FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. Her family ran a farm in Italy and she met her husband, Vito, in the same town. In 1970 Gina, Vito, and her 4 children immigrated to America. Gina’s husband passed away in 2012, but she is surrounded by a large family, which includes 9 grandchildren, and lives 5 minutes away from her eldest daughter in New Jersey. Gina spends her time cooking, gardening, and being an active member of her local Church.
Where does Gina get her recipes?
Most of these recipes are from what she learned growing up in Italy, but some of them have evolved over time. She has also learned new recipes from friends and family in America. She is always eager to try new things.
Why is no one helping her in the video?
Grandma Gina doesn’t want help! Usually, it’s because we will slow her down or not do it “her way.” For the videos we only show her, but when the camera cuts we jump in and help form the cookies or prep for the next step.
Why don’t we buy her a new...?
Grandma Gina has a closet and garage full of new gadgets, spoons, forks, pots, etc… but she doesn’t like them because she is used to doing it with her old tools. She has fun getting her hands dirty!
Who is behind the camera?
Her retired son-in-law films, her daughter helps her prep, and she usually has one or two grandkids in the kitchen.
Does Gina read the comments?
We print out and show her how much love she gets from all her viewers, and she is very thankful and hopes you enjoy her cooking! Your comments bring her lots of joy, laughter, and inspiration to make more videos to share with you.
Thank you for watching, we hope you subscribe, and we will see you in our next video!

@alisonc8020 3 года назад

It’s because the “canning” method she is using (turning the jars upside down) is not safe. She is risking botulism - presumably to her entire family and likely many friends. It’s rare, yes, but it’s deadly. A simple water bath would eliminate the risk altogether but she does not do it. I guess the risk is not as high with tomato sauce, as cooking the product upon opening the jar removes the botulism toxin, but many learners are watching this and thinking that upending a jar is how you preserve something. It’s a very, very dangerous assumption to make and videos like this are how those assumptions are made.

@jeanettereynolds3151 3 года назад

How do you think people canned for years before water baths etc it's all steralised my gran from u.k used to make jam jars galore of jam.never heard of a high pressure water bath or canning machine etc.they used thier old faithful giant burnt black pot would put jam into jars wait to cool a little put on a circle of wax paper and a jam lid.leave her do it her way.

@DisabledCreation 3 года назад

Tomatoes are acidic meaning you don't have to pressure can, and the amount of time the sauce is boiling (even in the jar) virtually eliminates the risk of botulism.

@LordDragon1965 6 лет назад

Her sealing method is actually sound science. By taking the hot jarred sauce and inverting and cooling slowly, she is allowing the head space in the jar to cool away from the seal creating vacuum pressure pulling the flat lid into place. Luckily tomato sauce needs less that 5# of pressure to seal.

@Cynnas 6 лет назад

Except the water bath is better for sealing the lid and killing bacteria. I imagine hers isn't meant for long term storage though; probably doesn't last that long.

A lot of people who have not had the pleasure to know an Italian grandmother, have not experienced making these amazing foods which are very labor intensive and become such a memorable family event every year. These days, many moms and grandmothers find themselves making them alone, as they age, so they stop. Whether it’s snapping beans, or canning goods, it’s a good time to bond with your family. I wish I had an Italian grandmother that I could spend a day peeling tomatoes with. Don’t let this become a lost art; gather the family and put the electronics down and create your own rich family memories. Thanks, Gina. You warm my heart. ❤️

@miracleshappen4483 4 года назад

Ciao, I'm Italian and I remember when I was a child my relatives you to make salsa in the streets of a small town in Calabria, Southern Italy. Because we didn't have all the gears she's using for the sauce (salsa di pomodoro), my relatives used to cut up the tomatoes in very small pieces, place them into jars, close the jars really tight, place them in a huge barrel filled with water. The barrel had a wooden fire underneath so the tomatoes were cooked directly into the jars. The heat also made sure that no microbes could survive at such high temperature. The glass jars didn't explode! After that, you had to wait for the jars to cool down to store them in a dark, dry place in the house (i. g. a cupboard). In Italian this is called Conserva di Pomodori which literally means Preserved Tomatoes. We never separated the skin and the seeds from the tomatoes. 💖😉😁

So when you see it the next morning and if there's mark around the rim when it was left upside down overnight, indicates that the content in the jar is not safe to consume. Thank you.

