canning tomatoes

I finally got around to canning these gorgeous San Marzano tomatoes that I got at Zweck's Organic Family Farm. I did it on a rainy Saturday with some great advice from here and here.

It took the better part of the afternoon, but I felt like a rich woman with all the jars on the kitchen counter. I don't actually think one saves any money canning this way, but there is something very pleasurable about the process and knowing that the marinara you will have in the middle of a snowstorm this winter will come from the summer harvest at a local farm.
