    Try opening both the top and bottom of the tomato paste. Remove the top lid and then use the bottom lid to push the paste out of the can. The bottom lid scrapes the inside wall of the can. This eliminates waste and saves time.

      @peekmeone, that way you can leave the tops in the can & flatten them so they take up less space in the recycle bin?

    This video about picante sauce & water bath canning is by far the best and most informative clip I've ever seen! Thank you for your enthusiasm, knowledge, and beautiful face & voice❤❤❤❤🥰 I am 76 years young 4th generation Texan with hot sauce in my blood. I received the big Ball Blue book as a gift and still use my copy of the original Ball Blue Book I got from my grandmother. I've been growing (organic) & canning for over 60 years & my husband and I really appreciate Y'all Y'all

    Kevin and Rachel (at Hidden Heights Farm RUclips channel) freeze dried some of their Salsa as well as canned some. They reconstitued some just to see how they liked it. They said the whole family liked the freeze dried better than the canned. They said it seemed to enhance the flavor. You should give it a try and see what you guys think. I'd be interested to hear what you think.

    I put my tomatoes in a large roaster pan and put in the oven to skin them. the peels Come off easily, and the tomatoes don't get waterlogged like boiling does. In the oven the flavor deepens further.

  • @deloresochoa6235

    Sarah, we do a roasted salsa...the same veggies, but we make each salsa different with the choice of hot peppers. One salsa is habanero, another is jalapeno, and a spicy sweet pepper and so on. We roast everything, tomatoes, onions, garlic and the peppers all separately. The roasted taste is wonderful. For the hot peppers we have a camping stove outside and do them outside because the hot peppers can burn your eyes and throat. The wonderful aroma makes your mouth water, but it can cause some to cry or cough. Crazy right? But the taste is amazing. It's the same recipe you are using Sarah but roasted. We went to Mexico about ten years ago to visit family and my cousins taught us this recipe. And yes, they do have outdoor kitchens that they use year around. Learned so much while we were there. GOD continue to bless you and your family, in Jesus Christ Amen. Love to all.

    Sarah I have the same ball canning book and I love mine. I just never thought about blending it up to make picante sauce.

  • @kimberlywalders6063
    @kimberlywalders6063 Год назад

    My nephew put all the veggies on his grill and roasted them smoked . Omg that A game changer. Put foil under your grate to catch any juice dripping down. Close and slowly smoke the tomatoes, celery, garlic, onions, peppers ect. We cored the tomatoes and seeded bell peppers. When there done the peelers will slip right off. Then when done proceed smacking picante/ salsa! Yum

    Hi Sarah, I just put my scalded tomatoes on a large sheet pan, one layer, and by the time I get a tray full the end I started with is cool enough to peel. Saves the mess of a cold water bath and keeps the tomatoes nicer when cold packing tomato halves. Also if you are chopping them for something they are less wet and squishy.❤

    I just saw a Facebook post from someone who got ahold of some discarded trays from a bakery. They were plastic, easily sanitized, and shallow...perfect for storing tomatoes. At the end of the season, they put a tray of overripe fruit on top and covered a stack of green tomatoes with a plastic tarp. As the ethylene gas from the fruit accumulated, the tomatoes finished ripening.

    Hello Rach!!! I was just catching up on my videos while eating my breakfast. This video goes perfect with my breakfast as I put picante sauce on my sausage,egg& cheese scramble. I had a tip or thought for you. We can as well. When we can our tomatoes we do most of the same steps. Where we differ is we boil water and pour it over a sink full of the tomatoes and pull them as soon as the peel starts to release and sometimes we put them in the other side of the sink in cold water. Or we set aside to cool a little. Cuts down on the heat & dishes.

  • @kittyfruitloop8264
    @kittyfruitloop8264 Год назад +1

    To save even more time, I've learned to use a food processor directly after coring the tomatoes.. Blitz, and then all those skins are chopped up fine and is just added pulp to my stewed tomatoes. For chunky salsa, I blitz half the tomatoes and dice the rest, it gives a better consistency than dicing alone. Now for ketchup or something I want just tomato juice and no pulp, I put that through my Kitchen Aid applesauce maker attachment. That attachment is a game changer for applesauce making too!. I definitely need to get one of those tomato corer tools and the dicer thingy. Thanks for posting!

    The picante looks wonderful! I like mine with just a little kick of pepper hotness so I usually remove most of the seeds. One of my friends told me yesterday that a lot of the vinegar is now only 4% acidity instead of 5% so I guess we now need to pay attention to that for canning.

    Sarah.. I enjoyed watching your video about making picante salsa. I noticed you using tomato paste. I watched you scoop the paste out of the cans and thought I would share with you a tip that someone gave me for easy removal of tomato paste from the cans.. when you have opened one end of the can.. using a hand held can opener, open the other end of the can and push the paste through the can with the lid from the bottom of the can that you have just opened.. easy peasy.. the paste pushes smoothly out of the can with almost no waste. Keep your videos going.. you are GREAT! .. Elaine B.

    I absolutely LOVE produce boxes. I recieve numerous produce boxes when I get donations from a gentleman that brings them to my apartment complex. I make what you are calling picante sauce as my pasta sauce and then I can it after I put through an immersion blend because my daughters have sensory issues. I, however, keep the skins in the sauce to make it taste mre tomatoey because I also often will add kale, spinach and zucchinis as well. All of this gives my sauce the extra zip to be used for tacos, burritoes, enchiladas as well as any pasta or pizza dishes. Thank you for sharing. I have that book and that is exactly the recipe I use (with my own additions) as I said earlier. Will you be participating in the every bit counts challenge this year as well?

    just a quick shout when boiling/chilling the tomatoes, use a large tamale steamer with the top basket for the boiling water, and 5 gallon bucket that the steamer basket will fit into, for the chill water. just plunge whole basket into the boiling water, then pull whole basket and plunge into cold water. much faster, simpler, and no burns.
