I have nearly 100 quarts of tomatoes canned from tomatoes grown in my own garden this season. I control my food from seed to mouth in all manners and all steps. I can't say the same for bandage-filled cans of tomatoes from the store.

>only 40 quarts

That should be about 10-15 hours tops if you are really slow, 8-10 hours for normal speed, but unless you have a huge canner or set of canners, you'll never get below 6 hours. If you have two large canners on the stove (14 quarts at one time), the water bath time will be about 4 hours. The extra 2 hours is just prep work before the first bath and moving jars in and out of the canners. This is only for canning tomatoes without rending them into sauce or paste first. Sauce/paste packs on tons of hours and is best done in the winter when you need to heat the house anyway.

My main sauce tomato is Italian Red Pear. My main dehydrated tomato is Yellow Pear.
