[@KameraShy]

Very nice, clear explanation of the traditional canning method.

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Thanks for watching!

[@emilythechef]

Thank you! I'm going to can tomatoes for the first time and this was very helpful. I spied 3 Pampered Chef silicone trivets, I've been a consultant for 20+ years, fun to see the old products.

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Yes you are right! They are from pampered chef and I love them! So glad I could help and thanks for watching!

[@emilythechef]

My tomatoes came out great. San Marzano from my garden. 😍 Thanks for giving me the confidence to do this.

[@LivingOffTheLand]

@@emilythechef San Marzano tomatoes are great! So happy to hear that everything went well!! 🙂

[@brokenspoke1595]

One of the better videos I have watched. Trying to learn. Very helpful. 😊

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Thank you for those kind words! You never stop learning but it is a fun process!

I hot packed my tomatoes so I wouldn't get the water at the bottom of the jar. My jars still came out with the water at the bottom. Was I correct in thinking I wouldn't get the water at the bottom with the hot packing?

[@LivingOffTheLand]

You are right that is what is suppose to happen with hot pack. Less liquid. However like you I still get lot of liquid so I don’t bother hot packing.

[@jnooney8225]

They will always have clear liquid on the bottom. You did nothing wrong.

Love the video. Do you ever add herbs or spices?

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Hi. Yes I have done certain variations like italian spices and mexican spices

[@renatacasiel6970]

Great video, thanks. How long and where to store the sealed packed jars?

[@LivingOffTheLand]

renata casiel Thanks! You can store your jars for up to a year. The ideal place is in a cool, dark, dry spot with temperature between 50-70 F

[@luanaboyan4596]

Why do I have to wait 24 hours to move the jars to storage?

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Hi! Great question. You let your jars sit to ensure a proper seal. After 24 hours you check to make sure your jars are sealed. Then you remove the rings. If you move your jars to quick it could affect the seal.

Please what about skipping lemon juice

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Hi. Its not recommended to skip lemon juice. Its about the safety. It ensures the acidity is safe. 😊

[@gainwisdomtv9535]

@@LivingOffTheLand Thanks very much

[@KameraShy]

NO!! You MUST add acid. Lemon juice (bottled only) or citric acid which is sold in powdered form (Walmart).

[@gainwisdomtv9535]

Can you add peppers and garlic to this process?

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Hi. there are no safe recipes that I can find that have that combination. When you add garlic and peppers, you are adding low acids vegetables to your tomatoes so I would have to say you can`t add those to your tomatoes. I did fid a couple recipes that may be of interest. This first one does have to be pressure canned to be safe Stewed tomatoes pressure canned www.bernardin.ca/recipes/en/italian-stewed-tomatoes.htm This one looks also good and has some spices, garlic www.bernardin.ca/recipes/en/italian-style-tomato-sauce.htm I hope this helps

[@christinesanchez57]

Thank you for sharing this video. I canned my tomatoes with your method and noticed the water turned a bit red. Is this okay?

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Christine Sanchez Hi. What happened there is probably a little siphoning. It happens that a little liquid leaks from your jars during processing. It may even seem that the liquid in your jar has gone down a little. As long as your jars seal, your tomatoes will be fine. I am canning green beans and my liquid will most likely be a little green😉.

[@mistymountainfolk2437]

When prepping jars, are they submerged?

[@LivingOffTheLand]

Hi. No they do not need to be submerged to warm them up. Only when processing. You can even use hot jars from the dishwasher!

[@jnooney8225]

What about the SKINS???

[@LivingOffTheLand]

You have to watch this video to find out 😊. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3ewf6KKr9mgn5o
