My friend and I followed your instructions but, for the last 4 jars we think we forgot to put the lemon juice in. Will that pose a problem? I was just wondering what it was for, since the tomatoes are already acidic. Please let me know. Thank you and thank you for your amazing website and online cooking course. Wardeh,

I stopped by to check up on you and your adventures. I just spent the whole weekend putting up 150 pounds of tomatoes! I made sauce, diced tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, whole raw tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, tomato juice, and salsa. Some of it I froze and most of it I canned. Now I need a weekend from my weekend! I know that I used to have a canned chili recipe that I got from Backwoods Magazine, but I can't find it. Maybe they have it online? http://www.backwoodshome.com/ Hope all is well! xoxo, Amy <em>Hi,Amy! It is good to see you. My you have been busy! All those sound wonderful! I hope you've gotten a good rest. Thanks for the tip to look at BWM; I will see if they do have it! </em> Hey Wardeh!

You can water bath chili as long as it doesn't have meat in it. <em>Please do let me know. I can always look in my Blue Book,though. It doesn't seem that creative, though. Pretty conventional and standard stuff in there. </em> Wardeh, I don’t have my chili canning instructions on my blog but if I do manage to get it on there, I’ll let you know.

Please do let me know. I can always look in my Blue Book,though. It doesn’t seem that creative, though. Pretty conventional and standard stuff in there.

You are having a great time aren't you? :) Have you canned before or is this your first time to can tomatoes? I usually make tomato sauce, chili, spaghetti sauce and can whole tomatoes this time of year. <em>This is my first time to can (other than jam) and I <strong>am</strong> having fun. I sure wish I had more tomatoes! ;) If I could get enough sauce made, I would like to do salsa. I finally have a pressure canner that my mom passed on to me, but I need to buy a new seal for it and have the gauge checked. So I'm just doing water-bath acid things for now. When I know the PC is up to speed, I'd like to do beans and other low-acid foods. Then I'll be need more of your information! Do you have the chili canning instructions posted somewhere? </em> Oh Wardeh, I am so glad that you are canning and having such a great time! You are having a great time aren’t you? :)

We grandkids were pressed into service in her basement kitchen, manually turning the food mill, carrying heavy stockpots for her, etc. It was the only canning we did. She would go to the market and return with a trunk full of Roma tomatoes that the boys carried by the bushelful into the basement. Then our work began. At the end of the effort we had a whole wall full of sauce in the pantry. She seasoned hers with fresh sprigs of basil and garlic, which has always been the only seasoning our family used in sauce, other than the meat that went into the sauce pot for flavor. I always concluded that this was the authentic, right from Naples recipe for sauce. Even though my largely americanized family doesn't prefer it that way, it's home cooking and comfort food for me, when either me or my mom makes sauce in that old family traditional way! <em>What great memories!
