I love sun dried tomatoes and seeing as how I'm going to have a TON of several different kinds, I'm going to try the process on them all to see which has the best results LOL

Yeah if we have enough that we are able to can what we want and still do some sun dried tomatoes then that will be great. I will have to look that up.

I would like to put up 80-100 quarts. Hopefully.

And then some pints of "Rotel" type tomatoes.

Rotel type....hmmm, interesting - love that also, need to see how to do that

Just thought I would share.I live in the city so there is not space for a garden but I do have an herb garden.In the summer we go to the farming areas
and pick out own veggies.They have alot of farms in South Alabama which are maybe a thirty minute drive.I love it when Silver Queen Corn comes in.
