I'm a "Newbie" with just one yr experience at 65 yrs old! You are never too old to learn a new skill! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I can't wait to Can some tomatoes!

[@judyjackson639]

I’m 68 and started last year wish I learned years ago but that’s ok cause I love it now

[@2ponshomeplace132]

During the summer months I work myself silly trying to can all garden vegetable. Just learned from you ladies about saving them in the freezer until winter time. So smart on so many levels. IT EVEN HEATS THE HOUSE!!. Such smart mentors on this collaboration. ❤ summer time my tomatoes will be hanging out in my freezer.

[@fldotti]

Thank you I did not know I could jar them after freezer.thank you Liesa and forjars for putting this together.boy have I collected good info so far this month

[@jeaneaton2731]

That is a great idea for sure!

[@MsCindyh]

I was so glad to find this out also, but I need to get a second freezer!

[@marking-time-gardens]

Great idea to freeze the tomatoes in the summer and can in the winter! Just makes good sense in so many ways! Blessings on your day Kiddo!🌻🐛

[@lisacollier]

Canuary has been so enjoyable. I cannot say thank you enough to everyone for the videos. For Jars and Leisa are wonderful for sponsoring Canuary. I've gone back and watched last year's videos too 🎉

[@christyjarnigan5450]

I’ve been canning for years and this past summer had tomatoes coming out of my ears I never once thought FREEZE THEM AND DO THEM IN THE WINTER! Why did I not ever know you could do that! Thank you for this video you have saved my life in the future. Great idea! God bless ♥️

[@PhilReavis]

Great video Renee, looking forward to the next tomato season. Thank you for your participation in Canuary 2024.

[@bigmommajane9397]

Thank you again, Renee. I learned something new again today from you. As a new canner, I didn't realize frozen tomatoes needed to be processed differently than fresh. Thank you for your explanations. Thank you Aldo to Leisa and For Jars.

[@jocyneseeley6806]

Thank you and the rest of your group for all your help. I have enjoyed all of the videos. I'm now planning my garden. I have ordered my lids from fourjars. I'm very happy with them. When I received my order, I had a very nice message from them. They are sorry for not having the amounts that ordered ,so they filled my order with more than I ordered. Just a different package. I ended up with more lids. And my order only took 2 days. WOW . Best customer experience. Thank you.

[@brendaleers9854]

Another great job of explaining this way of using frozen tomatoes. I liked your reason why tomatoes frozen on the vine, cannot be used. I love how all you ladies consult with each other during these canning collaborations, like you did with 2leelou!!

[@pikecreekfarm]

She is so knowledgeable!

[@teresadroessler9872]

It’s what I do with my tomato’s too, since I never have enough at one time to do anything with. I will be processing mine soon too. Thank you for being part of Canuary. Love the Suttons Daze group, Leisa & ForJars!

[@elisseflahr7816]

Last summer, I finally took advice & froze my tomatoes instead of trying to process small batches. Now it's one large batch, time/worry saver for me!❤

[@libbyleatherwood6940]

Thank you for being a part of this collaboration ! I have some frozen tomatoes in my freezer that I need to use. Thank you Leisa and Forjars for all you do!

[@donna4804]

You are all so inspiring and encouraging to newbies like me. Thank you for the tips and keeping us safe. Blessings, Happy Canuary 24!

[@sariahgoff2449]

awesome! I'm new to canning (just got a canner for Christmas). How great to show that we can freeze until we have enough tomatoes for a batch of.... whatever... or enough time to do it! It's one of those things that makes sense if you think about it, but as a newbie, I just hadn't thought about it.Thanks!

[@marking-time-gardens]

Great idea to freeze tomatoes in the busy/warmer weather days. Then canning later in the winter with more time and cooler temperatures. Just makes good sense! Blessings on your day Kiddo!🌻🐛

[@julienoah395]

Thank you Renee for sharing all the useful information. This collaboration is so amazing and so helpful. Thanks to everyone involved

[@elizabethschmidt6913]

It's exciting and motivating to watch the Meal in a Jar and other 'fancier' things we can do for canning but simple recipes like this one are great, too. For me it is helpful to remember how busy harvest season can be (can't wait to start getting my garden going again!) and there are ways to not waste the abundance and extend the canning sessions. I also appreciate your tip of taking in consideration that frozen tomatoes will be different than fresh.

