the tomatoes

i knew i wanted to be this type of person, i just never thought i actually would be.

we were gifted a crate load of tomatoes and i knew i would feel guilty if i didn't at least try to do something with them.

so i canned.

i canned.

i found a recipe online and set to work.

the best part was definitely peeling the tomatoes. who knew how satisfying it would be to feel the skin slide off?

the yield wasn't quite as high as I was hoping, but I wanted a thicker sauce so we simmered away for most of the afternoon and ended up with a few pints of perfectly thick and rustic tomato sauce. and more is on the way. just as soon as the rest of the bundle ripens.
