Canning dreams...

4 out of 5 isn't bad.  I received a ton of helpful advice from family and friends about last night's mishap. However, I do feel that the jar may have been flawed, well, along with my overfilling. My mother-in-law suggested I freeze the extra bit of tomatoes, so I'm not tempted to overfill. I'll remember that for next time. Our diced tomatoes look yummy and ready to eat whenever I need that little extra. There are also a ton of tomatoes still on the vine ready to be canned into salsas and sauces soon enough.
