Pioneer Woman at Heart

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know that the massive amounts of rain killed off our garden harvest.  I was able to can one batch of ketchup, which did not last long. However, our previous garden year was absolutely wonderful, and I canned tomato paste for the first time.

Yesterday, after laundry was on the line, I decided to start with 20 lbs. of paste tomatoes, a few bay leaves and followed the instructions in Keeping the Harvest , by Nancy Chioffi and Gretchen Mead.
