How I Make Homemade Tomato Sauce! Canning My 2023 Tomato Harvest!

Hey Guys! Welcome back to another video! Today I'm sharing my tomato processing day! This is the bulk of the tomatoes I harvested from my backyard garden this year! I did can up a good amount of salsa and also crushed tomatoes this year as well but most are grown for making into SAUCE!!! This is my 4th year making homemade tomato sauce. This day is a long one but so rewarding! THIS TOOK 6 MONTHS IN THE MAKING!!! From seed to processing day, half the year has been devoted to growing tomatoes. Hope you enjoy!

Our Italian family just finished processing our tomatoes. We actually have the same brand tre Spade, it is an Italian brand from Italy, it is pricy but we have had ours for at least a decade. We get together and do it as a family, since we process a minimum of 150 quarts. 3 generations working together to preserve tomato sauce for the year. Yes even the kiddies help out.

I saw on another channel ( I think the Honeystead ) she took the peelings & seeds freeze dried them then turned it into a powder. She then rehydrated the powder to make her tomato paste. She went on to say that’s how it’s commercially done. She said it worked wonderfully & will never throw out the perks & seeds again. Maybe it’s something you can try next year.

I never thought of freezing the tomatoes to save for a later date, Good idea..I end up making batches once a week..
Tomatoe plants and peppers will go dormant once temperatures get over 85 degrees..Try using a 40% shade cloth on those hot days to keep those temps down on the tomatoes. It made a world of a difference for me..

I just want you to know you are the best homesteader on you tube, I love your content and I love watching your numbers grow everyday! You should be so proud Bre. Thank you and keep on growing! Pun definitely intended!😊😊

I have a juicer strainer for my kitchen aid and I use it with them fresh the garden and reduce by 1/2.

My canning journey started just like yours. Now I’m looking to get a steamer/juicer. I have an apple tree and I would love to make juice. I love your electric press…that may be on my wish list too! Great video.

Thank you for making this video! This is fantastic. I grew 60 lb this year of San marzano's and this gives me an a good idea how many jars I can expect

[jackiek]

Loved this video! Love how you teach things so simply and to the point! 😍💕

absolutely amazing thanks for sharing :)

You don't need to add citric acid to tomato sauce. It has enough naturalacid from the tomatoes.

I have so far made 32 pints of salsa. I’m going to work on sauce in small batches soon!

[shellakers]

Thank you! I completely agree about purchasing a really good, heavy bottom stock pot for canning and for long cook times. I still don't have a tomato press though! I don't know why. I think you inspired me to make that purchase! 😊

[MeBeingAble]

Fyi...That juice youre tipping out could be canned for soup starter, rice water etc❤

[richelleg]

I'm so glad I used your system of freezing tomatoes! I never would have had enough for a canning day if I hadn't! A little jealous of your press, because I did my whole day with the old school sieve and spatula😭. I went from noon to 7am 😴. Mixture of wrong varieties(my starts blew over, mixed up the romas and sweet 100's, and gave away my extras) and thinking I would simmer out the liquid to keep nutrients made the process way longer, but definitely a learning experience that made me really appreciate the inventions that came along to help us canning today! Fancy electric models are a bit above my price range, but I'll probably be investing in a food mill before next harvest! Or maybe sooner if I do applesauce again this year 🤔. Anyway, thank you for sharing your process!!!

So can you give some recipes for when making like spaghetti? What to add seasoning wise to the jars when you do pasta?pizza?

[karriemb]

That’s what I’m canning yesterday and today!!! I will have 12 quarts!! And I also canned 12 pints of tomato purée!!

I don’t understand the need for the citric acid. I’m actually in the middle of canning tomatoes myself. I blister mine and boiling water to remove the skin some up. Cook them down, run them through the tomatoes skimmer then back on the stove to reduce. When they’re done reducing and while it’s still boiling, I fill my jars and seal them. I haven’t lost a jar yet fact I opened one that I did this way two years ago couple days ago and it was delicious.

[sistermaryam]

❤ Great job. I think you are missing a part on your tomato press. There is usually a splash guard. Also, those seeds are great for your chickens 🐓 it helps their digestion
