  2. hi kristen!
    you're welcome.
    you will love canning. (when you're done, that is.)
    **roma (aka plum) tomatoes are best for canning.**
    but if you have any tomatoes you can get for ~free~ or almost~, those will be perfect!

    check back, i'm going to post the-easiest-how-to-can-peaches-ever.

    good luck to you, my chic canning friend!

  4. Look how cute you are... canning. :) That might convince me to can, but most likely not. haha. Maybe someday when I've got more space.

    I missed the PM article from you last week! Was I blind and didn't see it?

  9. oh Yumminess. I love tomatoes. I have never canned them before. I froze them all from last year and had them all used up within 6 months. I can't wait to bottle them this year. I will do it with the next round that I pick, since I have spent all last week making marinara sauce. It was awesome.
    I have 2 big buckets of peaches on the patio. Please post peach photos and instructions soon.
    I also made the jalapenos and 3 days later my hands are still burning (note to self: always wear gloves!)
    love your blog
