**** About Living Traditions Homestead ****

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.

We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

I'm 62 yrs old and tomorrow will be my first try at canning. Your video has been a God sent. If this come out good I will try my hand at other things to can.

Your tomatoes were beautiful! One trick a lot of canners use to thicken the sauce if you don't want to make juice (or take time to reduce) is to add cans of organic tomato paste. Works great! Another way to do sauce, which is SO easy, is to core the tomatoes, put them open side down in baking pans with 2" sides, pour a little olive oil over all the tomatoes, season and put them in a 350º oven. You can also add onions and peppers to them if you want. Bake for about 1-1/2 hours. Let cool a little. Put them in the blender (skins & all) and add to stock pot for heating. It's all ready then to can! Very easy.

those tomatoes are unbelievable. When you slice that one and half wow I just wanted to grab a little bit of salt and sit in the middle of your kitchen floor and eat while I listen to your sweet voice talk. bless you

Since your husband likes sliced tomatoes, you can actualay can tomato slices using the salt water method. Slice them normally and put the slices in a wide mouth canning jar. Put into each jar a teaspoon of salt. Fill the jars with cold water, put jar rings on and boil them for about 8 minutes. They stay firm and can be used all year long for stewing, frying or just on a hamburger as you would slice a fresh tomato.

I have the kitchenaid attachment that separated seeds and skins from the juice and pulp. makes tomato sauce easily. just wash and place tomatoes in shoot and walla!!! Easiest method ever.

It must truly be a blessing to have a partner that shares your interests and passions.

Thank you again for hosting the canning party. I am a visual learner so this format is a great help.

We use an outdoor propane burner and a crawfish pot to water bath in. The largest one we have will hold about thirty quarts and about forty-five pints at a time. The burner brings the water up to a rolling boil much faster than even the turbo burner on my stove top, and we are doing it outside on the porch so we don't heat up the house. When it is done, we set the jars out on a towel on the porch to cool before bringing inside.

i’m australian and a 17 year old outer city kid but spent a lot of time in the country with my cousins growing up and it has been my dream since i was a kid to move out and start a self sufficient farm. your channel is really helpful. thank you!

[pattihabby]

Good Morning !!!  I like your idea of taking out the tomato "water" !  I'm one that simmers my tomatoes down for hours !!!  But as far as your skins and seeds, I run everything through my Vitamix/blender.  The vitamins and minerals stay in the sauce and that's a bonus !  You would never know they are in there and No Waste ...Thank You for posting your video !

[rogerhuber]

Don't you love the sweet music of the lids popping as they cool! LOL

[PrairieMom]

Just made 13 jars of sauce and 3 jars of juice. I chopped, hand seeded and then machine pureed the raw tomatoes (in food processor), boiled them for 45 min to one hour, then canned them. Processed them in water canner. Added lemon juice, 1/4 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp salt to each pint. Thanks for this video Sarah.

[annagemy]

Thank you so much for your awesome videos. You are such a good teacher, and explain everything in such great detail. I really enjoy watching your channel.

The crockpot works great!! Just core fresh tomatoes, cut them in large chunks, throw them in the crock pot, let them simmer overnight with the lid on. In the morning take a handheld Emersion blender, run it in the crockpot until the skin, seeds are finely ground up in the sauce. Put the lid back on leaving about 1” open at top, this allows steam to escape. Simmer on low for 6-8 hours or until desired thickness. If you want a more refined sauce run through a strainer, but I usually don’t feel the need. Then can or freeze.

[phoebemckenzie]

just a short word to tell you that i have eaten some of the eggs that i froze my hubby could not tell the difference in the frozen ones and fresh that made me very happy. thanks for you help with them.

[cynthiawaite]

Watching you for awhile that roaster is so much better

[JSears-iord]

I must have watched this ten times by now! Don't know what I would have done without you! Gid bless y'all. We bought a ten acre farm today! Please say a prayer for us.✝️

[grammyspieface]

Those are just gorgeous tomatoes, just beautiful!I can't even imagine how great they must taste, I would carry a saltshaker in the garden too! Home canned food is just so beautiful, and satisfying!

Thank you for your videos. I’m in my early 50’s and battling several chronic painful autoimmune diseases like Spondylitis and Lupus. I’ve recently been diagnosed with a blood cancer and diabetes along with some other things. My Grams always canned, but like most kids, I didn’t appreciate it at the time and learn about it. I can only eat some veggies, some fruits, chicken and fish. No gluten, little sugar, 100 carbs or less daily, no rices or potatoes. Makes making meals hard to create. I think canning will help for figuring out how to have things available to eat when I have already created meals for my family and am too tired to make myself something. You are an inspiration and such a joy.