@Sanderly1820 Месяц назад

She's doing the inversion sealing method, the thought behind this is the hot tomato sauce will cause the lid to seal more tightly, , the mark around the lid doesn't mean it's unsafe to eat, it's only a couple of hours old, these jars will ve kept in the fridge and WILL KEEP FOR 3 MONTHS, I've been a chef for 30yrs this is basic food knowledge, botulism wtf , if yoyr gonna comment atleast do a bit of research first

I want to say thank you to Gina and her family for this video, brings back so many memories, I met my wife 31 years ago and when I first ate at her house with her mom, dad and sister we sat down to an awesome pasta dinner to which my wife mentioned they make their own “gravy” now gravy to me was brown sauce you put in meat, long story short I now call gravy myself, I started helping making the gravy in their basement 25 years ago with one 4 burner stove and a small kitchen sink, we spent many hours down there every August, cooking jarring then of course the cleaning afterwards, 10 years ago my mother in law said to me “Michael I trust you now to make this all yourself for you and your family” since then I make 20 bushels every August with my oldest son and my wife exactly the way I saw in the video, we even have the same machine used in this video, those big pots, with a big wooden spoon, only difference is I do it in the garage and use propane burners, I can honestly say I’m in tears sharing this with all, my mother in law is 87 now suffering from dementia, it’s sad because she taught me so much, not to brag but I make my own breads, cookies, pastas, cakes, pies, and trust me it shows lol, my mother is law is from a small town called Cervinara but watching Gina she reminds me so much of watching my mother in law cook and never wanting help, we also are from NJ but now reside in Pennsylvania, but I do get the tomatoes from a farm in Flanders NJ, always good pickings. I just wanna say thank you again Gina I will continue to watch your videos so please keep making them. Mike

@@Anonymous-bc3ou Actually, the beautifully darkened, ripe tomatoes seen in this video are Roma and San Marzanno variety, which are seasonal. In my region, if this variety is purchased during the winter months it most certainly means they've been harvested, stored in refrigeration for a good length of time before even seeing the shelf of a supermarket or fruit store. But if you live in a year round warm climate, quality tomatoes can be purchased at any time. But for me, the best time to purchase this variety is late August early September. Any other month I won't go near them. That's why we jar them :) ......

I’m so thankful I can’t put it in to words but I want you to know how great full I’am. I appreciate you for teaching me. I grow my own pomodoro. I them it into 35 canned pomodoro gravy. God bless your teaching. Grazti

Idk if this is the blunt talking or what?! But after seeing this lady tuck that little jar of sauce under the covers like she was tucking her child in bed. Now I understand why people say “it’s made with love 😍”

@samspiro1649 4 года назад

Ann I think that’s so cute too. My best friends dad made bread and he use to wrap a blanket around his bowl when he let the dough rise. Every batch was made with love but it had a lot to do with the fact that they heated there home with a wood stove. 🙂 when I make bread to this day I still “put it to bed” as he would say.

Notice that this kitchen is in the basement? That's where the real cooking done. The upstairs kitchen is for show; the basement is for work.

This is how we do it . One kitchen in the basement, one on first floor , one outside called summer kitchen .😀 And no washing machine in the kitchen .

In the 1950’s growing up in the Bronx every Italian family had one or two stoves in the basement to make the sauce for winter. Brings back great memories of my childhood.

