JoAnne canned her first batch of the season on Saturday. She used (3) different types of tomatoes: Roma (plumb), Supersonic and Brandywine. You can see the three different varieties in the first picture below. We're growing the Roma and Supersonic and my dad is growing the Brandywine.
Below is a good example of just how large the Brandywine tomato is. This one is about 6" wide but there have been larger ones!
Here is the finished product: 8 quarts and 4 pints. Actually, there were 9 quarts but we couldn't wait and opened one that JoAnne cooked dinner with Sunday night.
There are PLENTY of green tomatoes here and at my dad's so JoAnne is planning on canning more, much more! You just can't beat fresh tomatoes. I know my mother would be proud of JoAnne and would have loved to have had her help for all the year she used to do it, it's a lot of work.
