today's endevour 1st time by myself with no help from hubby to tighten the jars so I wait patiently to hear the POPS from my stewed tomatoes fresh from my garden even the herbs added .........remember I shared a post that our lovely neighbour came over & brought us a herb garden planter. I was able to use the fresh herbs oregano & sweet basil & parsley it smells very good & this is great for soups, crock pot recipes like roast beef & any pasta dish you like. A versatile & handy thing to have stocked in your cupboard or in a Christmas basket lol
