Leftover Tomatoes

I had about five pounds of tomatoes left after making two batches of salsa. Not enough for another batch, but too many to eat before they went bad. I decide to make canned tomatoes. I boiled the tomatoes and whole and crushed them. I added about 6 gloves of garlic minced and let them boil for about five minutes.

I prepared 3 pint jars. I used italian seasoning in two of them and made the other just plain. You put whatever seasoning you want in the bottom of each jar along with a tablespoon of lemon juice. Ladle hot tomatoes on top.

I processed them for 30 minutes. I hope them turn out. Next time I will make some with mexican seasoning and maybe even cajun.

Luckily everything was in dry bags and tied down. Well, almost everything. Kev was trying to put his phone back into the dry box but didn't get to it fast enough. His phone got wet, but seems to work ok after sitting in a bag of rice for a few days. I didn't have my shoes strapped tight so they slid off. A friend in front of us managed to grab one shoe and one paddle. We carefully walked the canoe across the rapid and dumped the water out. I will admit I was pissed off about my shoe. I didn't talk to Kev for awhile. I know it wasn't his fault, but I wanted to be mad at someone. He promised he would replace th
