I also processed a bunch of tomatoes into sauce...good stuff.  Pick up a Roma Tomato mill (or similar) and you can make sause real quick.  You can water bath for this, but have to add some lemmon juice (two table spoons/qt).  Or you can pressure process without the lemmon juice.

wow, that sounds great! we have a mixed bunch of tomatoes this year. i haven't decided what to make with them yet, but tomato sauce sounds like a fabulous idea. make some with meat and some without.

great idea!! :dancingtrio:

I used to de-seed and skin by hand until I picked up a mill from ebay for $50.  I should have done that a long time ago.  It saves so much time.

Original Message last year i canned for the first time. wow, i was nervous.

this year, i'm doing better. i have been canning like mad.

if you'd like, tell us your how's and why's. learning to preserve food is one of the most important skills a person can learn.

if you have a picture of your preserved foods uploaded, let me know and i'll post it for you.

a good source for shtf or urban farming...
