After making my tomato sauce,
I've been seeing tomato everywhere!
In my dreams as well....
I like when my pantry is full of homemade goodies and ready for the cold winter days therefore I can not miss the tomato sauce. I use the sauce in many of my recipes.
My husband and I bought so much of tomato and I've been working on many different tomatoes products.
Today, I'd like to share one of them and it's a recipe for basic tomato sauce.
No kitchen can function properly without it.
Wash your tomatoes.
Roma tomatoes work best for canning.
Bring a Large Pot of Water to a Boil
Place the tomatoes in the boiling water
and keep them in only for about 20-30 seconds
and remove them from the water and place them in the colander
Peel off the skin
Next,
Puree tomatoes in the food processor or blender until a nicely smooth
Pour your blended tomatoes into a large pot
Add salt and pepper to taste
Bring it to a boil
Next reduce the heat to low
Continue cooking for another 30-40 minutes
Stir often to prevent sticking to the bottom
While the tomato mixture is still hot
transfer it to a sterilized jars
A canning funnel makes this process easier :)
Clean the jar's rims
I like to do this with a rubbing alcohol
Next - Screw on the lids
Next, place the jars upside down
(you can cover them with a clean towel to keep them hot longer)
Many recipes will require to pasteurize your tomato sauce by placing them in a pot of boiling water.
I use that method for canning but not for this recipe.
I find it that if the sauce is hot enough, there is no need to boil them again - I'm speaking from my own experience.
Happy Canning !!
Home made products are the BEST :)