[@rodgerankarenhowell2952]

I like to can in the winter too. Helps keep the house warm. And puts some room in the freezer and jars on the shelves!!! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@DragonflyzPrepsteadNDesigns]

I love Canning! I have the Presto Precise Digital Pressure Canner and I love it. I need to get some more Canning done. 😊

[@nestpeeper]

Freezing tomatoes and making/canning sauce in the winter sure does lighten the load when garden harvest is in full swing. Thank you for the reminder. Canuary has been full of great ideas this year. Thanks for joining the colab, and thanks to Leisa and For Jars for sponsoring it.

[@jeannewhite7028]

I liked that you took the time to remove alot of the seeds. Your final product looks amazing. agree that a blustery day is a good day to can. Once I start putting tomatoes in the freezer I am pretty burnt out on summer canning. .but later on it is much more enjoyable. Thank you for participating in Canuary.

[@williamradford7890]

Canning extra Tomato sauce in the winter (using extra tomatoes from the freezer), and in in a toasty warm kitchen when it’s freezing cold outside. At least for me it is. What could be better? …Eating something with that delicious looking sauce you’ve made. You have a very nice looking meticulously made finished end product. 🤌👌 Thank you for sharing all the tips and details of this recipe. Happy Canning and Happy Canuary 2024! Love all the canners, water bath here, steam and pressure canners, and For Jar lids. Thanks :-)

[@rrobertson4191]

I haven't canned tomato tomato sauce yet I've only started a few months ago but thanks for sharing a helpful tutorial! 😊

[@pikecreekfarm]

You’re welcome 😊

[@teresabowles3103]

I always save my tomatoes in the freezer to can when the weather is cooler and everything else is canned. It seems every year all of my garden is ready for harvest at the same time. Thanks for being a part of this collaboration!

[@BerniPerrong]

What a great way to preserve the abundant tomato harvest! Thank you for sharing the process, and thanks to Leisa and For Jars for sponsoring the Canuary 2024 collaboration!

[@thehometownhomestead]

I’m digging out my freezer tomatoes this week! Perfect timing. Thanks for sharing!

[@mychellneptune-buon2479]

I have never canned tomatoes before. Thank you for an easy recipe on how to can frozen tomatoes. Something to consider when I have an excess of tomatoes from the garden. I am a newbie gardener and I am learning a lot from everyone who has been posting wonderful recipes for Canuary 2024.

[@WildOne71]

I’m cleaning out my freezer too👍👍👍

[@sandrarobinson6286]

I don’t know why tomato sauce has always eluded me? I never thought to thaw/cook them down like that, I just tried to put them through the mill. I never realized I missed the cooking step. (Very scary!). THANK YOU!!

[@jeaneaton2731]

Love Canuary! So many delicious recipes from this collaborative. Thanks Leisa from Suttonsdaze and forjars for sponsoring Canuary! So much fun!

[@ellenwilson8255]

My dilemma with growing tomatoes is the anxiety caused with getting everything processed during harvest. It is wonderful to learn that they can be frozen and then processed later (after I've slept for at least a week). Haha. It's good to know that frozen tomatoes need to be processed differently and with your great instructions it now feels possible. Thank you for participating in Canuary 2024 and thank you to Leisa and For Jars for sponsoring this great collaboration.

[@maryduncan4911]

I hope we get blessed this coming summer with tomatoes. The drought didn't help. Thank you for sharing this valuable experience. I look forward to doing this. Thank you for doing Canuary and sharing. Thank you Forjars and Lisa for participating.

[@karennoonan5047]

I'm hoping for a more productive tomato season summer 2024. My output was horrible last year... So, no frozen in my freezer. Looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

[@julianaminium1199]

I've been canning like crazy for the last week. All while binge watching Canuary 20224! (Almost forgot about it! Had to catch up!) Right now I'm working my way through clearing out the freezer, but in my case it's a ton of meat. I didn't have room to freeze tomatoes when my friends were giving away pounds and pounds of tomatoes in the fall.

