Canning season is in full swing! I can’t turn down “free food”. It’s not in my nature. Even though I can’t eat tomatoes. They’re inflammatory, my family can. And they love canned tomatoes puréed in soups, etc. So when my husband’s aunt offered her beautiful Roma’s, I said yes! I added a teaspoon of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt for flavor. The lemon juice adds the acidity needed to help the tomatoes retain their flavor. Yum! 2 batches done in about 4 hours. It would’ve taken less time, but I had children to pick up/drop off at school and work in-between canning! Crazy but good life of a mom!
