Turning GARDEN Fresh Tomatoes into PIZZA Sauce!

Rachel is really busy with her "day job" today, so Todd will try to translate her recipe book here for you guys 🙄 This is the base from her book, I'm pretty sure she doubled it in the video:
15# Tomatoes
6 tbsp Olive Oil
3 C chopped onions
4 gloves garlic minced
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp brown sugar
4 tbsp parsley
2 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp basil
2 tsp rosemary
2 tsp sea salt
Lemon Juice per pint jar for water bath canning.
3 cans tomato paste, as needed to thicken
(Todd's Taste Test - we added a lot of garlic powder, like 1/4 of a cup, and an additional 1/3 of a cup of white sugar. You tweak it yourself at this stage, add what you like ♥)
We've updated the kitchen / canning section of our Amazon shop, to include many more of the additional items we use in our videos. You can check it out here: www.amazon.com...

I remember when you first started out with your itty bitty tomato seedlings and was so unsure if they would even survive. Now you have baskets sitting on your counter and jars of your sauce made from your harvest. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 yay you! Great job Rachel. Please try to rest. We’re here and not going anywhere. Feel better soon.

[@alliwags4929]

I just finished canning 22 pints of this pizza sauce. I love it so much. And I was amazed to see you using your roaster for tomatoes and picked up a second hand roaster for myself last year. It is such a good idea. I had a wee setback when it wouldn’t turn on this year. I’m single so I don’t have a handy husband to fix things. But thanks to KZbin I was able to fix it. It took longer to name the broken bit (ring terminal) and find where to buy it, than to replace it! But that’s all part of this lifestyle, when gardening or cooking or around the house, isn’t it? Never being afraid to try something new, even if you have to teach yourself. So thank you for always having positive encouragement. ❤️😊

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hi Rachel. You look much better today. In Today's last video, he told everyone you were not feeling well. I hope you are feeling much better today. What a great pizza video. It is so relaxing, and a lot of work. But it is so worth it. God Bless you Rachel. Take care of yourself. Love you. Maria.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍅🍕🍅🍅🍅🍅🍕🍕🍕🍕😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🌡🌡🌡🌡🌡🌡🌡🌡🌡🌡😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kieraconte5874]

yay! I'm planning to can this soon too, great info. You're so brave for canning tomato's while wearing a white shirt! 🙌

[@catherinejones6481]

I’m watching this from my pergola during Sydney lockdown on a sunny day while chopping up home grown cumquats for marmalade. It’s like hanging with a girlfriend chewing the fat, unfortunately it is a one way conversation 😂

[@niecieyukiye6654]

Beautiful!! Kudos to you for canning while not feeling well...you are definitely a huge inspiration to me.

[@ErinsTastyHeritage]

Rachael, I love you said that you put your canning recipes in a canning recipe book! I’m going to adopt that idea! I keep a recipe notebook but having a canning book seems helpful!!!

[@amyjo987]

Ok. I've watched an ENORMOUS amount of your videos & I keep thinking....she's gonna explain that beautiful salt bowl someday.... Alas....no clues at all.....It looks Christmassy to me, is it? Is it a family heirloom? You must adore it, to keep it out all year long with that beautiful Christmas tree with the "heart star" on it....Just wondering. You've inspired me beyond measure in the areas of gardening & canning. So....thank you.....😊💕

[@charlainehigley8817]

Alpha Papa .. Rachel's salt bowl is from Pioneer Woman's dish line .. it's pretty.

[@judyjohnson1012]

My favorite sound while canning is hearing those lids pop! I can’t wait to try this recipe!

[@longarmsupplies]

Isn't hearing the lids snap the most satisfying sound ever?

[@mindyrussell9464]

The crud is going around. We've had it too. Glad you're feeling better. I made 22 half pints if pizza sauce yesterday!

[@tammyjocooke-ov1nw]

The pings!!!🥰 always love my morning coffee and Rachel / Todd videos!!

[@rrsnyder591]

I made this recipe and my children love it so much!! It’s so easy to make the pizza from scratch even during a weekday! Thank you!

[@briannatuttle1028]

Woohoo! Adding to my canning playlist 😍

[@cyndygaastra]

Thank you for this video. I want to start canning again, so I started with pizza sauce. I'm watching lots of your videos.

