And I Didn't Even Get Botulism

We had one bad-ass tomato crop this year. Check it: one even grew a nose!
Anyway, after making as much fresh salsa as we could eat, Kristin and her sister decided to can the rest.

We've got salsa...
...and spaghetti sauce.
For hours after tightening the lids on the jars we kept hearing the "pop" of them sealing themselves. It was awesome. Pop. "YESSSSS!"

Apparently, improper canning is the leading cause of Botulism in America. Since they'd never canned anything before, they were mildly concerned. We needn't have worried. We recently made some lasagna made with our spaghetti sauce and not only was it delicious, we didn't get sick and die. Score!
