Making Tomato PASTE From Tomato SCRAPS! This Is Our Recipe To Make Shelf Stable Canned Tomato Paste

A number of years ago, we taught ourselves how to transform the skins, seeds and cores from our canned tomatoes into a thick and rich home canned tomato paste. This homemade tomato paste can be used in the same ways that you would use tomato paste that you would buy in the grocery store. It's a great way to reduce waste from your tomato canning adventures.

I started learning how to can last year. I ran across your video and started saving the tomato slop instead in of throwing it in the trash. I didn't feel comfortable canning by myself, so I made tomato paste with your instructions, put about 6 oz into each baggie and put them in the freezer. I used them making soup through the winter. It turned out great. I appreciate that you did a video showing how to do it without fancy kitchen gadgets. I don't have them, nor do I want to have them. To think I had been throwing away a quite a bit of money 🤦‍♀️ Not to mention, I'm sure my home-grown tomatoes are much better than the store bought paste. Thank you so much!

I love home ingenuity. Taking what would be waste and turning into something yummy for consumption is excellent. Thank you.

I've done it this way several times, then I got lazy and stopped running everything thru the strainer, instead I just used an immersion blender and blended the skins into the sauce, it makes the sauce instantly thick... I love it and I do can it even tho (the way I do it) isn't an 'approved' recipe... next time give it a try in a small batch...see if you like it.

HI .. I just subscribed to your Channel. I did a lot of fruit canning this year and dehydrated the tomato skins. I plan to try your tomato sauce next year!!! thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to viewing your channel for other great ideas. Well Done!!

What a 👍 great sauceome video!!! I am kicking myself for not saving 😪 the seeds n peels. At least they went into the compost!!!

[HickorycroftFarm]

Great video. We do this too, but in the oven :) so much better then store bought paste.

[zellasreviewsandthoughts]

I tryed this and it went great 👍 so much fun

Only problem is probably the energy consumption. It needs to boil quite a long time (plus canning). Also: a food mill would make the work far easier.
I probably also would lactoferment the whole thing.

[OakKnobFarm]

Great thrifty tip! We usually give our skins to the chickens, but I might try this

Lovely & useful video. I am on my 2nd frozen shoulder and it is due to high oxalates found in seeds. Just wouldn't want anyone else to go through what I have had to deal with. 1st the right, then the left. Blessings and THANK YOU!

I heard a cat in the background there fellow cooks and cat lovers. Glad to hear it.

[CHARISSAJACOBSON]

I SO appreciate that you showed how to do this with a strainer. I don't even have a strainer lol but I do plan to get one soon.

[thebibletrain]

Well you got one on me I never made this. Great work.

[Mondhase]

Wow, I never would have thought that there's enough stuff left in just the skins to make such paste. That's awesome 😍now I need to gather all my tomato skins for a while in the freezer 😅need to try this😁👍👍

WOW!! just WOW!!! I have been curious about how to make paste and now I know, it's a process but the results...Amazing!!! TY!! I have only been canning for 3 yrs and the first 2yrs I didn't add any thing to the sauce (followed a youtube recipe and pressure canned) it was Awesome. This yr I added lemon juice because I read my canning book. One can didn't seal...hated it. The lemon juice threw the flavor off, did I eat it too soon?
