Canning 150lb of Tomatoes in January?! 

So this video popped in my feed, and I have never seen you with your hair down before. WOW! You look like a totally different person!! Beautiful!

That you did this without getting sauce on your white robe is downright amazing! :)

Never peeled a tomato in my life! I also make sauce, pasta sauce, relish and salsa also make plum sauce when my plums are ready!Your such a hard worker for a young woman I'm 74yrs young and manage to feed us and family and donate to local nursing home any excess!

I had no idea you could freeze tomatoes and save them for canning. This is a game changer for someone who doesn’t have a garden but, wants to accumulate items to can from the farmers market. Thank you.

Ohhh love your hair down Becky! Looks good ip too but I feel like it’s a rare moment to see it down! Lol. 🥰

That freezer is quite organized. Never apologize for having a full freezer. just sayin'.

A little tip when canning is to put a rubber band around each jar so they don't hit each other in the canner and break.

Becky I have been watching all your videos since you were in this house and still working for your Dad, but I’ve never seen your hair down ! It’s lovely 😊❤

GIRL!! You work a full time job and make all this food AND make RU-vid videos?!?! Good for you!! Love your content!!

My first job outta high school was at Ball Corp. In the mail room sending out Ball Blue Books. As a matter of fact...was born in Ball Hospital, first job-Ball, graduated from Ball State university all in Muncie, Indiana. Love your channel, you can do attitude and your fearlessness. We never know what we can do unless we try.

Been watching every video I can find, and I have never seen you with your hair down!! I LOVE it

I want to know how you kept your fluffy WHITE bathrobe clean?!? If I was wearing it, it would would forever be makes with red spots!🤣

I love how you kept it real with getting up the next morning and start canning before you even have time to get dressed! Go girl! I would keep the tomatoes the same because it seems like you can have one or two year where there are bumper crops and then the next year you get practically nothing. At least that is my experience and I have been canning for over 40 years.I love your channel.

If you score the bottom of the tomato and core them before you chuck in the freezer, you can let them thaw and the skins fall right off whenever you have time to can later.

I didn't realize that I could freeze the tomato's before canning them!!! Thank you!!! When tomato's are ripe its busy at work and I have a busy house hold with kids and now a grandson! This is an amazing tip that I will be using this year Thank you so much 💖

Bless your heart for getting up early and canning in your robe! You have inspired me in my own homestead journey. Thank you for your videos! ❤

I do this too, it takes the stress off of fall canning. I blend my tomatoes too, I recall pealing tomatoes for my grandma while canning. Blenders are so much better now than they were then.

If you peel the tomatoes, the skins can be dehydrated and powdered and used as a powdered tomato paste :)

WOW! I have never seen your hair down before. Your hair is absolutely beautiful.

The idea of having to many tomatoes would be a great thing!!! I would just love that problem anytime or any Becky, I have just started watching your videos and I absolutely love you girl!!! I HAVE learned so much from you, from canning,gardening to where and why you do

I forgot you wore your hair down long ago! Im re watching your tomato videos and remembered. Your hair is so pretty :)

Love the idea of freezing the tomatoes until you're ready to can. Never would have thought of that. If they're frozen, you might have better luck putting fewer tomatoes in the pot at a time and using the lid to keep heat from escaping.

I came back to the beginning to watch your first videos. I’ve never saw your hair down before and it’s beautiful. I love it up too but I had no idea it was that long. We need a hair tutorial. I really like the way you do you pull it up.

Your hair!!! Your hair is so pretty! 😊 Thank you for all the inspiration and amazing garden advice!! ❤

This is great. Fall harvest is always crazy and putting off canning to winter days is amazing…I never thought of it. Thank you!

Watching her make a months worth of meals was a wonderful way to spend my precious free time. Thoroughly enjoyable and doable.

Hi Becky!! This is the first time I've seen your hair down, it's beautiful!! Hope you are doing well, keeping you and Josh and baby in my thoughts and prayers, baby may already be there🥰

Woo Hoo, can't wait to have our own canned tomatoes again. Didn't get to plant a garden last year and probably not this year, due to living in an apartment....but next year, Lord willing, we will have plenty!

Wow Becky ! You just made my job a lot easier . No more peeling and blend before canning. Thanks !! 😘👍

My tomatoes are starting to be ready. Already I know! I would love to see an updated version of what you do or would do with so many tomatoes. I planted way too many and need inspiration. Love your channel!

Some really good hints! Can't wait for the 2021 Garden Season!

I would keep your tomato plantings the same. Yields vary year to year! That being said, it looks great! That's a lot of tomatoes to do all at once!

