Maximum effort on these tomatoes 😅. The priority was getting them prepped for freezer preservation and so this was a success.

I’m not quite yet comfortable with canning, but we’ll get there. I’m just glad nothing went to waste because I was tired.

In the end, we got 13 quart bags of sauce and diced tomatoes. I did not measure how much went into the bags after the first bag. 🤷🏽‍♀️😬.

My house isn’t perfect, my kitchen isn’t perfect, and real life is happening here. But, my family is getting all my love and effort, and that’s what matters and that’s real life. And no, I’m still not doing that laundry. I’m making curry for dinner, instead.

Added for the nerds like me: we did beefsteak, cherry, Roma, and Cherokee purple tomatoes. Everyone has their preferences on which tomatoes to use for sauce and I will use them ALL.

They thinking about you canning tomatoes for sauce like Italians but they don't know about the long islanders bottling any and every type of tomato they grow!!
