@Emeraldwitch30 3 года назад

Just one small issue that won't bother most people but if you have the super taster gene that doesn't like cilantro and arugula then the skins/ seeds might taste bitter. I'm one if those that can't stand the taste of cilantro and arugula and a few other fresh herbs and darned if the tomato skin and seeds tastes super bitter and slightly off to me. I know there are not many that have this but I figured I can at least give a heads up. Fresh basil also tastes wrong to me but I love the smell and when I dry it I love the flavor so it has to do with something fresh there. Taste buds are so weird lol

@vickisavage8929 3 года назад

Jimmie Burleigh It used to be normal to have a summer kitchen outside the house so all cooking and food preserving could be done without overheating the living area. As soon, historically, as insect netting was available, it was used as the “walls” of the summer kitchen. This included all food preparation and preservation, plant and animal both, until the weather cooled down. Storage, of course, was elsewhere, and when the summer kitchen was no longer needed for the year, it was emptied and scrubbed (so it would not attract pests) and the netting put into storage. (The netting was valuable and expensive. “Waste not, want not,” was how people lived.)

Great job, Sarah! I don't know what I'd do without my pressure canner. I'm hoping to move to a larger, rural property, but for now I'm in a suburb with a 30' x 40' garden. Each year I grow a lot of tomatoes, but still have to supplement by buying them by the case to make sauce. The ones I grow get saved in freezer bags until I have enough ripe ones for a canner load, and I much prefer to presser can them. You're so right about how much better they seal, and I like the texture better, too. I can't stress how much money I've saved in investing in canners and equipment, and good dehydrators. It really doesn't take a lot of money - Just a little planning and saving. I've more than paid for the canners and dehydrators, and each year, I buy enough lids and replacement rings to last the next year. Here in Central Florida, the power can be out for weeks following a hurricane, and many lose entire freezers full of food. As the food thaws in my freezer, it gets pressure canned and preserved, giving us a full pantry at a time when we need it the most.

@nicolehervieux1704 3 года назад

Carol Avant : Thank you for this comment. When you say that you saved them in a freezer bag until you have enough to process, do you core and peel them then freeze them until you can process them all at once? Do you cut them or freeze them whole? I am new at this, this year I have bought both a dehydrator and everything needed to water can. This is also the first year that I have had a garden. To my surprise the garden is doing very well. I will have a lot of tomatoes and peppers... God is good! He has bless my garden. I have dehydrated garlic, onions and carrots, dill (and stinging nettles I make capsule for and tincture with that, it is an amazing herb) so far... I am however very Interested in dehydrating meat, for the exact reason you mentioned, a lengthy lost of power. I have ordered some oxygen saver packages and I will put some in my containers once they arrive. Do you have any tips on dehydrating things like that? What do you dehydrate? May the Lord bless you and yours and keep you safe until He returns. Let us be His light in this dark time and let us share His gospel to everyone because He does not want any to perish. The gospel of Salvation is as easy as ABC A- Acknowledge that we are sinner and in need of a saviour because we all fall short and no one is good no, not one. B- Believe with all our heart that Jesus died for our sins, and that God Has raised Him from the dead and given us this free gift so that we could have eternal life. C- Confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and call upon His name and WE WILL BE SAVED!

The reason you put citric acid in different items to can is the same reason that it's recommended to use bottled lemon juice in some things. The acidity or PH is so varied in fruits/vegetables the citric acid is a safeguard to ensure everything is more or less equal and up to a consistent level for safety.

I thought that was only for water bath canning not a concern in pressure canning.

@joannmahaffey1068 3 года назад

@@hillarywright7965 it has nothing to do with the canning method but with the ability of the tomatoes to store without going bad. The two things that really preserve food are acid and sugar. Salt is also a preservative.

@hillarywright7965 3 года назад

Then y dont you add to other pressure canned foods? I thought the whole point in pressure canning vegetables was because they were low acid? And that's why you water bath cause fruit is high acid?

@MNTNSTARZ80. 3 года назад

@@hillarywright7965 the citric acid in both types of canning is to stabilize the PH so things last longer aren't mushy and preserve flavor You can do tomatoes in either as long as you're not putting items in that require pressure canning IE meat. But the citric acid or bottled NOT fresh lemon juice are a MUST. The acidity of tomatoes varies from variety to variety and even from 1 tomato to another. Add an acid helps guarantee they're equal.

