I’m so glad that you did the stuffed peppers. when I see everyone showing their beautiful peppers that are coming out of their garden and they’re chopping them and putting them in the freezer I keep thinking they should stuff them and freeze for later. Great new idea. Haven’t seen anyone else do this in the challenge. My mom always cut the tops off.
Why type of roaster do you have?
I found your channel and I am really enjoying your content. I really appreciate you don’t overwhelm yourself trying to get it all done in one day. I’m a fan.
I know you were using your time efficiently, but here's a thought for doing your next batch. Sometimes (again, when time allows) as my tomatoes are thawing in the roaster, I ladle off the tomato juice and can it separately rather than boiling it off. I love to use tomato juice instead of water in recipes. Works great for boiling pasta too as the pasta absorbs the mild flavor and hopefully all the nutrition! Good for rice too, as well as many instant pot recipe that doesn't have enough liquid ingredients so I use the juice instead of water or broth. Oh, and for folks adding the seeds to their compost… you might want to make sure your compost actually gets up to the temp that renders the seeds infertile. Apparently mine didn't last year, so I have a TON of volunteers. The compost looked broken down and rich, but I kid you not, every pot and raised bed had so many volunteers that it would have killed my intended seedlings had I not pulled them! I'm sure I had almost a thousand. Normally I am thrilled with a volunteer tomato plant and cheer it on, but now I see another one and I'm like "oh cr*p, here's another &$#! one!" LOL They pull too many nutrients when left with some other plants, so I've had no choice pulling them. I'd feel better about it if I had space to plant them all out or if I could feed them to my chickens, but instead it has just made me a seed nazi this year, making sure they don't make it into the compost, at least until we can rectify our compost issues.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR FOR SHARING YOUR INSIGHT AND KNOWLEDGE AND MADE IT SIMPLE ONLY BECAUSE OF YOUR OUT GOING PERSONALITY THAT MAKES US VIEWERS FEEL AT EASE IM SO READY TO SEE MORE DELICIOUS RECIPES
OMG! I have the Ball Brand food mill. I purchased it last year, and I thought that was amazing! I had to stop and clean out the mesh sieve several times for processing, which was a bummer! I just purchased this mill! I am so excited! Thank you!
If you are pressure canning why do you have to add the acid? You can pressure can non-acidic foods. I am asking because I have been wondering for my own upcoming canning. Thank you!
Try putting your pulp in a pan of water and swishing it around with your hand and see if the seeds will settle mostly to the bottom and you might be able to get most of the skins out.
I got my 23 quart Presto canner last week for my birthday. Did my first canning today! Six quarts of homemade chicken stock. As always, you inspired me!! Keep the amazing content coming!!
Have you ever tried drying out all of the skins once you get the rest pulled out for tomato powder?
lol love how your husband 'video-bombed' you with cleaning that baseball glove!!! LOL 😀
You are one of my happy places to watch.
Why do you have to add citric acid if pressure canning?
I thought you only had to for water bath
I had a machine like yours except it was hand cranked and I loved it so much. When I was in my early seventies, I moved into a new home with my daughter into a mother-in-law suite in town but still on 1 acre. I got rid of all my gardening and canning things in a yard sale and practically gave the machine away. I was convinced I wasn't about to use it ever again. Well now 15 years later, I have a great SMALL garden and have rediscovered my love of canning, dehydrating, and anything else related to gardening. Thanks to YT videos like yours, I'm so happy to be busy all day. I MISS my tomato squisher more than I ever dreamed possible. I certainly recommend your to anyone that cans tomatoes! Getting ready to can the quadrupled recipe for grape jelly. Have so many that next year I plan to learn how to make wine – always new things to learn. How are your bees doing?
I would love it if you did a cheese class.
Great video. I really appreciated your in depth explanation and safe way to make your tomato sauce. Your step-by-step instructions are really great for newbie canners like me and I learned so much. Thank you 😊
Would love to see cheese making videos in the future!
