My friends mum has already said that this year she will teach us both how to do it so I look forward to that.
My mom and grandmother always canned tomatoes, as long as your jars and lids are sterilized by boiling them in water and your jar lids are sealed then there should be no concern with contamination. It is actually really easy to jar foods, just abit time consuming. Making relish and jam is super easy too.