@leahix7356 2 года назад

I always was taught that the reason you had to raise the acid level, this add the citric acid, was because you were water bath canning. All other LOW ACID foods do not receive this treatment. Look at the ball book for stewed tomatoes, their recipe requires pressure canning because of the other ingredients. No additional acid required. Basic chemistry.

I used a pressure canner last year after 40 years of boiling water bath tomatoes and I had to buy new lids and redo all my tomatoes because the tomatoes syphoned out the top from the pressure canner. I can see u have ur system down to work for you. But I found the nice thing about boiling water bath after struggling with pressure canning tomatoes, is that with boiling water bath u can just set the timer and walk away...u don't have babysit the dials or steam...and this year with lids harder to find I can't chance them syphoning out again. Maybe next year I will try figuring out how to make it work.

@maryj8576 3 года назад

Vivian I also would rather water bath my tomatoes and have no siphoning of liquid. I think the temptation to turn the heat up on the pressure canner causes it to siphon. This year I pressure canned Yukon potatoes and did not have water loss because I did not rush to get the heat up fast nor did I tighten the lids too much. It worked! Now on to this years tomato crop.

SarDee It can also be from taking them out of the canner too soon. After the time is up, crack the lid for a few minutes, then take the lid off and wait a few minutes, then take them out and put in a draft feee place on a towel. That should help also.

@brianhillyard4558 3 года назад

Do you have any issues with the bottom of your pressure canners warping using the turkey fryer burners? This is my first year canning and it heats the house so bad using an electric stove. Ive been contemplating using my fryer burner but was hesitant because of the BTU rating.

@sharylwhittington9203 3 года назад

Brian Hillyard yes, be sure the btu is no more than 1200. The higher BTU can soften the metal and warp the canner. Per the instruction manuals I have Turkey fryers are a no no.

I can outside too, but just with the water bath canner on the turkey fryer base. When I'm done for the day. I'll scoop out the boiling water on the weeds in the cracks of the driveway.

Did pressure canning really save time and/or propane? She put the jars in at 3:12 and was opening the lid at 5:26... If the seal is actually better it might be worth the extra effort, but I feel like this actually took more time than a water bath.

@tonilynncassidy5804 3 года назад

This method is great but you should add the liquid back. Tomatoes are tested safe in canning using all the liquid. Although it's seems like a time saver it isn't safe.

A lot of people just dump the water after their tomatoes thaw. However it does affect the acidity even though you would add citric acid or lemon juice. Just sharing some safety tips.

Casi D Trust me, I know about the assembly line. I helped my parents from the time I could see over the counter and stove. We all pitched in. On canning, I did the blanching and put the fruits (tomatoes are a fruit) into the cold water, Dad skinned and cored (pitted, or whatever else was needed, depending on what we were putting up), and Mom put it into the jars, cleaned the rims, and put on the lids and rings. When the whole batch was in jars, Dad checked the rings’ tightness. We always started the jars in cold water, and let them cool a while, but not completely, in the canner before they came out. Dad set up the pressure canner until it was at pressure. My job was to monitor for the time necessary. We had two canners, but not enough room for both on the stove. If we had more than one batch, we alternated canners. I cannot remember the pantry ever holding less than a year’s worth of food.

@@vickisavage8929 As I said, don't know why, perhaps different boiling times due to higher/lower altitudes. The four of us peeled what came out of the steamer.

I just love you and your site. You remind me of my dear friend Susan Raines. We lived in Oregon together and I have recently moved to Idaho, where she lives, but several hours away. I do can a lot but I have learned so much from you and your you tube channel. Thank you so much. I tell everyone I know about you. For the first time my tomato sauce turned out thick - I used my slow cooker until I could get a Roaster. I did purchase one and, WOW, they both worked like a charm. Now I am about to take on Applesauce. Oh, I miss my Oregon Apples. You and your husband are gems for sharing.

I love watching you and your husbands expressions He does not have many but your smile and excitement is contagious It is a joy and so educational I was scared to death of the pressure cookers. When I was young I did not know you should not cook a stew in them. It blew the bobber off and we all freaked out. I turned the stove off and yelled for the children to get under the table. One opened the kitchen door where I was going to throw it out and I seen once the heat was off the pressure was going down. Never did that again. We laugh about it today so your confidence has made me want to try it again

You can always take green toms, and take each one wrap in a newspaper. Stack them loosely in a box and store in a cool dark place. I used to stick the boxes under the bed in a cool bedroom. They will keep for weeks. I use to do this when I was gardening. And did ya know you guys were featured in an article in the Aug issue of Rural Missouri? I got my CoMo rural and there ya all were. Congrats on what your doing. How I wish I were young again so I could farm and do it all over . I really miss fresh food, and I miss working on my garden. I use to just go sit on the ground in my garden and pass the time away. Many Blessings children , your doing great!!!!!!

