What is not to love about this idea. Aw crap I forgot that I invited the Whozits over tonight. OH! We have "Brushetta in a Jar"! Now this social occasion is fun AND easy again! phew!
This recipe was my 3rd canning attempt and I'm still sticking to the water bath methodology. I went to the Farmer's Market and got 10 pounds of plum tomatoes. The hardest part of this recipe is cutting up 10 pounds of plum tomatoes. But do as I did and work while having SNL in the background - it makes your work more fun and I am pretty sure each time you laugh, more joy is put in the jar so you are sure to have an even bigger hit when serving this up on social occasions.
How to put more funny in your food.
The gravy was extremely easy to boil and this entire process was completed in less than 3 hours, with an hour of that being I have to boil my jar in batches of 4. So it could be less if you have more equipment.
Tomorrow I will stop to purchase some crusty bread for the big taste test - fingers crossed!

Makes about 7 (8 oz) half pints
What could be more welcoming than warm, freshly toasted homemade bruschetta? Just spoon these zesty tomatoes onto a toasted baguette and garnish with grated cheese and a splash of olive oil, if desired.
