Video 3 Home Canning Tomatoes; Tomato Sauce & Salsa

[1000Classics]

Love this! Thank you so much for this series. I am new to canning and am so excited to learn. I saw that you mentioned fresh herbs in your video, there is an even easier way to grow your own fresh veggies and herbs. Its called The Bucket Garden! I have one in my back yard and love it!

[musicbymark]

Didn't you exceed the recommended amount of non-tomato veggies? I've read only 1cup other veggies per 7 # of tomatoes, or 3c. per 22#s tomatoes.

[cavmedic53]

David, this video is great but it'd be better if you spoke a little louder while you're on camera, there was a couple spots where it was hard to hear you. Thank you for the wealth of information

[drutter]

But how do you CAN the stuff? Or is this video about something else?

[Lemon020202]

...this asshole! OMG...you should always make the tomato sauce plain! because this way if you want to add another ingredient in the future you can, or meat etc...

[wickedlady4180]

8:29 lol

[backyardsounds]

Great stuff, guys. I just wish more Americans knew how to do this. I grew up around a canning culture, I guess you could say, but I am trying to learn some new techniques and Idea. I just ventured into making real pickles (brine), or what they call 'lacto fermentation'. So far, so good.

You forgot the salt. I add about a 1/4 cup of salt per eight quarts. I only bring the salsa up to a boil and can immediately in boiled jars (no post boiling) to avoid over-cooking the salsa. I use jalopeano peppers (2 cups pre 8 qrts) and add the cilantro at the very end (stir in after the salsa boils) to avoid wilting. I canned 180 jars of tomatoes this week after work - I get culls for free the farmer I worked for in HS though. Learned canning from my hardworking grandmother. Nice video.

[derekHSmith]

Thanks for the videos guys. I live in land of the pink tomatoes. I worked in tomatoes for six summers growing up. I tell those are shipping tomatoes you are canning, which have a firmer, meatier body. A more delicious tomato, such as a Bradley, makes world's better salsa/sauce. On a softer tomato, it's better to core after blanching to keep the juice in and the water out of the tomato.

[AndromedaFollowsMe]

Skinless tomatoes are scary looking!!

[bongojim420]

Whats that website again? lol, I did not catch it the first 15x.

Kidding, thanks for info : )

[Topaz5866]

Can you use regular store-bought canned (tin) crushed tomatoes to make the salsa? Our fresh tomatoes are a little pricey right now. I can't wait for our farmer's market to open up and get lots of beautiful fresh veggies.

[derekHSmith]

@Topaz5866 YES.

[DavidGBlackburn]

@Topaz5866 You should check out the "canning" group at Facebook.

[Lemon020202]

@Topaz5866 the whole point is to make it fresh! and not food from a can! (sometimes you don't know how old those cans are!) just saying! fresh is always best...store cans can contain alot of chemicals!

[Topaz5866]

@Lemon020202

Your comment is unnecessary. OBVIOUSLY, canning fresh is best!

[Lemon020202]

@Topaz5866 Actually i never said canning wasn't fresh...i can (jar) my tomatos too! but i don't add unnessary things to it! all i'm saying is it will take away from the "fresh" ...i'm comment makes alot of sense if you think about it! I can tomato sause plain...this way in the future i can add whatever different things want...and i'm not stuck without plain sauce! Fresh also means natural.

[DavidGBlackburn]

@Dustycajungurl Yes, it'll be okay.

[Windinmysails71]

This looks great, thanks for the tips!

[VastWalker]

salsa w no hot peppers, whats up w that?

[vancouverdigitalvid]

i would totally eat salsa to this video!

[brianmef]

No garlic?! :)

[mcease]

does cooking the salsa for canning change the flavor of the Salsa?

[WaltherPPK909]

Anyone from NTA wind up here?

[krispyjc]

@WaltherPPK909 Yeah

[crissala]

This is my second year making this salsa. I made much more this year. Everyone in my house loves it. I did substitute the lemon for lime juice and I checked the acid chart to make sure that it would be as good and some charts actually have it higher than lemon so it is safe for those of you that would worry about the substitution. Thanks so much ya'll.

[Itasiaboy]

@crissala gibt es deutsche tutorial für salsa ich bin fan un wollte schon immer lernen also wäre eht coool oda wieso machst du kein tutorial auf deutsch das wäre echt sau gut und ein abo wert und empfelung bitttttttttteeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

[ArchieLovesMe]

where's the garlic?

[mopore]

I can buy a jar of tomato sauce at Wal-Mart for $0.88 and it is larger than your jars and professionally canned

[wastingtimewithjoy]

@mopore

Fresh tomatoes don't even compare to processed. It is tastier, healthier, and with less preservatives, if any.

