Canning my tomatoes.

Ok i said i would can my tomatoes and i did!My awsome mom taugh me the safe and proper way of canning tomatoes and about everything else!I inherited her pressure cooker a 23 quarts!
So after sterilizing just about everything(if you know my mom you know what i mean) we blanch the tomatoes, shock them and peel them,

Now they are in the mason jars in that big sucker!Ist 30 years old and i love it, i don't want a new one, i wanted that one!Since i am the only one in my family that cares about learning to do all kind of stuff to better myself as a homemaker she said i could have it!I love learning this stuff!I want to be the best homemaker i can be!I want to show this model to my children, i think its important for them to see their mother doing this for her family, i am not sure why i feel so strong about it but i do and i usually follows what my heart tells me!It is so rare now out days that you see someone cooking from scratch, so much that its an event when someone does notice...You usually hear people saying oh yes ...she made it from scratch..... that cracks me up because before that was obvious.. that they made their own stuff.My goal is not too show off or to come off like if i am prideful, i just want to do it because i want too ,as simple as that,My mother did it and i am talking about becoming a good homemaker here in case you got lost in all my jargon... and my grandmother did it and i want too!It makes me proud of myself!There is nothing like a day where i clean,cook,and play/work with my kiddos!I was born to do this and i love it!




here is cooling off that pressure cooker.. you don't want to open this while there is still pressure otherwise you would ge a hack of a facial with no face left at the end:)


And here is the beautiful product!they will last 3 years being yummy in there,,, 3 for sure because we had some of my moms that were that old!Thank you mami for teaching me!
