There was a large wholesale market that sold bulk to grocery stores near us and we'd buy bushels of plum tomatoes. Our children would help us and they have fond memories of it. This year our son grew many vegetables in his garden and he began canning his tomatoes with his children, so it's certainly a nice tradition to hand down and enjoy later.<br /><br />We still have wildfire smoke in our skies from the large fires that are burning in Colorado, and I agree my eyes and throat find it so ittitating. We aren't walking too much outside lately because of it. We keep hoping for a good rain to help the fire fighters!<br /><br />I did not know you had a separate recipe blog, Lorrie!

In Finland we don't have fires and the air is clean, we must be grateful. Your pantry looks filled with goodies that are so lovely to take in the winter. My mother made strawberry & apple jam, apple juice etc. I don't do anything of the kind, just rely on grocery stores. Herbs are the only thing I store for winter...
