Tomatoes starting to come out our ears

Our tomato plants have really kicked into major production (finally…the season’s always really late in my garden). Last weekend I canned 6 quarts of spaghetti sauce. Tonight I did 8 more of stewed tomatoes. I also decided it was time to get a good ceramic knife for cutting all the tomatoes. Sometime back we’d been at a cooking class and tried a ceramic knife. They work really well and are definitely a useful tool to have when chopping lots of tomatoes. I hope they’re sturdy and it lasts a while. Definitely looks fragile.
I guess if I’d have stewed the tomatoes a bit longer they wouldn’t have separated? I usually put them in soups and other soupy things and didn’t want them to be cooked down too much.
As we fall asleep the jars are popping shut.
