Yesterday there were enough ripe tomatoes to make a batch of chili sauce.
We've been getting enough tomatoes for sandwiches and such, but this was the first "big picking." My recipe calls for 4 quarts of chopped tomatoes ("about 24 large," it says). I'm a couple of tomatoes short of 4 quarts, but I left some on the vines to ripen a tad more. I'll go back to the garden and get a few more before I start the chili sauce.
This year, it's tough to find canning jars and lids. Everybody in the county must be canning this year. I have a good supply of jars, and enough lids to do the chili sauce, but I'll need more lids before the next batch.
