Canning
preserve (food) in a can
The process of canning is not as mundane as I would expect. From the beginning- fresh roma tomatoes- to the end, there are a heck load of work to do in order to successfully preserve food. In this case, I diced, boiled, and smashed my 2.0 kg roma tomatoes into 4 mason jars filled with tomato sauce.

When canning, it is important to check and make sure your jars/cans are sealed properly to prevent the growth of microbes.
Here are a few tricks I learned:
1) Tap the lid; it should make a clear ringing sound
2) Press the lid; nothing should happen or bounces back
3) Observe: it should have a concave shape
