Default Good canning tomato??

Oh, I don't see that my canned stewed tomatoes are any better

doing it. I was raised by a career woman who made strawberry jam
*once*. That was the total of her canning.


I sympathize with running a hobby to completion once and then losing
interest. I've done that with most of the crafts that I have tried. I
demonstrated to myself I could do X. Done. Next project type.

Only a few hobbies I've continued. Herb gardens, home brewing ...



I even lost interest in home brewing once I "mastered" mashing pale
grain malt. But I've been thinking I should dust off my equipment and
try it again and see how much I've forgotten; see if I can still brew
a drinkable beer.
