I’m only sad this recipe doesn’t allow for quarts. I made a large batch and set aside some for dinner last night and then canned up the rest while dinner was cooking.

Ended up with 12 pints that sealed and 1 for the fridge that didn’t.

Is it just me, or do recipes with fresh tomatoes go wildly off track as to how many jars the recipe calls for vs how many jars it fills? I don’t mind, just found it to be interesting and wondered if I was the only one.

Side note, I’m finding this to be a good method for trying new recipes and getting the family to eat the canned goods. If I make a double batch and serve some for dinner that night, then the fam knows how good it is and how to eat it right away. It seems to help when it comes time for them to look for something to eat in the cabinets. They’re already familiar with it, so to them the jars are essentially just “leftovers” pre-prepped and ready to eat.

    I’m happy to see this! I was planning on doing this for the state fair this year.

    I need to save this for when we have good tomatoes fresh again! Looks tasty!

    How do you like to use it?
