While my mom and grandma were here I put them to work helping me make fresh tomato sauce with tomatoes from our garden. We planted several tomato plants and they’ve done really well despite being blown over by storms several times… Instead of canning I decided to do fresh tomato sauce to freeze. I’m really [...]