Very informative. Thank you, Becky! Am enjoying all your videos!

Thanks to you I just found an 18 pt roaster ad goodwill for 20! Can't wait to utilize it next year!

Wow I'm amazed at all the work you put into prepping for whatever.... I don't know many young people who would do that. My mom did many things from jams, konfyt, canning etc. I try to do certain of them that I'm comfortable with. I have great admiration for you my dear..... Keep up the excellent work. I love fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs straight from the garden.... It brings so much joy❤️

I love watching your canning and cooking videos. Thanks for sharing.

Ok I’m trying this! Crockpot to the can .. so easy.. and it looks so thick and delicious! Thank you !!

I absolutely love love loves tomatoes!!! I’m planting some for the first time this year! Wish me luck

Ok... I definitely need this lesson. My plan is to grow enough tomato this year for sauce for an entire year so I can join you all with the pantry challenge. Ha! You made this so simple I've been totally overthinking it. Thanks for sharing this SoilSista ❣️

I have switched almost all my jars to Wide Mouth, this spring after struggling last year finding lids I bought 30 dozen when I saw they were online at Canadian Tire , I used almost all of them .

I don't peel mine either but once I've roasted mine I do put them through a food mill. The mill removes the skins and the seeds n the sauce is amazing.

I never considered freezing the whole tomatoes until I have time to can them. Thanks for the idea.🦋 Take care. 😊

Thank you for showing how you can deal with an abundance of garden harvest. 👍

The nutrients are near the skin so I don't peel my tomatoes either. Love your channel. Thanks for your willingness to share your learnings with us.

This is my first year canning, I am 72. I did it with a friend with fresh tomatoes. Now, I am going to tackle from frozen. I have a hane blender, so it should be easy. Thanks for your instructions.

Not sure if you get messages on old videos, I don’t know how it all works. But in case you do, I was finally ready to can my own tomato sauce and I remembered you had a video so I went back to it. You’re THAT AWESOME!

SO much! Holy cow! I bet it’s nice to have all that freezer room freed up!

You are an inspiration for young ladies who want to homestead.

I did NOT know you could freeze tomatoes whole like that. Game changer.

Becky! Your hair down is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! You look completely different!!!

I have never done canning but after watching your video I feel more comfortable in giving it a try 🌸🦋🌸

Wow you made that look so easy, I've always been too nervous to can but after this I'll have to give it a go. It's my second year gardening in the PNW as well, so I'm stoked to be on this adventure with ya!

Loved this video too! 🥰 thank you Becky!

The Oven pan looks heavenly, so rich and thick .

Thank you for sharing! I’m learning so much from you. Yes, old dogs can learn new tricks!😁

You’re an inspiration to start canning!!🥰

I’m doing this today. My frozen tomatoes were quartered and cored and frozen in zip lock backs. I have them in a large roaster like you put in the oven. I did not add water and with the oven at 200, they are thawing out fast. I have more yet in the freezer to deal with. Like you, I am planting only a few tomato plants this year, slicers and cherry.

I love your videos I always learn so much thank you for sharing!❤❤❤

im 49 i have never peeled a tomato you did a fantastic job well done

I never peel tomatoes. My wife like me to mix’s chili powder in with the sauce when I am cooking the tomatoes down and then mix the onions and peppers in with prior to canning or freezing. Then just mix with beans and meat for chili. Then the peppers and onions are out of the freezer and pantry also.

You look so beautiful with your hair down like that!!! And, just for the record, I do my tomatoes just like that but have never added water. They do just fine. If you are worried, just cut a few in half on the bottom.

I gasped when I saw how many toms you had on your counter. What a great harvest.

I'm sorry for your jar. I never thought to freeze them like that and it's a very good idea. I asked in another video if you do pressure canning, and there's the pressure canner :) Beautiful work, gorgeous jars!

I'm watching this older video now in 2022, because I have always wanted to see you with your hair down! This was from before I subscribed to your channel. Your hair is beautiful! I had always thought you were curly, I don't know why. How interesting.

When you are working, its a lot, but , down the road you will go crazy cooking and canning, your great Becky

I can remember my Grandma and Mom doing this when I was little. It would stink to high heaven so they always canned at Grandma's house, not ours. I don't know if it makes any difference (probably a personal preference thing) but they would peel the tomatoes before the stewed them.

Freezing tomatoes is something I never thought of. Definitely going to consider this if I am having trouble.

you could get a market stall and sell your food and fruit and veg at the farmers market.

I cut an X on the bottom and remove the core before I freeze. Then the skins slip right off, then I dehydrate the skins and make a powder. It’s lovely for soups or chili as a flavor or light thickener.

