Thank goodness for Nicolas Appert and his 1809 invention of the hermetically sealed container. Without his contributions to the canning industry we would never be able to enjoy gifts from friends of tomatoes that taste like the southern summer sun while we await a winter snowstorm eight hundred miles away. 🍅 Cheers to @augustaastr1000 @plumaelliot for the pickled perfections and to Nicolas for making all this possible. . . . . . #canning #pickledgreentomatoes #homecanning #canningandpreserving #giftsfromthegarden #preservingfood https://www.instagram.com/inthevintagekitchen/p/CYZ544UJ63S/?utm_medium=tumblr
