I see your Mom must have used the same tomato canning/cooking book that my Mom did. Stewed tomatoes - were awful.
I thought about putting in her casket as she loved that book - and so no one could ever ever cook from it. My sister took and kept.
I miss my Mom - she died a few years ago. I don’t miss those tomatoey weapons of mass destruction.
My Mom passed away 2 weeks ago. Still coming to terms with it.
“I don’t miss those tomatoey weapons of mass destruction.”
Possibly related to Andy Griffith’s Aunt Bee’s pickles, or as Barney Fife called them, “kerosene pickles”?
