Too Many Tomatoes!

Oh, my gosh, the tomatoes are ripe already!  Usually I don't get ripe tomatoes until early September, but it's mid-August and I have enough to can a batch. So  I used some fresh basil from my one and only basil plant to make pesto, which went into this tomato, mozzarella and pesto sandwich -- there's one tomato down and who knows how many to go!  For complete instructions on how to can tomatoes using the boiling water bath method, click here. I use a pressure cooker to can tomatoes because I think it's easier, and you can refer to the instructions that come with your pressure cooker on how to do that. I use my home-canned tomatoes in soups, spaghetti sauce, and chili.
