By now you ’ve belike finished harvesting and making your tomato sauce but I have to share how I do it .
I farm many tomatoes each yr and make LOTS of tomato sauce as a effect . But canning it does n’t happen until tardy fall after harvest season is done .
I use to make it the onetime style path of assign the tomatoes in boiling urine until the skin splits , then place it in ice urine to stop cooking , then peel off off the peel and squeeze the tomato and succus in bowls to block . Tiring — very tiring and it takes great deal of time .
Now I make tomato plant sauce the easy fashion . I finally suffer a food strainer ( sometimes called a food manufactory ) that separates the tegument and stems from the pulp , juice and seeds making an uncooked tomato sauce in record time . My food strainer is from Victorio . It comes with one sieve that is fine meshing . I also get the salsa screen because I desire my sauce thick . I can process about 20 lbs of tomato in 10 - 15 minutes . But permit ’s start from the beginning .
First you ’ll need some tomatoes . salutary and continuous tense blemish tomato plant are perfect for take a shit sauce . These had hail damage but tasted serious .
Here are the tools - a plunger to force to Lycopersicon esculentum through ( comes with the nutrient strainer ) , a ladle , and a serrated tongue to cut the tomato plant in chunks to fit in funnel shape . This outgrowth is mussy so embrace your table !
Cut up and put the Lycopersicon esculentum in the food strainer funnel . No need to take off skins , the strainer will do it for you .
Here is some sauce part done . The food strainer has separated the sauce out into this unripe bowl . You crank the handle and campaign the tomato plant into the funnel shape using the red plunger . The strainer cue me of a meat hero except it grinds up tomatoes rather . It also can be used to make grape juice from grape and applesauce or apricot sauce .
The other side of the nutrient mill spits out the pelt . I also cut off the stems shown in bowlful . The chickens will fuck getting this bowl !
Here is the bowl full of rich rude tomato plant sauce quick to bag with more tomatoes in the background quick to make sauce .
I put about 12 cups of raw tomato sauce in a congius sizing freezer bag . I do n’t like to overfill them . I also squeeze out the air while I ‘ zipper ’ them up . Be sure you zipper it well or it could leak out when you rest it flat .
Here is the bare-ass Lycopersicon esculentum sauce — bagged and quick to freeze . Notice I have dissimilar colors of sauce coming from different colors of tomato . Later I either cook the bags of bleak sauce up for a recipe or I stop up canning them when my freezer is too full and I ’ve recovered from crop time of year !
