The thrill of the *pop*

Do you can? No, not the can-can. Can...bottle, store food for later? If so you are very familiar with the thrill of the *pop*. If not, let me try to explain.

You reap what you sow.
Many hands make light work.



Some other corny cliche. Blah Blah Blah.

But the end result is a beautiful bottle of food conveniently stored until you need it on some dark stormy winter night and you know it worked when you hear the



*POP*

I LOVE that sound.

I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with the fact that you took pictures in the middle of your canning process, or the act of your canning :) Either way - keep up the great work! Oh - and I love the "pop" too.

Those are some very nice photos. I've never canned. So I don't understand the *POP*, but it sounds fun!

I love the POP too, because it means that I don't have to redo the processing! Good work.

BTW, is that tomato sauce or juice?

And, I like the paint color is the background. Yummy. Warm.

Sharon-gotta think of my blog...whenever I 'can'. Ha...I kill myself. ;)

Jana-Thanks

Brenda-Yes! You can see my paint. I forgot. :) It is tomato juice/sauce. Not really thick enough to be sauce. Most of this batch was Early Girl Tomatoes, but when I do Roma's it is much thicker. I use it with sauce and paste for spaghetti.
