I admire your perseverance. I use a spaghetti sauce with meat recipe, but since I no longer have a garden I use commercially canned tomatoes so I do it in one day.

I tend to break up my tomao making. I also tend to save it for during the winter when the extra heating of the kitchen is more welcome than in warmer months. So I freeze them till I want to make a batch. I use my 6 quart instant pot to make sauce, and tend to make 4-5 quarts at a time. Most for canning, some for dinner. Use the slow cooker function overnight for making, and use the saute to heat it up the extra for filling jars. I can in 4oz, 8oz, and 16 oz jars, so depending on what I need, I'll can that size jars.

I did big batch during the summer a couple times years ago. Remembered I didn't like it any more than when I was a kid, heh. So I transitioned to how I do it now.

It's admirable you still do all that!

I'm not your age yet, but even approaching 60 I notice I'm slowing down. I still have a lot of energy and get a lot done, I just don't accomplish things as quickly.

I admire you, too. You’re good to recognize you can break the job down into chunks so you can still do something you enjoy!
