Attack of the killer tomatoes
Vine-ripened tomatoes were on sale at No Frills, so we bought some 15 pounds of plump, red, juicy, fragrant tomatoes. Mmm! We wanted to try canning our own sauce, so we picked up mason jars as well. As it turned out, canning your own vegetarian spaghetti sauce looks like a difficult process if you want to minimize the risk of food poisoning. We opted for the easy way out instead, freezing the spaghetti sauce flat in freezer bags. It came to about 4 liters of sauce. Where did all the rest of the tomatoes go? Probably splattered around the kitchen... it was a mess!
I had a lot of fun pulping what seemed like a hundred tomatoes. I simply couldn't stay awake long enough to see the process through, but W- kept the simmering sauce company late into the night. We look forward to trying some of it soon. I hope we actually managed to save time and money in the process, or it'll be one of those once-in-a-lifetime adventures. ;) (As long as it's not an end-of-a-lifetime adventure, right?)
