I core mine before I freeze them. As my tomatoes cook down I take a lot of the juice off and can that for drinking and for soups. This makes it easier to get a thicker product without the paste. Been canning for over 50 years, and warms my heart to see all you younger ladies getting into this so deeply! I have always loved preserving and sharing my knowledge with those who want to learn.

I core my tomatoes, weigh each bag and write the weight on the bag before freezing. Every step I can eliminate on canning day is time saved. LOVE the idea of adding zucchini!

Tip: we got an extra coffee grinder just for spices and peppers. And after the milling/grinding, let it sit closed for 30 mins before opening it and filling it into whatever jar you plan to keep it in.
The First time my mom made chilly powder with it and opened that up (INSIDE the kitchen) we had to flee the house for an hour. 😂
Doing it outside also helps.

I core them before freezing and make a slit in the bottom. When thawing, you can just pick skins without any trouble.

Rachel, you and your husband have become apart of my day. I enjoy your segments very much. Thank you.

[pjk]

You put up your sauce like I do.
I always add zucchini and shredded carrot in mine.
Great to stretch and add veggies for kids that don't like eating.
You can also make a base for vegetable soup that way.
Thanks for sharing. You are providing tips and bringing back important steps we forget over time.

Tip, add carrots instead of sugar for sweetness. I use my roaster to WB in too. Sooo easy. I also leave my skins for a deeper flavor, my immersion blender purees it and you never know it.

You saved my vacation! I was over run with paste tomatoes...I took your advice and popped them in the frezzer and off to the beach we went. Now I can make multiple flavors. Thanks so much

To make your powder peppers. If you have an older blender that the blade screws of the base. The blades and bottom will screw on to a reg mouth mason jar then you can screw the jar on to your blender and make your powder.

[fallenangelwi]

You can dry and powder the tomato leftovers and use that with seasoning in milk to make soup 😊

These processing videos are perfect to sit down and watch with a hot cup of coffee in hand. You go Rachel. Everything looks amazing!! Much love from South Africa. xx

Maybe I'm missing other homesteaders/gardeners but YOU are the only one i found who takes tomatoes[&other] from start to finish. Seeds to canning. All steps. Its very helpful. TY

[lindabailey]

Love watching your videos. I have been making spagjetti sauce for 40 years from a friends family recipe. All the ingredients go into the blender first skins on, in batches then pour into 2 large pots and cook down a bit and add tomato paste too. I can hide zucchini and kale and no one know they are eating it in the sauce as it is blended in. Saves several steps. I will try using a roaster in the future.

Last month I saw a woman (I keep looking for the video!) freeze her tomatoes and let them completely defrost. She poured off the juice right away and canned it as tomato juice for her husband. She also dried her skins and pulverized them to powder. Pouring off the juice right away saved a lot of cooking time in making tomato sauce.

I have a lot of frozen tomatoes in my freezer. Just waiting for more before I start a tomato project! Thank you for the videos!

[mschilepepper]

I find it’s so much more easier for me not to season any of my tomatoes before canning.
I just canned my tomatoes plain and then as I open a jar(s) I add my seasons of choice while cooking so that way, I am never tied into a specific flavor plus I never have to worry about running low or worst ran out of a specific flavor of canned tomatoes.

[nataliecartier]

I love these videos. It's my first year preserving food from my garden, so I'm super nervous. Your videos set my mind at ease. Thank you.

[sydneykasmar]

I've added cooked zuchinni mashed with a potato masher as a thickener for tomato sauce. Sometimes, I add mashed sweet potaotoes - not as much and mashed real good. An extra veggie in every meal.

[jamierodriguez]

I am so new to canning. Gardening for years but for some reason I'm just so nervous about canning. Watching you is the best to shake my nerves. You are calm and comfortable and makes me want to can right now!! But its 9 pm so I am guessing I should wait until tomorrow. Point is, I'm so glad I found your channel!!!

[loritanner]

I froze my tomatoes as I was getting them. But when I had 8 gal bags I defrosted them. Then warmed them in my roaster. Then I put them in my vitamix and ground up the seeds and skins. I did score the big ones before freezing them. It was so fast to make my sauces. I did the Mexican and the spaghetti sauces. Still going to try the cajun and a little of the curry recipe. Loved the mexican one. That was new to me this season. If anyone has a vitamix. It makes quick work on the tomatoes. Just only fill the vitamix container a third full with the hot tomatoes. Or you will have an explosion. Just Still have ripening tomatoes on the plants. So I have been going through the baskets of tomatoes every other day. That way I keep making batches of sauce with all the ripe ones. Happy canning all! 🍅

Greatest idea ever. Simple easy and quick none messy. I im thankful for you and your family and your knowledge. I'm 29 and im now stable enough( not moving from home to home) to start my canning journey. Your always a go to for questions I need. Thank you so much!
