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 love this so much. I'm italian too but I was an orphan so missed out on big family activities like this. Can't wait to one day do this with my future family/children.

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.

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

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.

@shellakers10 10 ай бұрын

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! 😊

You will love it if you do! Makes things so much easier!

@richelleg225 10 ай бұрын

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!!!

@itsbreellis 10 ай бұрын

Ive defiantly had my far share of learning experiences while canning as well! I couldn't agree more, I imagine how hard it had to be back in the day to do this stuff. Its still not easy today! A food mill is game changer. It was my first expensive preserving purchase once I knew I was going to stick to canning!

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

That is awesome! Its crazy the amount it takes to make tomato products! Gave me a whole new perspective!

@allthingslife2967 11 күн бұрын

Bre, what kind of food mill are you using and where did you buy it? I'm looking for something similar.

@sistermaryam8204 10 ай бұрын

❤ 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

@itsbreellis 10 ай бұрын

Mine never came with anything else to it, a splash guard would be nice though! It doesn't splash to much, but it would come in handy!

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

@lindalinda-tn7bp 9 ай бұрын

Nice work! What is the brand of your tomato press and how much does it cost, thank you!

@HeatherG0707 10 ай бұрын

Could you give some of the skins and seeds to the chickens?

@steffi0edge 5 ай бұрын

How long do they store for?

@amanimotto 10 ай бұрын

Bre, what was Citric acid for and did you have to wait for sauce to cool before putting in jars? How long to keep in jars after cooking before removing the screw top? Thanks you. I cant wait to make my own from all my tomatoes just sitting out there in my garden and that was after I gave up so much to friends 🧒

@itsbreellis 10 ай бұрын

Citric acid just makes sure the acidity level is safe to can the tomatoes. You actually keep the sauce hot the whole time. I tend to let a minimum of 12 hours go by before messing with my jars at all.

@lisablake4237 6 ай бұрын

You can give the tomato scraps to the chickens, they ove it.

Hey Bre - I made my own Tomato sauce, and it was the best Spaghetti I have ever made What does Citric acid do? So flavoursome Subscribed

@AnonJess 11 күн бұрын

The citric acid is to ensure the tomatoes are acidic enough to be water bath canned. If they were more alkaline, they would require pressure canning, which is a whole different process. Hope this helps!

VERY NICE indeed!!! I would love to have an electric grinder, but I opted for a good hand crank grinder sieve, just in case there was no electric. I dunno, maybe I'm just being overly scrupulous. Those things aren't cheap as everyone knows. I wish I was as organized as you though. When I'm canning and processing tomatoes, I'm looking more like springtime in pakistan

What are the best tomatoes to grow to make sauce

@itsbreellis 10 ай бұрын

I stick to mostly romas, any paste variety will do best!

You need to buy a shield or get you husband to maje one.. i am suprised the press did not cone with one. No wo der it makes a mess. Just imaging how much sauce goes to waste over the years.

@xxxxKAYLEIGHoooo 10 ай бұрын

Using/drying the pulp (tomato skins + seeds) is not worth your time and effort? Wow, it's a bit sobby but ok, you do you 😀 I put all the pulp in a dehydrator and if the skins + seeds are snap dry, I blitz it up into a tomato powder. If you mix up one spoon full of tomato powder with two or three spoons of water, you get a nice thick tomato paste which got all the intense flavors of the tomatoes and can be used to create pasta sauce, etc. from scratch. Why buying tomato paste if you got it already and it would go to waste otherwise?
