Step 2: Plunge said tomatoes into a bowl of ice cold water
Step 3: Peel off the skin and cut off the stem, etc. (put that stuff in a bucket for your chickens)
Step 4: Blend baby blend
Step 5: Mix tomato puree with some sugar and spice and everything nice
Step 6: Bring to a boil, then decrease heat and simmer for 25 minutes
Step 7: Put sauce into hot mason jars, let out bubbles, then cap them
Step 8: Put mason jars into a "water bath" - (that just means a big pot of boiling water) for 40 minutes
Step 9: Take the mason jars out of the water bath and check to make sure they have a good seal
Step 10: Label them (this is very important...relish, salsa and spaghetti sauce basically look the same)
All in a days work!
I would love to do this! What a rock star you are :)
ReplyDeleteSomeday you should let us know exactly what the "sugar and spices" are that you use!
I would also like to know what the sugar and spices are!!! I have a huge box full of tomatoes and would love to do spaghetti sauce that I can do in the "water-bather" since I don't have a pressure cooker. If you would like to share, please email me at bosephis@aol.com. Thanks.