[@4beefarm265]

I canned tomato paste for the first time last week. I’ll be saving this for next year when I plant/grow more! Thanks for sharing 💚🌱

[@cathyl4622]

So did you use paste tomatoes? Did you add any tomato powder or lemon juice?

[@artliferedo4490]

I just found your channel as this is my first year canning tomatoes. Can’t wait to try your pizza sauce recipe, looks delicious!

[@justpatty7328]

So happy you're on the mend. What a trooper to be canning already! Thank you for sharing your recipe. God bless!

[@postholedigger8726]

Great job, thanks for sharing your process. I have been cooking for many decades and in the past few years began cooking in larger batches. Two advantages of larger batches are being able to use fresh ingredients in grocery store quantities, and a reduction in cooking time for each individual meal. Instead of making tomato sauce for one meal in a frying pan, I now make the sauce in 4 to 5 gallon quantities. I put one gallon of sauce in a stainless steel hotel pan in the refrigerator and the other 4 gallons in 1 gallon lidded plastic storage containers in the freezer. Videos like this one showing the advantage of using a roaster to cook larger quantities of sauces and broths have been very helpful. I have found that allowing the tomatoes to ripen before cooking and making a vegetable broth from a finely minced mirepoix (onions, carrots, celery, peppers, cilantro) eliminates the need to add sugar to the sauce. This is how I make the mirepoix. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3u9q2aJbLeFmJo I put the minced mirepoix and liquid in a 22 quart roaster and slow cook it for several hours. This needs to cook until the finely minced vegetables soften and essentially disappear into the liquid. I then add about 100 diced Roma tomatoes and cook everything for several more hours. This produces a richer better tasting sauce than the usual method of cutting the vegetables into large chunks and then throwing them away after they are cooked.

[@kimberlee2469]

Feel better soon Rachel! Sending you healing energy and prayers xo

[@susieann1217]

Instead of buying paste, have you tried dehydrating some of your tomatoes and adding them instead? Just wondering how that would work out. I have saved my skins before and added them to homemade chili and it worked well.

[@wildheart5086]

I make my own paste.

[@jswhosoever4533]

I plan to keep all my skins this year to dehydrate and grind. I want to make my own paste but not sure if I'll have enough tomatoes. I've never done either before so wish me luck😊

[@67BillyJean]

I kept and dehydrated all my skins last year and love them for my cooking, but man it’s a lot of nit picky tedious work. Spreading them out on dehydrator trays. lol Especially when your bringing in so much harvest.

[@jackiecrispin]

Finally this morning I took the time to write your recipe in my book. This coming summer I'm going to try this.

[@sheilavilla6707]

Pizza sauce, great idea! I have alot of tomatoes, and peppers too. My garden is a small one but it makes me so happy.

[@bumblebee7982]

Yummy! I used to can & loved the obsession of it, like a busy bee.

[@giaginette1]

I would definitely pay good money for an hour with your canning cookbook!!!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Continue to take good care, Rachel! Canning tomato sauce is next on my summer canning list. This looks so good!!!

[@carolmcmillan1108]

Love watching you fill your grocery store 👌😊

[@regularmompantrylife2587]

I made this last year and it was our favorite recipe of the ones we tried. I found I had about 25 of the bigger cans of commercial tomatoes that had a best by date of today to Sept. 1st. I also had some tomato paste with similar dates. I'm going to give your recipe a try using those. I'm sure it will be good although maybe a little less bright and summery tasting.

[@janetgrooms4008]

The most beautiful sound ever hearing those lids pop

[@cassileigharts]

I just made these today. I made your 3 for 1 last week. You are correct in it being amazing! I have 30 pounds of tomatoes left of my season. The inspiration is top notch.

[@_thatchickchris8246]

Looks amazing! I have some garden veggie sauce just about to come off pressure. Smells so good!

[@lucieengen7046]

You guys, this pizza sauce is supreme! Made it last year and making it again tomorrow. Thanks Rachael for sharing this recipe, we absolutely love it and plan on gifting some for Christmas 😊.

[@1870s]

Glad you liked it!!

