Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
from Gary 8/13.- It takes about 2 medium tomatoes to make a cup.
The idea is not to make it seedless, only to reduce the fluids, this will reduce the seeds but there should still be seeds in the preserves
I didn't boil quite long enough and it was a bit runny and it made 7 jars.
Boyhood recipe. It was never my favorite as a boy, but I grew to like it as I got older. It is something just a bit different. - Gary 7/21/2013 Author: Grandma Hanna, Ruth Gribbell's mother An old family recipe that needs to be preserved, [pardon the pun]