Anytime my family cans anything it’s a family affair. Someone tends the pots, another puts lids on and then there’s a runner lol. This was a lovely video. Such a sweet and intelligent woman ☺️ love seeing how others prepare their jars.

@Shinyred-921 Месяц назад

This brings back the most cherished memories from my childhood. My uncle’s in-laws would do this wonderful process every summer with lots of laughters and love. My mother would do it with her homegrown tomatoes and it was the best of times keeping up our Italian traditions. This woman is a gem.

@marcosvalcarcel552 4 года назад

@ItaComedian 4 года назад

Totally agree! She was so happy, she lit up. Like a wall of gold! Love watching this Nonna! Started on her pizza dough video, happened upon it a few weeks ago and made it today. So much fun. Hi from Kamloops BC, Canada Nonna!

@acecadet2587 4 года назад

we still do this every other year with my grandmother. I call it tomatogeddon. We're three families, and the amount of bushels cover her whole basement. Still worth it. Nothing beats home made tomato sauce and I've yet to find a brand that tastes the same. Grazia Nonna Gina!

@dhurley8522 5 лет назад

I’ve never seen anybody do this indoors. We always made sauce outdoors preferably in the backyard. That machine brings back so many memories! I was always on the tomato’s skins duty. August/September was always tomato sauce making season. October/November was homemade wine making season. This was normal growing up in an Italian family 🇮🇹

@clarissa182 3 года назад

This video was an absolute joy! I plan on doing a garden this year and wanted to learn how to can as well. This has been the best video I've seen so far and according to my mother, the closest to the way my grandmother canned when she was a child. Thank you Miss Gina!

@p_roduct9211 4 года назад

Does anyone else love her accent, grammar style and mannerisms? When she was talking about how she almost "make a bed" I squealed. I'm gonna say "do-a like diss" all the time now! And she's HEALTHY and still full of energy; all that sauce is no easy effort. ✨

The person with the botulism concern did not listen well, she turned them upside down or they would burst, plus Gina checked them. She said if the top could be pressed in, she threw them out. Gina is an Italian national treasure. We love her!

@MrsStevenBrown 2 года назад

It’s still wrong…safe measures is water canning for 30 mins…she didn’t do that time at the higher temp, so yes..she could get someone really sick! Plus she didn’t have any lemon juice or acid power to keep them acidic for longer storage…it’s just awesome the sauce she made.. but it’s risky processing! As some one whose been sick from bad canning.. YIkES 😳!

@alexanderpatrick4866 4 года назад

I love this video very much. Brings back a lot of memories. And for those people who gave this a thumbs down it's obvious they're eating out of a can and can't even spell the word sauce... LOL! God bless all of you!

@donnatassa2018 4 года назад

Me too. My grandparents were from Italy and when I was a girl, me, my mother and siblings went to a large farm to pick bushes of tomatoes for canning sauce. We had the old crank grinder. It was a lot of work but so worth it.

@emilydean2748 5 лет назад

A correction on the note at 14:41. There is nothing at all wrong with the food in an unsealed jar (it's only been sitting out one night), it just needs to be resealed right away. Dump out the sauce, bring it back to a boil, clean off the jar and do it all over again. Or, it you're only dealing with one jar you can just stick it in the fridge and use it within a week or two.

@Ssups101 3 года назад

Sweet Jesus, this brings back memories of making sauce in my grandparents basement with my great-grandmother Mantovani. Us great grandchildren had to stir the pot and hand crank the tomato press. Earliest memory is probably 10-11 years old, the adults would be out in the driveway cleaning and prepping the tomatoes and great grandma would have the 5 great grandchildren in the basement cooking the tomatoes and help with canning...

@mora118 3 года назад

I bet that those are special memories. The garden and chickens were always something we kids had to help maintain and it was always fun to pick things.

@canertogac2980 5 лет назад

We do exact same canned tomatoes in Turkey every summer. It is very nice to see that traditional preperation for winter in other Meditterranean countries.