[@alliwags4929]

I used this recipe last summer and loved it. I just pulled the rest of my tomatoes from the freezer and made another batch because last summer’s is all gone! Plan is to make at least double this summer. Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@AcornHillHomestead]

I think you hit it out of the park. I’ve made a few batches of this sauce in half pints since its just the two of us. I topped a cracker thin crust and it worked out so nice since the sauce is nice and thick. I also made an open faced sandwich with veggies and cheese. Wowee!! Bye bye store bought!! Thanks so much for sharing this. I wish we had a roaster. 10lbs at a time is tedious in the cock pot but its a great use of the tomatoes this year. Only 12 more jars to go. It really is easy and little work. I like recipes where I don’t peel tomatoes and this recipe works great with the blending stick.

[@jenanielson]

Glad you are feeling better. I would love, and pay for a collection of your canning recipes!

[@mike1968442]

Love it! Home town girl (I’m from Rochester Hills, Mi) but now In Az. I don’t like snow. If you were close I would buy some from you. This year I’m going to can my pizza sauce too. Can’t wait!

[@jenboyles5381]

Looks beautiful! I did tomato sauce w days ago and it was a much easier with the no peel method. I also made the blueberry jam with the chia seeds the other day. I am going to wait 2 weeks to open and try it. I only let it sit about an hour or so and it looks a bit seedy still, which is fine in the end. I'll let ya know how we like it.

[@dawncatalano7443]

Hi! Yes, that is some beautiful garlic! Loved the video and I hope you are feeling better. Thank you for teaching me!

[@angiecox7628]

I hope you get well soon! Thanks for all you share!

[@denisebrady6858]

Oh Rachel so glad to see you up & about xxxx. I am making mine tomorrow as winter time is tomato time for us here & I have an abundance- I will definitely be trying your recipe with a couple of tweaks as well. Cheers Denise- Australia

[@sherry2836]

I love your pizza sauce. With so many tomatoes, I wonder if you and Todd could tell us the flavor of the varieties you grow? Not really a taste test but more of a personal best. Thanks!

[@gretchenarrant8334]

Absolutely love your videos! Thanks for sharing.

[@sandrinefresne6575]

Thanks for the great recipe. I would love to have a look into your book ! Or be a fly in your kitchen … love ❤️ what you do

[@robertschroeder1978]

Rachael & Todd, thanks again for the video and canning info. Will need to give this a try soon. (Rockford MI)

[@teresawebster3498]

The sound of popping to end it all up😊

[@maryannditullio2581]

Can’t believe you did all that cooking with a fever and still not one hundred percent! You sure made a wonderful pizza sauce. Thank you so much! Now to look for your spaghetti sauce! 💕

[@mapleviewfarm1]

Looks delish! Hope you are feeling better!

[@amybrown8528]

Summer illness is the woorrst. Glad you're feeling better. This isn't much different than the spaghetti sauce, except no additional veggies and a bit thicker? Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@amyparker1762]

Glad you’re feeling better. This recipe looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing 🍕 🍅 🍕

[@loriy7532]

Hey there Rachel , Sorry your feeling out of sorts , maybe you need to just chill for now. We will wait for you. Your sauce looks great. My hubby thought it would be great for me to make pizza sauce this year. I usually just put up tomatoes and tomato sauce with big sprigs of sweet Basil in the jar. I am going to do the pizza sauce tomorrow, happily .....

[@merje6307]

I made it last year and it was my favourite pizza sauce. This year I have to make double 😀 Thank you!!

[@rachelschmaltz3092]

This looks so good. Im going to be doing tomato products for the 1st time this year. So excited. Thank you so much for teaching me. God bless

[@pamschonfarber1041]

Power through girl, hope you feel better!

[@janicewoodard-heath7933]

Just made a huge batch of this sauce and it is delicious!! Thank you for sharing! I have been making pizza sauce for years and this has been the best!

[@lanabisson2675]

Rachel I hope your feeling better soon. Pizza sauce is on my list to can, as well as my own ROTEL tomato mix.

[@pamelapitrone7639]

Looks yummy! Hope you feel better!

[@ACryin_Shame]

Hope you are feeling better rachel!💚💚

[@lindapoe4124]

Oh my goodness. I made this yesterday and I will never buy pizza sauce again. Thanks so much Rachel!!