[@niecieyukiye6654]

I freeze tomatoes during the summer as well. I just finished processing ten gallon sized bags (+/- 50 lbs) of frozen tomatoes in my new Presto digital canner only to find out I did it wrong!!! So people listen up .. thoroughly read & re read your canners instructions as well as the recipe. Ugh....thanks for this video!!

[@heatherlawless5824]

Thank you for the Canuary collab showing me how to use all my frozen tomatoes! I feel I can process them properly. Leisa did a good job this year teaching about Forjars canning lids and using them as well. I appreciate the explanation about the sauces, juices etc. with my tomatoes. You make using the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning more easy to follow.

[@juliastinson9862]

I tried the one n the ball book n it turned out great. The family loved it. so fresh

[@pikecreekfarm]

Great to hear!

[@srt4gurl]

Great Video Renee! I canned up some Tomato Sauce in the fall for the first time! I love it!! Home canning is so much better than store bought on majority of the items! Glad you're in this years 2024 Canuary!!.. Keep the videos coming!!

[@barbaravollmert9508]

Great video!! You are a very good teacher!!! This is so helpful, the endless tomatoes can be overwhelming. So glad you are participating in this collaboration ,thankyou to Suttons Daze and For Jars!!!

[@cherylparsons6108]

Happy Canuary, thank you for your video. I did tomatoe sauce but left the skins and you're right, I did not like texture of it. But instead of throwing it out, I made a small batch of pizza sauce with it, added proper flavours, garlic, peppers and onion, the texture of the skins on pizza dough was so different, complimentary to the pizza. Very happy with, 💙

[@francinelarsen3303]

Congrats on your abundant harvest of tomatoes. Here in Alaska we had so few sunny days this summer, I couldn't get anything to ripen. First time I experience that-- truly scary. We need to all know that weather can devastate our crop plans. As of today, we're at over 115" of snow fall this winter., and having to shovel off our roofs to protect them. Crazy. Thanks for this video.

[@sunnysideup57]

Great idea! we still have some tomatoes in the freezer to use up. I thought I had gotten them all but we found more. Thank you for participating in the 2024 collaboration. 😀Thank you also to Leisa from SuttonDaze and forjars.

[@christinejohnston6482]

I don’t have a garden but I do participate ina CSA . I froze tomatoes for the first time last year. Just last week I took them and and made a spaghetti sauce I believe I must have gotten a quart and half. We had dinner that night and froze the rest. Thank you for explaining everything I learn something with every video I watched. Thank you for participating in Leisa’s Canuary Collaboration. Thank you Leisa and Forjars for a your hard work and dedication to the canning community.

[@mousemoonwalker]

First and foremost thank you for sharing. Second why have I never thought about using my roaster?🤦‍♀️ Third I'm freezing them puppies this year instead of giving away what is left before it freezes.

[@melissalabrie6997]

Thank you for your canning tomatoes Tips and tricks! Thank you Leisa @ Suttons Daze for Canuary ❤and 4 Jars for sponsoring this fabulous canning collaboration❤

[@bevcary9448]

I haven't canned tomato sauce before, but I love canning stewed tomatoes. Also didn't know you could can frozen tomatoes. Great idea. Thank you and I will consider doing this next summer. Loving Canuary.

[@ajalicea1091]

Thank you for doing this. It gives folks different ways to do tomatoes. I personally have never frozen my tomatoes. Just fresh or pressure canned. I have never steamed canned before, would have to research before going out to purchase one. Thank you ForJars for sponsoring Canurary. Thank you Sutton's Daze for hosting. I am learning alot of new ways to preserve foods.

[@patk2502]

Another great recipe! You can never have enough tomato sauce! Thank you for sharing! I love watching your channel. Your explaining all the safety requirements is so important. I just love your simplicity of life. Blessings

[@TweetyBirdFan2010]

Canning tomatoes was my first time doing Canning. I learned the hard way. I have come to learn so much from the YT ladies, such as you and Suttons Daze. When I do tomatoes, I love saving the peels for the dehydrator to make powder. Very good point about keeping jars straight up prior to placing in the canner. Do not tilt. Thx for sharing.

