Sixty Quarts

    This year our tomatoes have sort of been a flop. They were beautiful plants when we transplanted them to the garden, but... Some deer came along and ate some, then there was a lot of rain. And now it is starting to get cold. I've been scared that they would all get frosted and destroyed. All winter long we would have store bought spaghetti sauce and lousy tasting chili. That problem has been remedied.

   I went to market and bought 5 half bushels of whole tomatoes from the Corrions. As soon as I got   home Mom and I started processing.
