I returned to The Jam and Jelly Lady's cannery (Tuesday) to attended a master canning course...for tomatoes. Three--count 'em 3 awesomely yummy recipes. We made salsa, Italian sauce (Or if you are Italian--Red Gravy) and a Jamaican Jerk Tomato sauce.
Many people grew up using a water canner for tomatoes, but we used a pressure canner. Based on all the literature and the science behind it--this seems safer. And definitely the way I am gonna preserve them.
Blanch-don't boil!
Score!
❤ the food processor!
Garlic smells so good! (Just not on my hands!)
My eyes were burning from the peppers and garlic!
Don't cry!
Naked tomatoes!
I wish you could have seen how goopey our hands were after peeling and de-pithing the tomatoes
Did I mention we
❤ the food processor? We used it for the onions too. Can you imagine doing all this by hand? Yeah -me either.
To bad we don't have smell-o-blog. The aroma was divine!
Really? I am supposed to wait and not eat this? Yeah, right!
Everyone has a different preference for type of tomatoes, peppers and spices. Just Google canning salsa recipes to get an ideal for ingredients, measurements and processing time.

ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! OMG it was sooo good. I am kinda ashamed to say I killed a jar (1/2 pint) by myself. It tomatoes and peppers so it's healthy right? And The fact I was standing up eating the salsa and chips over the sink means the chips don't count. Right? haha
DeleteYou should see how many tomato and pepper plants I have...hehe. I expect a bumper crop and I will be canning my heart out. ...Jars of salsa as Christmas presents for everyone! lol
