[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 550319, member: 1233"] Fran, I am right there wth you in your promise to NEVER can tomatoes. Several times over the years I would be at my aunt's when she had stuff to can. Two separate years I was not fast enough or whiny enough to get out of it and ended up trying to slide skin off of boiling hot balls of semisolid acid. I had VERY sensitive skin and ended up with acid burns from my fingers to elbows (from the dripping juice). top that off with first being yelled at for 'whining' and then a few hours later being yelled at for not telling anyoen that the tomato juice burned my skin to the elbows and I was DONE. The morning after that fiasco I sat down iwht my mom and aunt and informed them that if they EVER attempted to make me can tomatoes again then I would devote myself to finding every creatively obnoxious thing to do that was possible and I would make them completely miserable and afraid to even wonder what I would do next. My mom did some canning when we were kids. She was canning grape jelly one day and uncle came in and startled her just as she was moving the pot of hot jelly to the table to be put into jars. She dropped the ENTIRE pan. A giant pan that was quite full. That kitchen was COVERED with grape jelly. Couple of years later she was canning spaghetti sauce with a different aunt than the tomatoe aunt. I was never sure waht happened this time, but once again the pot of stuff to be canned got dropped and it coated the ENTIRE kitchen. We had to pull out appliances and baseboards, and we STILL found some spots of it years later when we redid some of the kitchen! Lisa, I am amazed and very impressed! Great Job!!! [/QUOTE]
