Canning Tomatoes


Petee

Recommended Posts

I always got beautiful tomatoes at Ringold hydroponic never had a bad one. I am so use to just calling down and they have my order waiting for me.  I only had to pay $5.00 box 40 pound and put up a lot of pizza sauce.  Called down yesterday the secretary told me the factory sold out they had to have all their stuff packed and out there by middle of October. When I was down last time there was a unusual amount of out of state cars in parking lot, guess that explains why. I will really miss the tomato factory.  Yes you can  or freeze the tomato sauce when I freeze them I double bag in heavy freezer bags, I get my seasoning cheaper  at Amish store in Troutville Raspberry Lane they have all types of seasonings and canning supplies. If you go down to 410 there is a Kurtz bulk food store in back of the house, they keep a good selection of different products plus the seasonings. Different Amish stores carry different products if tomato paste and sugar which I use in mine are on sale grab them the paste is in cans just check the expiration date even if you get it from a grocery store, sugar I keep in glass gallon jars, keeps bugs out of sugar.

I am proud of the fact you are canning, saves money and you have food that you did you know what is in it. Just be careful if you make jelly you have to stay with it, if it boils over you could have a fire.  I love apple butter usually put up at least 50 quarts, now is time to get apples for sauce or apple butter.  Pull up Ball canning recipe on computer make a copy of the recipe you use, I like the refrigerated pickles easy to do just keep refrigerated they won't last long they are great I put them in glass gallon jars in frige in basement and only bring up what is going to be needed for the week. Good luck, I am still looking for string beans some farmers had to replant this year due to heavy rain we had so they may still have later crops of beans, if you see any please e-mail me.

Good luck