[stripe64]

@mopore

Yep, and it's full of GMO's & preservatives and doesn't taste any where near as good as it would if were made with fresh ingredients.

[mopore]

@stripe64 not true! the cans I get say "FRESH" and "100% Tomatoes!" on label

[noslrac1980]

@mopore Home canning definitely has an initial investment to get started in jars, tools, and hardware. After this investment new lids cost less than a quarter which are the only thing thats recommended to change out each time.

[mopore]

What is the name of your website again?

[angelsaura1]

Great job guys....loved it...thanks....

Ignore all the negative comments...they're mothers didn't teach them....that if you have nothing nice to say....don't say anything at all....rudeness....just where all the problems come from in this world.....

You' guys are awesome.....

[talostc]

Thanks for sharing. Nice kitchen.

[phunny96]

great job guys very informative! keep up the good work and ignore any of the trolls that arent giving you props.

[TheBrassHole]

Can you show us a "poor" man's version on how to do this? I can't afford all the nice tools and things that you are using...

[SaviourSole]

Beautiful kitchen. Top notch stove, cooking pots, sink... all very lovely.

Nice to see someone making good use of their kitchen.

[dljones33]

I'm new to canning. Why do you cook the salsa? Can it be canned fresh? I sure enjoy this video series. I have watched them several times. David has a very calming voice.

[shakaama]

what's the canning where you put wax in the jar?

[Shiloh2rtn]

I'm pretty new to canning but have had good success so far. From what I understand, wax is old school method. It might cover the canned product, such as jam and keep it from air but it doesn't guarantee a safe yeast and mold environment like the water bath method. This way has worked for me quite easily. You don't need wax and you fill the jar to the top minus the required head space and boil it for 10 minutes. I made strawberry jam that was better than any store bought stuff! Drop the wax.

[zobcity01]

How long will the sauce or salsa last in the pantry?

Thx.

[SKTPSY]

that tomato sauce is very thin, though.

[badbeamer]

The onion chopper is called an "Alligator" and walmart has them as well as target.

Wonderful videos, pleasant, soothing and easy to follow. These are the types of things I want to can and in the same manner! Thank you!!

[cherokiimslm]

very imformative thanks! Hey where did you get that onion chopper thing, I cook a lot and cut lots n lots of onions, that thing could make my life a lot easier!

[lexlundin]

How do you blanch peppers ? I've have a lot of problems doing this. Please help... thx!

[squidskunk]

if your looking to remove the skin of the peppers...just roast them over a burner on the stove or in the oven... i use a propane torch and burn the skin untill the skin is black... then... rince under cold water and lightly scrub with a brush the skin will come rite off...this is fast and dosnt cook them and it will leave the peppers in good shape...so good infact you could still use them raw in a salad after burning off the skin...

[grammanellie]

David's voice is a little quiet. I had to turn the volume up. great video!!!!

[brettkling]

These people remind me of the Delicious Dish spoof off of SNL! LOL

[frontlinerec]

come post this tstuff on my site

[jujujubee]

where did you get your chopper?

[jujujubee]

You two rock! Great video.

[BalconyGrow]

I am wanting to try canning. This video is very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.  ~Jeri

[boundleadtheblind]

good stuff but kinda creepy

[crowjr2]

i also share the heebee jeebees.

[racsito39]

Luckily where I live we have fresh vegetables all year long, and a lot of fruits, I must find something else to can lol.

[MrSaladDressingCom]

Thanks for the hints! I use a lot of tomatoes in my recipes and this will help a lot.

[mystykit]

Appreciate your videos so much. You are great cooks.

[galingkotalaga]

who sez they spend $2 for d same can at $0.50?

I just bought tomatoes for $2/20 lbs & will try to make salsa & can tomatoes today. This video will help me a lot.

[jhc58]

Sure have all the nice gear, not like any canning I've seen. good team work and a nice kitchen. Bravo

[mexicano700]

Gracias por este video

[starfishbicycle]

This is exactly what I was looking for. However, some one told me that I shouldn't mix in extra veggies or herbs because it would lower the Ph and make water bath canning unsafe. I'm going to visit the Web site to find out more.

[gaku46]

This is a great video. Thank you for posting this. One thing, can you "tighten" the lid before pasteurizing?? Thanks again.

[roxboy1088]

I love home canning! discovered it 2 years ago and now do it just for fun and give away the jam as gifts,these videos are great and David is so cute!!!

[Molinard7]

How cool!

[slobomotion]

Thank you. I saw canning while growing up, and it intimidated me. I feel better prepared to look into it, now. Carry on!
