 +===== Tomato canning procedure ======
  
 +The process we have standardized on is:
 +
 +  - Wash and clean tomatoes
 +  - Blanch for 1 minute in boiling water
 +  - Drop into ice water for one minute
 +  - Move tomatoes to a cutting board where we:
 +    - Lop off the top
 +    - Cut in half or quarter (except for smaller tomatoes)
 +    - Cut out any green part in the center
 +    - Peal off the skin
 +    - Save in a bowl
 +  - Stuff and mash tomatoes into sterilized jars.
 +  - Fill to a point with liquid (water or tomato juices)
 +  - Seal with the lids
 +  - Cook in boiling water (35 minutes for pint, 45-50 minutes for a quart)
 +  - Remove and allow jars to seal (top goes “ping” when it’s done
 +  - Allow to cool
 +  - Wash jars and store in the canning cabinet
 +
