Thanks, it was great to find this video.

[@justdigitfarms]

Glad it was helpful!

[@denisefaust6408]

I can’t wait to try your 2 tomato recipes this year! Good to hear that the refrigerated ones keep so long! ( I will make sure they are layered and covered always with the juice they made or more oil. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!

You are welcome!

You have a beautiful place.

Tracy, your Limelight Hydrangeas are absolutely gorgeous.

[@justdigitfarms]

Thank you. They are one of my many favorites!

[@Snellgrovej6931]

Those tomatoes look delucious and appreciate you showing how to can them. Never knew you cou could add other ingredients. Continued prayers for your health. Also hope you are enjoying your new Grandbaby as much as possible. Take care and God Bless.

Thank you so much. And I sure am!!!!

You are so welcome. Thank you for watching!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Those look so good. I've got to try the new recipe.

[@justdigitfarms]

I’m so excited about the canned ones (your recipe). You served them to us when we were at your house and they were delicious!!!!

[@conniehernandez1915]

Tracy I’m sure you’re done this before but whenI have too many tiny tomatoes ripen all at once. I just pop them in a ziplock bag once their washed and put them in the freezer. The peeling will just peel right off once they freeze. Then you can just open the bag up and grab a few out and drop them in whatever your cooking. I also make salsa out of the entire tiny tomatoes peelings and all. I especially like the Juliet tiny tomatoes. They produce lots of tomatoes and aren’t as small as the sweet 100. I need to try the mountain vineyards.

[@susichristianson3395]

That freezer is my favorite kind of tip! 🍅 Thanks.

[@susichristianson3395]

Your tomato 🍅 confit recipe sounds good. Handy to have it in the fridge. I never knew what a confit was, Teacher Tracy.🤩Thanks! I learn so much from you. As always from CA🏖️take care.

[@justdigitfarms]

I do that with my big tomatoes but I’ve never done that with my littles ones. I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

[@sammi-joreviews1135]

@@justdigitfarmsI do this every year. My tomatoes always manage to go in the ground staggered, which means they don’t always come off at the same ripeness at the same time. And while I do cook with them all year around, even in the summer months, I know I can freeze them all at the same peak of ripeness, even the cherry, sun gold, & grape tomato varieties. This year I planted a few Brandywine variety tomatoes. They taste wonderful; however, I’m not keen on how they grow. I guess I’m spoiled from growing Parker’s Whopper, Better Boy, Roma, & San Marzano tomatoes, in addition to the small cherry/grape tomatoes. I really hoped to actually get a chance to sun dry tomatoes this year. Sadly, we’ve had high humidity all season. I’ve even had to dry out my sunflower seeds indoors this year. I’ll be roasting more of them soon. The mammoth sunflowers have grown beautifully. All the sunflower varieties did well this year; they did so well that I’ve been able to share a few sunflower heads with the birds who stop by the gazebo fly-thru feeder. 😊

[@shawnahubble1220]

I primarily grow JULIETS to can, have been for the last 5 years.👍🏻 I grow 10 plants of Juliets, 2 plants per 15 gallon grow bag and i eat fresh and can bout 45qts them a season..i also luv chocolate cherries and sweet millions , those we dont eat fresh go in with the a juliets to be canned..I use a immersion blender and lightly blend the up as the cook, then can em..YUMMY 😋

I also start from seed. Long day onions. Usually never have a problem. But bad year lost 500 to dampening off in March😢 We start onions and celery in Jan or Feb and harvest Sept-Oct. Short season zone 3 Last frost June 1 First frost September 5. Have lost beans, squash, pumpkins in first week in August to a frost. 3 years that happened. Our main garden does not get planted till 3rd week of May to end of first week of June. Love the ideas for cherry tomatoes. 💞🇨🇦

That looks amazing! I made tomato sauce with my Roma's a few days ago while watching your video on what to do with all those tomatoes, and I told my husband next I want to do some canning! I know now what to do with all the cherry tomatoes besides just treating the chickens with them before they go bad! 😅❤🫶 Thank you for the inspiration!

Those onions!!! ( Chin on the floor! ) Going to start seeds from onions this winter. Your garden is doing amazing.

How awesome! I’m going to do the roasted cherry tomatoes in a pan because my back has gotten so bad I can’t stand more than 10 minutes at a time, this will help greatly.

[@denisefaust6408]

Last yr was my first yr to find a recipe to use my mixture of 4 diff cherry tomato varieties. I basically did the same as this video but my hubby helped me to cut all the tomatoes in half, coated in olive oil and layer them on my largest cookie sheet in a single layer. I baked them @ 375 for 90 min on the middle rack in the oven. After they were ready I put them in a different container to help them cool down so I could put in my food processor while warm NOT HOT. I puréed them skins & seeds. I seasoned with Redman’s Real salt, all my own herbs, basil, thyme, oregano( all the seasonings that are in Italian Seasoning) I then put this in 1 C containers to freeze(pizza sauce) for personal flat bread pizzas for hubby & I. Can’t wait to try them this week! Well that pizza sauce is sooo good. I tasted it after I made it. I think the mixture of 4 different tomatoes I had is what did it!!! Red Sweet 100, A variety that was a bigger than cherry/ salad tomato, grape variety, Sun Sugar yellow variety. This was my first time with this yellow cherry variety and it’s a keeper for sure. It will replace my yellow pear Tom! So sweet and juicy. Yummy! It’s a wonder I even had a surplus to do this with cos I picked them and ate them like grapes! Lol So so glad I found a use for a lg harvest of the cheery tomatoes!

Love your home and garden. Will be trying all recipes. Question: Do we need to acidify the tomatoes for canning? (Lemon juice or citric acid?

In Mama Hoss’s recipe, she uses 2T bottled lemon or lime juice per quart before she adds the water

Yes you do I accidentally skipped this step🤦‍♀️

[@mysticmom616]

Hi! First time viewer and new subscriber here!! Watching your video made me want to try these recipes. With that being said, I wanted to point out a discrepancy that could affect the food safety of the canned tomatoes. I went to the link for Mama Hoss’s recipe and she added 2 T lemon juice to each quart of the canned tomatoes when she added the hot water. You did not have that in your version and I fear it could affect the safety of the final product long term. I hate to be “that person” and I’m pretty laid back in all regards except for food preservation safety. Please know this comes only with good intent. That’ll you again for your wonderful video and I look forward to watching all of your library. ❤️

[@justdigitfarms]

Hi! Welcome to our channel. We are so glad you are here! I accidentally left the lemon juice out🤦‍♀️ I did have someone tell me it’s ok I didn’t need to add it in tomatoes, but I have been taught you do add lemon to tomatoes. I accidentally skipped this step!

[@karenbarrows6127]

I put some in my sauce and it tasted terrible. I can't believe most people don't taste it. I read that we can use citric acid so I bought some for next time. Is this true? What do you think?

[@coylefamily4]

I personally never add anything to my canned tomatoes other than salt. Never have had them go bad, not once. To me, lemon juice or vinegar ruin the flavor. Just my opinion though.

[@Rystical1]

I don't add lemon juice to mine but I'm new to this preserving anything. I'm in my 2nd year and learning so much! Man, I love KZbin! I've been roasting and stovepipe cooking them and then freezing. I only use olive oil when doing both methods.

Just one question, as I have preserved food since the age of 4 😆, but I have never done cherry tomatoes, and now I have way too many in my garden... Why 55 minutes boiling? Isn't that way too long , with conservation of regular tomatoes boiling is 15 min max. Rly curios why such a long time

Question... Can you pressure-cook the canned cherry tomatoes? And if so, 5, 10 or 15lbs and how long?
