I will say, I’ve followed Acre Homestead for quite sometime and don’t get nearly the amount of knowledge as I do here. I mean, her channel was good in the beginning, but it’s gotten to be to chaotic for me to sit through and watch. Plus she has stopped interacting with her followers when anyone has a question or comment; she just ignores a lot of people. She wasn’t like that in the beginning. So I’m very very happy to have found your channel now, it’s much more relaxing and I feel I’m gaining so much new ideas as well as actually learning things I’ve never seen before. Everyone is just so kind here, and I’m living for the aesthetics too! 😊

Your Chocolate cake sank in the middle because the batter in the center wasn't baked long enough. Next time use a metal cake pan. Glass is a poor heat conductor and so the batter in the center of the pan doesn't reach the proper temp before the batter around the edges of the pan sets. Happy Baking!

Hey Adaline, for the tomato sauce I wanted you to know that you don’t have to water bath them to seal. As an alternative to that cook your tomatoes the way you always do. put them in the jars and put the lids on than put the jars upside down as soon as possible. Keep then like that for 24 hours. Don’t move them until 24 hours and. Make sure before you fill your jars, jars and the lids are hot. Which you can simply heat them in your oven first. So yes My Mom has been using this method for decades and I’ve been doing it as well. it saves me time this way.

@theirishcailin333 10 ай бұрын

Do you mind me asking can this be for any tomato sauce recipe or does it have to be specific recipes with perfect ratios of ingredients?

@@theirishcailin333 To be honest I only do this method for canning tomatoes. I didn’t try it on for example for pasta sauce or pizza sauce or something like that. Something you do add other ingredients to your tomatoe. I believe you can use this method for marinara sauce too.

Can't remember if you have a freeze dryer but if you do the skins a d other things that go in the boil when you grind you tomatoes and be put in the freeze dryer and froze the grind it up. Them can use tomato powder or make small amou t of tomato paste for a recipe depending on how much water you mix back in.

On a video I was watching someone had taken a bushel of tomatoes cut them deseeded them and put them in freezer bags, froze them then thawed them out when they had time to cook and can them. When the tomatoes thawed the peel just came right off without blanching. In 45 minutes I had tomato sauce. Put them in cup servings and froze them. For some reason my husband didn't want me to can them. But having canned tomato sauce would be easier for spur of the moment cooking. 😅

If you have a freeze drier, I would suggest trying that with your next batch of tomatoes. You can either blend raw in a high powered blender to break up the seeds and freeze dry the puree and powder that... or you can cook it down a little to get some of the water out and freeze dry the cooked puree. Both are delicious and it's super easy to make paste or sauce, depending on how much water you add. It also takes up WAY less space on the shelf! Just a thought. You sure were busy that day! Hope you had fun on your trip!

I recently watched your pantry tour video and noticed that some of your jars had what looked to be lime on them which is the minerals in your water bath canner depositing on the jars. I recommend putting 3-4 tablespoons of vinegar in the water of your canner your jars will come out cleaner looking than they did going in recently shared this tip with my grandma who has canned her entire life and she was amazing give it a try.

@tini3579 10 ай бұрын

I go through rings quicker using vinegar in the canning water. It tends to make them rust quicker. Since I like to wash the jars before putting on my shelf anyway, I put a bit of vinegar in my wash water and the lime comes right off with just a microfiber cloth.