Went back to watch your older videos and this is the first time I've seen your hair down! Gorgeous!

Becky- there is amazing intelligence and then there is genius! Frozen tomatoes to make sauce and then can them! My sweet that idea is a keeper! Can we can other frozen vegetables too?

Planted seeds in does for the first time. They’re actually growing but I have no idea when to switch them to bigger pots. I live in an apartment so I’m growing them in pots on my terrace.

What a difference a year makes!!!! Blessings either way!!!

I have had a garden for a couple of years. This year I had a huge harvest of tomatoes. More than my husband and I can eat, But I was told to not give them away. It was brought to my attention that I could have a year where my tomatoes may do bad and then I will be thankful for having a year where I had an abundance. I am not experienced, so don't know how often this happens. I did find that the extra allowed me to try new recipes, like ketchup, enchilada sauce and pizza sauce.

I've always wondered what your hair looks like down. It's absolutely beautiful!!!! Great video!

Thank you for another great canning recipe for Canuary!!

Been binge watching your Channel but this is the first one I've seen your hair down, It's so Long 💗

I didn’t know you don’t you store the cans with the rings on..cool thanks for sharing

This will come in handy this summer after my tomatoes ripen at once!

That was awesome u lot ot tomatoes ❤ I u put in freezer just picked out the garden I lean some new from thank

Thank you!

Those tomatoes look awesome. Thank you for sharing

I used to use my hand-powered Foley food mill, which liquified the cooked tomatoes as well as removing the skins and seeds. I'm surprised no one mentioned it.

Thank you , so much for sharing really do appreciate it .

You can put the tomatoes in plastic totes, with towels under them to absorb sweating. As they thaw the water comes to the top, skim it off,, and thus will majorly lessen your cook time.

Our tomatoes were a no go this year but my freezer still has tomatoes in it from last year! I’m getting ready to can them and I’m so glad I found your video. But while watching it, all I could think was, “she is so brave to can tomato sauce in a white robe!” 😂🤣😂 thanks for sharing!

I'm so jealous I can't seem to get any tomatoes to go, but I do hit the local farms and support their businesses

I didn’t even think about freezing tomatoes whole until ready to use them. Wow, what a game changer. I don’t peel my tomatoes either.

I'm with you! This summer was exhausting and with a shortage of jars this past year I had to just freeze the rest of my tomatoes. I'm about to can mine here in January. Thanks for sharing

I love the idea of the roaster. My question is what temperature did you use?

You're good, no mess on your white robe! Great attitude when you lost a jar during the process. Wonderful about of sauce going into your pantry. Missouri Wrightchk

You can get a food mill / grinder / sausage stuffer attachment for your KitchenAid stand mixer. You can also thin slice, chop or puree tomatoes; (skins also) dehydrate until very dry & powder in a blender. You get highly concentrated tomato powder that you can make anything from juice to paste depending on how much water you mix it with.

I had a ton of frozen tomatoes taking up room in my freezer and didn’t have the energy to can so I thawed them, blended and then dehydrated to grind into tomato powder☺️

Very admirable for a young lady to do! 🥰

Ohhh I love your hair down ❤ I had only seen it pinned up in other videos.

one of the things my mom did this year when there was aloooottta tomatos and some had to be frozen.. is to let them thaw.. and use that water for something else (i dont remember what she used it for lol) vs cooking it for alot longer and having to boil away more water.

Thanks for the video. I'm rethinking my tomatoes this year too. But I think I'm going to start freezing them. Sorry about your jar.

On the rhubarb - my grandmother used to make Strawberry, rhubarb pie.

I've been enjoying you videos as of late. With you working, and homesteading (and ALL that that intails), your drive truely is impressive! As for canning in winter, it's the best time! I love making chili, spaghetti, and many other things when it's not so freaking hot out! It's good on you that you think about putting up so much food that you've grown yourselves, and making sure it doesn't go to waste. Too bad you're so busy that you couldn't sell some of your harvest at a local farmer's market or food co-op. There is only one complaint that I have, and that is your sound quality. I have given up trying to hear you talk now, and use subtitles instead, since other "background" sounds wind up being MUCH louder than your voice. I don't mind reading subtitles, but for those that don't, or find it frustrating, you may want to consider getting a mic. Thank you for putting out the great content that you do, and I hope that your channel grows even BIGGER! :)

I freeze my tomatoes every year and can them in Fall. I just leave the bags out on a table (in bowls in case of leaks) and let them thaw overnight. The tomatoes lose a lot of their water that way (the tomato water is delicious) and don't take so long to cook down.