[@jeannekleinknecht3480]

Have been waiting patiently since you hinted about making this video. Can't wait to make some.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Sorry you’ve been sick! Hope you’re all better now. I use the pizza sauce recipe from An Oregon Cottage, except I add fennel seed. I think it gives a special “pizza” flavor. I also use tomato paste in my pizza and spaghetti sauce to get the right thickness. She advises to can it in 12oz jars, as that is a good amount for 1 medium or large pizza. I go in for surgery in the morning, thank you for your prayers!

[@1870s]

Take care and will pray for an efficient surgery and speedy recovery

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@1870s Thanks so much! I have peace, I know the Lord is with me.

[@carolsferra3582]

This is fantastic!!!!! I however cannot believe you had no sauce on your shirt in the end lol!!! That would have never happened in my kitchen no matter how careful I was!!!!!

[@jeanettefoster4051]

I will be making this. And your tomatoes are beautiful setting there on counter

[@joycewilson3734]

Just got done making my pizza sauce 18 pints. What a beautiful sight. Thank you for sharing, I just love watching you and Tod. What a beautiful couple you are.

[@oceangolf3076]

I made this 2 days ago. We’re gonna make pizza subs today. I can’t wait. It sure tasted delicious out of the pan!

[@catracampolieto8989]

I can't wait to can spaghetti and pizza sauces. My tomatoes are trickling in. I have some in the freezer. My tomatoes just started blushing last week. I hope I'll get enough green beans to actually pressure can something. I've been blanching carrots and green beans. Not enough at one time coming in. Hope you feel better very soon. Sending prayers for healing.

[@jswhosoever4533]

Love that ending...pop...pop......pop!

[@laurieshatney9279]

Glad your feeling better. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. I'm going to try this for sure. I love how you use your roaster oven to make your tomato products. Now I will be putting mine to better use now. I only used it around Thanksgiving and Christmas time when I had big meals to prepare. Thank you for your time.

[@davebodily6807]

We bottle all of our tomato's whole in quarts jars. That way we can make many things out of them, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, chili, soups, ect... You can even make juice, just strain the seeds. We also use Citric acid instead of lemon juice, it doesn't change the taste of the tomato's.

[@cathyl4622]

So citric acid doesn't make your sauce bitter and acidic?

[@MatthewSherriff85]

This is great timing, thanks. I have a freezer full pf tomatoes from last year here in Australia i need to use before the new ones start coming in, and i buy a lot of pizza sauce so i was considering this.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Thanks, Rachel!

Thanks for this video! I am making mine today and I am a first-timer!

[@1870s]

Oh enjoy!!

[@stephen12264]

Hi ya'll this looks absolutely delicious. I bet it would make a wonderful chili as well. My wife likes a thicker chili than I do she would absolutely love this. Thanks guy's for a wonderful looking recipe. I'm very glad to see you feeling better. You are in my prayers of course. Heal fast feel better and thank God. God Bless.

[@sandrabeauchamp4207]

Sooo happy you fill much better amen 🙏

Oh I agree that is some really nice garlic. I love the stuff, and could eat garlic in everything haha. Your pizza sauce looks Beautiful, perfect thickness. Ill bet it is the BOMB!!!

[@debbieembury6885]

I freeze dry a batch of sliced tomatoes and use that instead of tomato paste and it uses up some of those extra tomatoes

Thank you for sharing even while under the weather! My kinda strong woman ♡

[@carriem7832]

Ahh you read my mind….I want to can something everyday this week that we like the most…pizza is one. My husband likes naan bread pizzas so it’s nice to have some in freezer then pop the ingredients on it quickly. Being gardening season it’s nice to have quick meals. Myself I would plant your green-stalk….it’s not plowing the earth and it’s that what’s it’s about…giving the earth a rest…. With the high cost of food I’d be canning and freeze drying all I could buy and buying store food s back up also. The Lord helps those who help themselves……are your children gardening?

[@andreamcdonald7291]

I canned salsa about 30 years ago. That was our best garden. We eat a lot of Mexican type food.

I got a large roaster at Goodwill. They always have several $5-$10.