[@sandraking9650]

Tomatoes are my #1 favorite, so very healthy & versatile. You have such a beautiful voice, volume could be a bit higher. Thanks for the info & to Suttons Daze & all who participated. Also Forjars, i love their lids!

[@JessicaDavis-sw3yq]

I’m excited that freezing tomatoes is a viable option leading up to making tomato sauce! Thank you for sharing this procedure in Canuary 2024.

[@unleashnow226]

I LOVE canning the last half my tomatoes in the Winter, the only problem I have is finding enough room in my freezers for a large bounty of tomatoes. THAT is an awesome problem to have🥰 Roasters are just the best too. Thank you for sharing.

[@debleger6914]

Thanks for this very informative video - last fall, in desperation, I threw some tomatoes in freezer bags and into the freezer they went. Each time I went into the freezer and moved the bag, I'd feel guilty about them. After watching your video, I realized it was a *good* thing to do. I appreciate your calming way of explaining things - it takes away a lot of the intimidation of canning since this is just my 3rd year of canning. Thanks again!

[@LearningToHomestead]

I have a freezer full of tomatoes with the hopeful thought of canning 🤞🏼 in the spring when I get the gumption to actually CAN! Thank you for sharing your tips on canning tomatoes. I think it’s super resourceful to have canned tomato sauce on the shelf for any tomato based meal. Happy Canuary!

[@coverscornersurburbanhomes6235]

This week, I'll be processing the last of my tomatoes from last year's garden. Thanks for sharing. Happy Canning! ~ Stephanie

[@madmecyr]

I love watching canning too even though it's something I've already done :) I did my frozen tomatoes right after thanksgiving to get them out of the way...they were from the summer of '22! Still perfect shape. I noticed yesterday while rummaging in the freezer, that I missed a bag :(

[@jenbrewer8615]

Thanks so much H for the freezing tip, just learned that but haven’t tried yet so good to know about the cellular breakdown. Love canuary , always learn so much from the pros 😊

[@nicolegatten8717]

Love Canuary. Really have been thinking about freezing tomatoes when I'm overwhelmed while canning.

[@janiemorris1593]

I just discovered this past summer that you can freeze your tomatoes to have for processing later. It’s been a game changer when you are covered up with all of the veggies that can’t wait to be processed. Thank you for participating in Canuary and thank you to Surtons Daze and 4Jars for sponsoring this year’s Canuary.

[@robinroberts3496]

❤thank you Ladies! I am learning so much about preserving tomatoes correctly. I normally just blend them all up in a blender and freeze them. This is really going to help my food preservation. Thank you so much and I love your voice.

[@yellowbird30]

Again I’m so glad I discovered Canuary! This looks great and explain everything with such detail.. thanks!

[@KelleenChopp-Lemay]

Renee, thank you very much for your video. I actually did exactly this in November. I cleaned, cored and froze my tomatoes with the plan to make Tomato Sauce! Glad to hear I made the right product with my frozen Tomatoes. Thank you so much for the extra information.

[@dafadilly615]

I froze some tomatoes this past summer for the first time...hmmm... know what I'll be doing! Thanks for sharing again! Thank you to Leisa and Forjars!

[@edwardjordan3771]

I’ve never used my big roaster pan this way. This is a good idea. I don’t normally have lots of frozen tomatoes since I don’t have much freezer space but this would be a great way to use them. Thanks for the recipe and tips. Happy Canuary!

[@juliaconner5445]

Thank you for participating in Canuary. I like your step-by-step details. Even for an intermediate canner, it's good to review the basics.

[@kerrimullis3136]

Dang! Y’all knew what I had in my freezer-my goodness!!! I gotta clean them out -and tomatoes and meat are the main thing ….hahaha yes my tomatoes are frozen flying bombs. Thank you -I had processed all the veggies -except the tomatoes

[@roseopal]

Very good information on freezing tomatoes, thank you. I love canning tomatoes.! Well , actually I plain love canning ...period !!

[@ahappynanac5640]

I had no idea how smart it would have been to weigh mine before freezing. Thanks lol I'm looking forward to making marinara sauce soon. Looking forward to using ForJars products!

