OT: Tomato Canning Time

Here are the tomatoes we canned yesterday. Have
a very good crop. The pinkish tomato 4th from the left is known as the Mortgage Lifter. Our daughter gave us that plant she purchased from QVC. The others are Burpee's Super Steak and I grew those plants from seed. Hal

Yep been canning my self in the last week or so. Put up 6 pints of Salsa, 11 pints of sweet relish, 4 pints of sweet jalapeño relish. 1 pints of okra and 1 pint of hot peppers so far. And as soon as I have enough matos and cukes I'll be doing a lot more

Good looking tomatoes there. Is it the camera or do those have a shade of pink in them?
A few years back my wife was boiling and boiling the tomatoes and wasn't satisfied. I asked and she complained they had not turned red yet??? She wasn't amused when told yellow tomatoes varieties were supposed to be yellow.
My daughter discovered and picked this season's 1st vine ripend tomato two days ago.
Amazing the difference between what's from the garden and what they call tomatoes in the store.
 

Yes, we didn't get 'em planted when we would have liked. The garden patch was kinda like a swamp. The tomatos are looking very good. Lots of nice, big green ones.
 
That is a nice supply of tomatoes. Has anyone ever tried fried green tomatoes. A lady in Florida told me about it but I haven't tried it yet.
Fried green tomaoes; wash , slice, soak in milk about an hour, salt, roll in flour, deep fry till brown, not to hot of oil.
I tried freezing and they did not fry good.
 
My late boss was always wanting green tomatoes so he could fry them. We've never had them, but when I was kid my mom would fry them when about half ripe. She would dip them in eggs that were beaten and then dip them in flour. Then fry them.

My boss had 3 acres of grass to mow and never raised a tomato. He wanted me to take a ride in his truck one morning and wanted me to look at his garden tractor. He said it wouldn't start.

After we got to his home he said he was caught in a driving rain storm and had the tractor on his truck. I grab the plug wire and told to crank it over. I thought he was going to dirty his pants.
There wasn't any fire, so I told him let's push it out in the sun and see if if will start when you get home after work. Called that night and said it started right up. Hal
 
They look really yummy. Temps in e. Tx way over 90 now, so my 'maters are all done. They were good while they lasted.
 
Its been near 90 here in MD too. Not much rain
either. I kept the garden watered. I ran a water line from the house to the garden 15 years ago. Have plenty of cukes, peppers and cabbage.

If you keep them watered and in shade they will start bearing again in late Sept. I like to plant them in the flower bed on the east side of the house and they bear until we get a freeze down in the lower 20's, usually about a week or so before Christmas. I live in Hill county Texas. Rick
 
I've had them bear until frost hits them. Usually
in October here. We usually pull the green tomatoes before frost hits them. Sometimes the weatherman is wrong. Hal
 
Old,

Do you have a recipe to share with us for the sweet Jalapeno relish? I got a bunch of 'em I'd like to do something with.
Tom
 
I used the same recipe for the hot relish as I did the sweet pickle relish. Just used pepper instead of the cukes. Now if you still need one drop me an e-mail and I'll scan the page on my recipe book and send it to you. Warning if you do can them you will be making fire relish but sweet fire LOL
