This pizza sauce looks so good thanks for sharing your spice tweeks!!

A few years ago I froze about 50 lbs of tomatoes and canned them later, but I thought the texture and taste was off. I have seen many homesteaders use this method so I think next season I will try it again. It could have been something I was doing wrong. Your sauce looks so good and I like that thickness level as well. I don't know how your sweater stayed so clean. When I'm canning anything, especially tomatoes, my clothes and kitchen are a mess. 😁 Thanks for sharing another great recipe. Have a good weekend!

Hello and good morning.
Thank you for walking us through what you do.
When it says salt, is it referring to canning salt? I am a newbie & I can't seem to find how many half pint jars this makes for.
Just to give me an idea.
Thank you kindly.

How long in a water canner versus pressure canner for the pizza sauce. It looks delicious.

[carlaesmat]

Why not pressure Canning this sauce? Thanks for the video! Greetings from Belgium

[pennyhibbard]

Do you measure the weight of the tomatoes in the bags before freezing, or after they are thawed? The sauce looks delicious!

[corrinar]

Thanks for sharing. Sounds delicious. I don’t see the recipe below? Maybe I’m not looking properly lol

[pennyhibbard]

I thought you may have mentioned where or what brand roaster pan you have. I looked but didnt see where you may have purchased. Thank you so much.

Hi from Ecuador, what’s the shelf life expected? Thanks 😊

[princessmommy]

3rd video of yours and im loving your style.. also, where is your beautiful green sweater from? I need it! 😊

[pennybelle]

I need to can some pizza sauce too! Thanks for sharing. Very timely! I must have missed it, but what was the yield?

Great video! I'm extremely new to canning. I actually bought the new nessco 9.5qt pressure canner to help me learn. One of the first things I want to do is make pizza sauce. My question for you is can you substitute the salt with 50/50 salt? I'm a diabetic so watching sugar and salt is big for me. I just don't know how that affects things when it comes to canning. I don't want to poison my family obviously lol.