[@brendariddle2349]

Thank you so much for this video. I have never water bathed or steam canned. I am learning so much from Canuary. I did not start canning in a pressure canner until 2022 and I have gotten addicted!! Now I am ready for water bath & steam canning. I absolutely love these videos. They are better than any movie I’ve ever watched!!!

[@cindysebastiani998]

I used to can quarts upon quarts of tomatoes in the fall, to make other tomato products in the winter. My daughter, who is so smart taught me this trick of freezing tomatoes in the fall and make sauce etc in the winter. Today it’s just my husband and myself. Now I to tomato sauce, soup etc the easy way with canned tomato purée. I’ve gotten lazy with age and retirement. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I really like making my own pasta sauce. Always know what’s in it.

[@peggycumella1817]

Loved the video. Thank you very much, the recipe is wonderful. I also like removing the seeds. Beautiful juice.

[@charleneputnam1217]

Loving all the wonderful recipes and ideas in Canuary 2024. I learned how to can tomatoes very young with my mom who is now 88. Canned up tomatoes are so much tastier and can be used in so many recipes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and being a part of this collaboration.

[@karencasebeer7466]

You always have great tips. My problem is I never have enough room in the freezer to store everything! I have a small amount of frozen tomatoes. I might just experiment with that to see how I do. Thank you and I 💘Canuary!!!

[@paulawade742]

Have canned for over 50 years. Stumbled on the frozen tomato trick just a couple years ago. Was so much easier in many ways. Wish I had learned it years ago! Thank you

[@Livin_Simply]

Awesome tips and I’ve heard some like Citric Acid and Some Lemon juice too. It’s probably best to try both and see which you prefer. I see citric acid on a lot of store bought sauces, but probably best to try either way. thank you for sharing.

[@kam2162]

I love that the peels just slip off. I do not like having the added step of blanching...no matter what I'm doing. Thank you Pike Creek!

[@misskathyp3446]

Looking forward to harvesting tomatoes!!! Thank you for this recipe and for being a part of Canuary '24!!!

[@BlessedStacy]

I freeze my tomatoes all summer long. Because I dont have a humongous garden, i dont always have enough ripe tomatoes to can up. So I freeze them in ziploc bags until i have enough to make sauce or soup. Thanks for the tutorial. God bless you. And thank you to ForJars.

[@pamelaj25]

I love canning tomatoes because its easy and we go through a lot of canned tomatoes. Unfortunately, they are really expensive where I live. This year I think I will be taking a road trip to Pa. and pick up a couple of bushels of them. I never thought of freezing them before. Thank you for that great tip.

[@jeanetteharmel2415]

I always fill my freezer with tomatoes during harvest time and then can them on the cooler days of Fall and Winter. Freezing then thawing makes it so easy to remove the skins. No more tedious blanching. Thank you for sharing your safe canning knowledge and thank you Leisa and ForJars for sponsoring Canuary.

[@dlewis502]

Every year i say im going to freeze my surplus tomatoes. NEVER enough freezer room, so i just keep trucking. Whew! Maybe this year😊

[@roxanna4581]

We have a great garden every year but I never thought of freezing and then canning at a later time. Love the tips of the skins coming right off as the thaw too. I love how every participant that is teaching us in Canuary teach us all something different along with tips and tricks of the trade as you all go. Canning our own tomato sauce is an amazing idea. With all the GMO's and Bio-engineered ingredient's to our food today. I will be canning for my family soon as can get all my products together and get started. Thank you for all your information, thank you also to Sutton Daze and For jars for all you do.

[@hoosierhen]

While I should probably be busy addressing my stuffed freezers, I'm enjoying Canuary videos instead. Love your additions to the series.

[@lorrainedemars3368]

That is the way I do my tomatoes. But I put my tomatoes though my kitchen aid strainer. I finish by boiling down till I get a thicker juice. It makes the best juice for soups and chili. But I didn't know about the reason not to can tomatoes that was hit by frost. I just don't But didn't know why. My grandma didn't so I never did. Good to know. Thank you for all the information.

[@jillferry8363]

Awesome video!! I actually froze tomatoes last summer/fall that I couldn't get canned when ripe so I canned them in November to free up space for venison! It is such a good idea! I appreciate all of your tips and expertise!! Thanks again!!

