Ingredients: |
Ingredients: Roma Tomatoes - (I use a portion of the 4 cases that are 25 LBS each to put aside for peeled tomatoes). So, maybe start off doing a 1/2 of a case and see if you need to do more.
Bay leaves - to insert in the jar for flavor and decoration.
NOTE: I use pint and quart size jars for peeled tomatoes.
IN PROCESSING TOMATOES FOR THE SEASON:
1) USE THE FRESH TOMATOES (ALL TYPES FROM YOUR GARDEN) FOR PEELED TOMATOES.
2) USE THE FROZEN (CLEANED AND DEVEINED, QUARTERED) FOR PIZZA SAUCE.
3) USE THE PAST PRIOR TWO YEARS PEELED TOMATOES FOR MAKING MARINARA SAUCE. EXAMPLE: IT’S 2024 AND YOU HAVE 2022 ON YOUR SHELF - TIME TO REINVENT IT - SO SAUCE!
4) WHEN USING STORE BOUGHT CASES OF ROMA TOMATOES - GET OUT THE ELECTRIC STRAINER MACHINE. DON’T HAVE TO USE THE HAND MILLING MACHINE. NOW MAKE A LOT OF MARINARA OR JUST TOMATO SAUCE.

Directions: |
Directions:1) Wash the whole tomatoes a couple of times - put in a big stock pot, cover the tomatoes with water and lid.
2) Let it come to a boil and wait for the skins of the tomato to crack. Remove with a slotted spoon and put it to rest in a colander w/bowl for the water to drip off.
3) Get a cooking sheet and put a cutting board in it. Need a paring knife also to cut out the tomato stem and remove the peel.
4) Place the prepared tomato into a colander w/bowl for remaining water drips.
5) After you have filled a bowl with prepared tomatoes - sprinkle with some salt and squeeze the tomatoes a little bit. OR add a 1/2 tsp of salt per pint jar; 1 teaspoon salt to each quart jar (I USE THIS METHOD). ALSO add 1 tablespoon of bottled juice to each pint jar; 2 tablespoons of bottled juice to each quart jar.
6) Make sure your canning jars are clean and sanitized.
7) Put the prepared tomatoes into the jar - after filling half way - put a piece of BASIL for flavor in the jar. Continue filling the jar.
8) Pints and quarts get processed at 1 hour and 25 minutes in a boiling water canner. |
