Really great! Thanks, love, love, love your kitchen!
Love the Melon ball tool for taking the core. Made my life easier today. Looks like a nice recipe I’ll tray another day. Thank you for sharing with a 2nd year canner.
why are you boiling the jars upside down?
I meant the core.
you have PITS in your tomatoes??? Italy must be growing some good ol’ GMO tomatoes. haha. sorry…
First person point of view. Nicely done.
I read that you are to use new lids each time, and put them in very hot water, not boiling, before putting them on the jar, or else it messes up the sealer.
Actually we did 8 bushels so it was 140 jars altogether.
Wow 70 jars …. I only canned 4 Qts & 1 Pt. this time .I have heard of big Italian family’s… but you must be feeding a small army. I did add spice & some kosher salt to the sauce & a teaspoon of salt to each jar… also 2 Tbsp of lemon juice I mashed The Tomatoes w/ a potato masher while cooking I tasted it … it was tasty will be good with Italian Sausage .
Where I am from Italy we don’t do it this way. We quarter the tomatoes and feed it through the electric machine which gets rid of the peel, pit and skin and then we add salt to the sauce which is put into jars with some basil. Once the jars are ready we put it in a big steel drum which can fit 70 jars and we light a fire, bring it up to a boil and let the jars boil for half an hour. Then we let it cool and put it away later on.
Thank you for this video I am getting ready to make & can your spaghetti sauce now I have a quick question how long did you cook the sauce for before you started to put it in the jars
Buy yourself a Roma food mill you can skip the coring and peeling,just grind away it seperates the skin and seeds.
I use fresh lemons.
Great..but no green peppers! I bottle mine in order to avoid canned food so would not add anything canned. But great video besides that.
Do not boil the lids.
You have to re-boil them to kill illness causing bacterias so the food will be shelf stable and not make you sick.
If you’ve never canned before, do some research on canning.
Thank you! So helpful indeed.
this is a great video! I can’t wait to get some tomatoes from the farm now!
People, if this video was not helpful, go to the internet and look up other answers. It’s not that hard to do, trust me.
Ive never canned before and the end of this video was not helpful. Time spent on tools was wasted. Is there something you do once they are filled? Why are they re boiled?
Lids shouldn’t be in water over 180 deg. Just saying
How long will they last?
can i can diced tomatoes from a #10 can into pint jars?
Thank you. Glad you like the video. We all have to start somewhere. I’m sure she’s a great cook. It’s sounds like you are interested in helping and learning with your wife. What a great couple project to do with each other. Years on down the road you both will be still having fun in the kitchen making memories!
buy the stuff in a jar
Baked Ziti
1 T Olive Oil
½ lb. lean ground beef
1 Cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
26-30 ounces jarred marinara sauce (prefer home made)
1 8 ounce can tomato sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
16 ounces Ziti – cooked 8 minutes and drained
15 ounces ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat, add beef, onion and garlic. Cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, and oregano. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
Combine 1 cup sauce mixture with the ziti. Spoon half of the ziti mixture into a sprayed 9 x 13x 2 casserole dish; top with all the ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, 1 cup sauce, remaining ziti mixture and remaining sauce.
Cover and bake @ 350 for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and the Parmesan. Bake uncovered 20 minutes longer or until heated through.
My grandmother used to do elbow macaroni and diced tomatoes with the juice, salt and pepper. Sounds boreing, but its really good
The quickest and easiest way is to cheat! Buy some spaghetti and a jar of pasta sauce (I use Prego) and some frozen cooked meatballs. All you need to do is boil the pasta, thaw the meatballs in the microwave and add to the sauce and simmer. (I have a toddler and a baby so this is what I usually do)
toss togeather a salad.
can of black eyed peas
can of artichoke hearts
diced tomatoes
a few squirts of italian dressing/or creamy garlic dressing
some salt and pepper
and some pasta like elbow, or go for a real salad and use torn up salad greens instead when the mood hits you.
It’s best at served alittle warm, room temp, or chilled, and even tastier if you let it sit, chill, for an hour or so.
