My mom taught me how to water bath can my garden tomatoes last year, and we did it together then. Today I tried it for the first time by myself, my 6 year old helped cut the tomatoes and add the lemon juice. He said canning was so fun! (He wasn't the one to clean up after 😅). I froze the tomatoes as they ripened all summer. So grateful they all sealed!

    Oh, the two containers that are not glass went into the freezer with extra tomatoes, will use those first for soup.

    How cute! I’m trying to get my kiddo interested but she is a bit younger. She loves taste testing the jams though 🤣

    Feels good doesn’t it? It’s so perfect to include your kids too. They need to know!
