Reaping the Harvest
This summer I had planted 8 tomato plants in my garden; 4 roma and 4 beefsteak. Well, it is time to harvest and I can't believe how much one plant can produce. These were raised from seed so they were very inexpensive. I think one plant has produced over 10 lbs of tomatoes. At $2.99 a lb (store price here) that is a huge savings. I have decided, after eating many tomato sandwiches, that I would can some. Surprise, surprise. Anyway, I made one batch of pizza sauce so far that turned out so delicious. Tonight I am making more because it takes a ton of tomatoes to make a little bit of sauce. Be warned though, if you try to cook tomatoes down for sauce as I am doing, it scorches very easily. I am hoping if I add more tomatoes that you won't be able to taste it much. I just can't bear to throw it away.