[@cathyspencer3058]

My mom would freeze her extra tomatoes and use them in meals later in the year. Nice to know that if I want to can them I am limited due to the change from freezing. Thanks for the information and explanations. I still have lots to learn, so thanks for participating in this collaboration and thanks also to Leisa and ForJars for sponsoring Canuary 2024.

[@carolynsinyard5215]

I also love Canuary and all of the new recipes that are shared during the month of January. Your tomato sauce looks so good and I can hardly wait to water bath can my tomatoes that are in the freezer. Thank you for being a part of Canuary. Thank you Suttons Daze and Forjars for sponsoring this wonderful collaboration. Have a blessed day.

[@margouhl3968]

I just happened on Canuary and am so excited to watch all the videos. I’m trying to catch on everything I missed. Thank you all for this information.

[@kimberly6599]

My tomatoes didn't do very well this year. We have a famers market near us. It's a good way to support our local famers, when our own gardens doesn't do well. It's a great way to get the veggies we need, to can. Thank you for sharing this great information, it was very helpful! Blessings!

[@vonzie4613]

Great video! Thanks for explaining why we can't can frozen on the vine tomatoes and what products can best with frozen tomatoes. Great information. Very informative.

[@LindaAhbel]

Great tomato demo. We have been building during last two summers so all my tomatoes have been frozen when I processed them, so very helpful and instructional. Thank you.

[@adammurray-Kelly]

This was the last thing I actually canned. I also froze my tomatoes. I have the juicer attachment on my Kitchen aide. Letting the tomatoes defrost, quartering them and cooking them in a large put, smashing them with a potato smasher then running it through the juicer worked PERFECT!! Definitely having the tomatoes nice and hot makes the process so much easier to go through some sort of strainer! I struggled running cold tomatoes through a strainer. Great demo!

[@cynthiahenry2797]

Raining here today. Wonderful day I’m canning dry beans. Love watching canning recipes thank you

[@daisyeyes71]

I was wondering about the whole science behind freezing tomatoes. My cousin and I usually do about 120lbs every summer. She only uses them for juice and this would make her life easier during the summer when we are canning other items for both of our pantries.

[@Julie-wp1in]

Canuary is also my favourite! I learn so much from it, with all the wonderful recipes and tips. I really appreciated you showing us a good basic recipe and how to make sauce from frozen tomatoes. It’s a great way to go for when tomatoes are coming in too fast in the fall! Thank you for being part of Canuary Renee💕

[@catherinenonhoff9335]

I so much appreciate this video. I had a freezer full of tomatoes to use and did something with them BEFORE I saw this video. Your video showed me how I should have used them instead of how I did use them. Always learning new canning tips!

[@anniebourne7143]

Massey your bookworms is wonderful. The sloth is cute. Your table can be 2nd layer to fort. Many blessing, you have a beautiful family

[@brandiblevins6609]

Roating pans are a major time saver. I also do my lemon juice 1st. Once after a 12 hr shift at work I lost track and ended up pouring everything back in the pot and starting all over just in case. I have since went through all those jars and they wer all still delicious and safe. We have a bunch of vintage jars also. My husbands cousin is an auctioneer, so he shares his finds. Thank you for this video.

[@silverchickadee4130]

Great video! A few years back I had to process over 200 bs of tomatoes that we had shoved into various freezers, only to find during my freezer organization and inventory we did not get them all!😂 I really have to get one of those electric roasters for things like this. I have hesitated until now because it commands precious storage space, but for big batch processing it really seems worth the space trade off.

[@karlybur3830]

Always learn something new during Canuary. Going to try freezing tomatoes this year. Been enjoying all the videos and new recipes. Thank you!

[@laurenvanaman1105]

Interesting information about how freezing breaks down the structure. I’m going to do some this summer before freezer and check the difference in my sauce. I’m always chasing the best sauce and I’m not there yet. Appreciate all the info I learn in Canuary.

[@darlenecotter8476]

thanks to Leisa I dont stress about getting all my tomatoes done at harvest time I freeze them too and use them for bbq sauces...sloppy joe mix...chili sauce etc. Love your video thank you for taking the time to discuss all the possibilities with our frozen summer harvest😊
