CAA Photo of the Week: “George canning tomato juice on the AGA!” by Melinda

This week’s photo of the week is by Melinda, AKA myeltsu, of tomato canning. Since the CAA has grown, it’s been fascinating to see how dynamic and varied our community is! Melinda, the photographer, is also a museum historian, bread baker, cook, gardener, art researcher, and sometime canner. George, pictured here, is an archaeologist, bibliophile, author and editor of books on the Maya (one of which is Palenque), sometime farmer, and tomato juice maker.

Through Melinda’s pictures and captions, we also learn a little bit of food history. If you’re into this too, check out the biography of Nicolas Appert, the 19th c. Frenchman considered the father of canning.

Thank you for sharing your pictures, Melinda!
