I think this goes along with my "June Cleaver-ness" but that's not why we did it. We had about 40 tomatoes left from scones night so this was our solution to not wasting them. For family home evening, we talked about learning, preparedness and provident living so I tied salsa making into all three. It's amazing how you can fit activities in to something spiritual! First we had homemade pizza then we split into groups, since we can't all be in the kitchen at the same time. The boys went first and in the end, were really the only ones who actually helped make it. The girls were sent to the store to buy more ingredients that we ran out of. Each batch tasted a little different, but what the heck. We only had a few jars break, not sure why that happens, but it did. They all sealed and now we have about 14 jars of salsa in the pantry!
This is what happens when the bottom of the jar breaks while in the water bath.

Did you put a towel in the bottom of your pan? That should help with the breakage. In all the jars I've canned I've only had one break.
Wow, what a great activity!
