Grandma Carol's Canned Tomatoes

Boil and peel the tomatoes

Cut them into fourths

Boil them with 2 Tablespoons of canning salt for 15-20 minutes

They will make their own juice

Remove Froth

Pour into jars and put lids on them! 

Heat lids before putting them on for proper sealing

Halfway done!

Working hard

It was a long day of canning

All finished!

We Also canned Spaghetti Sauce

Grandma's Recipe was spelled

"Spaggette Sauce"

She said the recipe card was from her 

Sister-In-Law Dorothy

who was married to my Grandpa's brother, Salvester.

While I spent the day with my