I just ordered those tomato corers and cant wait to get them. I also bought the ball canning book after watching one of your videos and totally agree with you, its a great book and I love it. I have canned different things this yr from that book that I haven't canned before. If your a canner then that book is a must have.. 🙂

@tlcmercer3427 3 года назад

You can Totally eliminate that step of peeling skins..For making sauces.. which I hate.. I core, quarter and put them in my Ninja . It pulverizes them ., then I just add all the seasonings for what ever I’m making and cook down then take my immersion blender to make a beautiful consistency. Beautiful Bounty you have there., when I was young.. lol., I planted 250 tomato plants each yr.,Plus all the other things but I loved it.. 63 crept up and slowed me down .. just a bit.. 😂

Thank you for this. Last year was my first year canning and I decided to pressure can my tomato sauce and paste. It was fraught with trouble, I had a new canner that was working well and a new used canner that had a malfunctioning gage. I had both canners set up and running when I discovered this so I turned the canner with the bad gage off and used my new canner. When it came time to process the cans had been up and down in heat and pressure a couple times, that may have caused the issue or maybe it was just plain and simple siphoning. My husband was looking into the pot as I removed the jars and one of them exploded, the jar falling from my burnt arm hit another and it exploded as well. My husband had 2nd degree burns to mostly his forehead and scalp, I had burns on my arm, hand, face and head. I have not been eager to can again,but I want to store our garden food for us to eat later so I am going to try again. Thank you for your careful and cautious instructions, I think it will help.

@vickisavage8929 3 года назад

Lisa Nowakow Pressure canning is NOT to be done with defective equipment! ALWAYS get your gauges checked for accuracy at the start of the season! The extension service will GLADLY do it for you and they are set up to do it. A defective canner is a bomb waiting to go off. For your own sake, treat it like one!

@anjicwood750 3 года назад

Thank you! I'm waiting for my first canner to arrive from America. In the meantime is it OK to freeze my tomato harvest? Should I prep them first before freezing or is it best to freeze whole and prep after defrosting ready to can? I'm so excited to start!

@vickisavage8929 3 года назад

Anji Cwood From everything I have read, freeze them whole. The skins will slip off easily, but they will need coring. Save the juice!

I want to ask about your recovery from your hysterectomy. Please work cautiously and continue to not lift heavy weight as it can cause slight damage that may weaken your internal healing. Be cautious. Let others lift things as you would after a baby. My recovery took 16 weeks of gentle and increasing activity. The clinic that assisted my recovery was great. I am thankful that I went slowly. My friend who had a hysterectomy one week after I did, returned to working and carrying and she now has bladder leaks, and an distended odd shaped stomach because she didn't slowly build up her core. Take care. Take it easy. Talk to a physiotherapist about a good recovery plan of gentle exercise.

Phew - pressure canned diced tomatoes today. Sarah, you make it look easier than I found it to be. Our tomatoes have a hard white core, so I had to cut a lot of it out. I made 7 quarts because that's what fits my pressure canner. I tried to follow every step carefully, but sadly, I still experienced some siphoning. The level is still acceptable, but I must have done something wrong. May or may not try this again! Tomato sauce was so much easier!

@brianeisenga882 3 года назад

@@sparkofhope-withkatrinadar8707 I put onion, peppers, celery in spaghetti, along with oregano and the tomatoes are in a little bigger chunks. And they go in quart jars. Tomato sauce takes forever to cook down recipe is different I put it through food processor. And my hand crank to make sure it is consistent, in pints. My pizza sauce is in jam jars. It's kinda half way between spaghetti and sauce. My recipes I found online and my Betty Crocker cook book for canning.

The NCHFP does have some recipes for 45 min water baths. Particularly one titled Crushed Tomatoes With No Added Liquid.

But I’m still not sure how that recipe differs from what Sarah did here 🤷‍♀️ Hopefully I will figure it out one day. 😂
