September 2, 2009I confess, that while Pearl and I were playing at the park with friends, Jeff was home slaving away over seven quarts of tomatoes. The man is FRIGGIN amazing ladies! He bottles all our produce, including homemade grape juice. Left to me, that sink of tomatoes would have gone bad before I got around to doing anything with them. Jeff, however, turns them into bottles of beautiful stewed tomatoes, with spices, green peppers, and who knows what other heavenly ingredients he throws in there. Seriously, this picture doesn't do them justice or the wonderful smell in the house. Jeff's only flaw? Forgetting the lemon juice and having to start over again with only 5 minutes of steaming left. I wasn't sure if he was angry or grateful when I walked in the door and asked if we had had enough lemon juice to put in them - no one wants to get botulism after all. Needless to say, one hour later we had seven quarts of yummy tomatoes!
