    I dehydrate the skins and grind into tomato powder. Also freezing tomatoes and then thawing will have the skins slide right off, or if boiling, slice an X into the butt-end, helps the skins peel easier too.

    Would it work to keep them in crockpot on low for couple days then on warm for several hrs to cook out all the water? I sure hope so. Life happens then a debilitating migraine took out a day. So today 3rd day in crockpot ( no room in frig ) I definitely wasn't sure about freezing the sauce then useing it. Any advice welcome.

    Some great tips in this video. We have been canning tomatoes for about 20 years. Primarily Romas (or plum) tomatoes. Maybe we'll try your pressure-canning method rather than the water-bath canning method.

    Coring and peeling tomatoes is always the most tedious part. I think we'll also try the tomato corer tool that you used.

    As for doing tomato sauce many years ago we used a manual tomato sieve for doing our sauce. And then we found an electric tomato processor. That was a game-changer for making tomato sauce! We found that simply putting the whole tomatoes in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then putting them through the processor worked quickly and efficiently. Two or three passes of the dregs through the machine is all that is necessary.

    And for us, clean-up is a piece of cake. We set the machine outside on our picnic table and hose the whole mess down when we're done. The time-consuming part is reducing the sauce down, but that take time and little effort.

    Cheers

    Hi Sarah, thank you so much for all that information. I just want to ask you, do you burp all those jars everyday? And if so for how many day's do they need to be burped? 👍😉🇮🇪🍀

    Thanks so much for this video. I had a mix of tomatoes, I used this method to process them. It worked great, I ended up with 8 pints of sauce and 25 pints of juice. In the past I hated the thought of boiling off all the juice but it didn’t occur to me to pull it off and can it. I feel like I just got a big bonus from the same amount of tomatoes. We aren’t big tomato juice drinkers but I plan on using the juice as the liquid in soups.
