Fresh heirloom tomatoes are the jewels of a summer garden. They are delicious right off the vine and sustain the gardener with their juicy sun energy. Tomatoes have become a staple in our diets and it is hard to leave them out of our meals once they are no longer in season. The best way to continue eating local tomatoes year round is to tuck them neatly into jars! You will learn several versatile ways to preserve local heirloom and dry farmed tomatoes, including Happy Girl's famed tomato juice. What a delight to go into your cupboard on a cold, winter day and dip into a little summer in a jar!

"Amazing! I am at my desk at work so I didn't want to sound too strange to my colleagues, but I remember telling my mother-in-law that it changed my life. I drank a whole can in about 25 minutes, and I think I made an audible glowing comment after every sip. I'm not Guardian but I am a foodie from NYC who lives right by the Union Square Green Market and I have never tasted anything quite like that spicy tomato juice! Well done!" - Jonathan Simmons
