This is our third year in having our own garden and in my gardening life I have never seen such big tomatoes! They are beautiful and I am not a big tomato lover. My husband and I are so happy with our skills that it must be documented.
Here is the biggest one! A picture cannot do it justice. I would say you could come over and see it yourself but it has already been bottled.
Out beautiful bottled tomatoes
The spaghetti made from the beautiful bottled tomatoes. My mother as long as I can remember has been bottling tomatoes. She uses her stewed tomatoes in many ways. She makes goulash, lasagna, spaghetti or anytime a recipe calls for stewed tomatoes. Today I am going to share my mom's spaghetti sauce with you. It is very simple and delicious.
Mom's Spaghetti Sauce
1 lb ground hamburger
1 quart tomatoes, I drain about half of the liquid so the spaghetti is not watery.
1- 6 oz can tomato paste
2- 8 oz. tomato sauce
1 packet of spaghetti seasoning
1 can of mushrooms, drained (optional)
Brown hamburger and drain then add the rest of ingredients; bring to a boil and then simmer until your spaghetti noodles are done.

Wow, those tomatoes are huge! They look delicious, and what a yummy sounding sauce.
what I would give to have that fortune with growing tomatoes - gets too hot and humid down here - thanks for sharing...
I love tomatoes, and I should really bottle them... Next year!
I love all your bottles, and your pasta dish sounds delicious!
Happy Friday! :)
Those are beautiful tomatoes. Congratulations!
We also have a bumper crop of tomatoes but the lack of sun meant many failed to ripen. Here's a trick I picked up. Cut the remaining tomatoes fro the plant ( but leave attached to the vine), pop inside a brown bag with an old banana. Bingo! ripe tomatoes!
What a great harvest of tomatoes! I had to buy mine this year, but still made plenty of spaghetti sauce and salsa.
