I don't know about you, but I don't eat canned processed foods since canned foods are filled with all kinds of additives/ingredients that are actually toxic to our health, and never mind the cans and plastics itself which are toxic to our health as well, but I'm not going to get into that right now, but I will share about all that in one of my posts in future.
So I was using a recipe today and it asked for 2 cans of diced tomatoes, which I did not have.
And because it is so easy to make, I made my own diced tomatoes from fresh tomatoes.
The first step is to wash the tomatoes and boil them for about 2 minutes until the skin cracks.
Take the tomatoes out and put them into a bowl filled with freezing cold/ice water.
Peel the skin off and start dicing the tomatoes.
Do not get rid of all the tomato juice. We need all the juices and tomatoes which we will shimmer in the pot or pan adding some salt, black pepper, basil, and garlic.
Shimmer the tomatoes for about 10 minutes and it's done. Your fresh diced tomatoes with no additives or toxic chemicals.
To substitute one 14.5 ounces can of diced tomatoes, use 2 cups of fresh chopped tomatoes.
Diced tomatoes are chopped prior to canning and then processed with calcium chloride and citric acid to help the pieces keep their shape
You can usually substitute 2 cups of fresh chopped tomatoes for one 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes.
who is working very hard to help the families stay together and this project is the most amazing project that I would suggest for everyone in this hive community to check it out and support it and by doing it we are helping people in need who are trying to keep their kids safe from being taken away (kidnapped) by the Social Services.
