A million tomatoes

I hope this little video will run properly.  Last week Paul was invited to watch the process of canning tomato sauce, at one of our Italian friend's home.  Actually they did it in their garage.  They bottled 154 bottles of tomato sauce that night.  They used old beer bottles which they have saved up through the years and they reuse them every year for making tomato sauce.  It was quite a production.  Aunts and uncles, kids and parents were all in on the event.  Some were washing the tomatoes, others were putting them through some sort of slicer that sliced them up a bit, then they put them through a juicer, which removed the skins, and then they filled the bottles, and then they capped them, and then they put them in an 80 gallon barrel and covered them in water,  and then they heated it with a gas burner for several days to get all the barrel full of water and 154 bottles to boil.
