears in the afternoon. Everything seemed to go a lot faster with all the people we had helping, and before I knew it we had several dozen jars full of beautiful food. Each participant went home with a jar of tomatoes and pears. We were all so excited, and I feel I am so excited to can more and now that I know the basic skills, I feel confident enough to can on my own now. Just need to pick up my own canning kit, and I'm set!
Please excuse the weird quality of these photos. I took them with my mid grade camera in weird light, and this was the best I could with them.
Have you canned before?
