I would have been a straight A student in high school if you had been my teacher ! Love your videos! Very thorough. Easy to understand everything you teach! Thank you!!

Thanks for the video. Canned 48 jars of tomatoes so far. The reason Arnold Palmer was so successful was he would go to his original golf teacher every spring and revisit all of the basics, EVERY year. God Bless, stay safe

I did this first time this month. 2 bushels. I loved it. Proper procedures and set up make it flow easily even in a small urban kitchen.

Getting my 4th batch of the season tomorrow!

As a kid, my dad, who was raised during the Depression, couldn't resist the call of 4 to 5 bushels of tomatoes (or beans, etc.). Definitely an all day affair. But lots of beautiful jars of food for winter.

You are a wonderful teacher. Love this video! You explain EVERYTHING and that is so important to not only first time canners, but also to us who have to refresh our memories each year. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide all this instruction. Hope you have a great day!

I wonder how you store pumpkin seeds. I saw nothing on freeze drying or dehydrating. I have mylar bags and canning jars -- What do you suggest?

Why is peeling the skins off the tomatoes?

[dutchcourage]

Now it might be the type of tomato, but i tend to deskin in the following manner, take a knife and make a small X cut on the top and bottom of the tomato (so that you at least pierce some of the red, especially on the top), then put the tomatoes in water that just got off of a boil (or pour the boiling water over them), then let them sit for a bit until you see the cuts extend by the heat... Then pour off the water, and put the whole under a cold tap, rinse 2x, then take off the skins like you would peal a banana. Then i tend to cut them in 1/2 and de-core each halve, then cut in how ever many pieces.

So my question would be, do i need to do the boil and ice method for another reason, or is getting the skin off (and core out) the only purpose of this step?
And again, it might be that the method i use doesn't work on all tomatoes, and if you are doing a lot of batches that might use a lot of water (I use it this way to make one batch of tomato saus for pasta), so doing it with the boiling and ice might be a better workflow for various other reasons. My question remains though ;)

Isn't it that you don't have to sterilize jars if you are PRESSURE canning for 10 minutes or more? Water bathing, you should always sterilize your jars as it doesn't get hot enough to kill the bacteria.

[jumpoffa]

Always sterilize your jars before canning. You never want to sterilize while canning because a mold or bacterium may survive and contaminate your product. Take it from a Master Canner. :-)
