CANNING WHOLE PEELED ROMA TOMATOES | Only 2 Ingredients! 🥫

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Helloooo friends!!!! If I wait too long in the day to can whole fresh tomatoes, it won't get done. So as long as I go on autopilot and do it first thing in the morning, it's not that bad and I don't even realize it's about a 90 minute processing time. 🤪 Thank YOU so much for watching, liking, sharing your comments, and subscribing! 💛💚

[@nadinedonovan989]

Thank you for this video- I wasn’t sure how to do this. I will be doing my tomatoes tomorrow morning😁

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Awww yay!!! 🥳 Thanks Nadine! I was up until 11pm last night canning canning tomato sauce. You can do it! 😁🍅🥫

[@kaymack5304]

Love the canning videos. I’m pretty messy when I cook too. I’m always feeling under self imposed time presser so that makes things fly.😂

[@TheBourneHomestead]

That's really nice to hear, thank you so much Kay! Haha yeah I tend to blame the veggies, or whatever I'm cooking. Everything rebels and starts fleeing! 🤪😆

[@ProvidingResources]

Nice job! Excellent video they look beautiful and delicious! Well done!

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Thank you so much!!! ❤️

Hi Krystal, Great video thank you, I did chopped tomatoes for my last canning I don't have that many tomatoes left now so we will use them for salads and sandwiches, again thanks for the video, Take care.

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Hi Ron!!! Fresh homegrown tomatoes are just the best. 🤗 I use chopped tomatoes a lot when I cook so I should probably can those also while we are still getting fresh tomatoes in. Thank you so much!!! 😊

[@CyndiAckermann]

Wow, Thank you! This is super informative, super precise, short and compelling to watch.

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Thank you so much Cyndi! I'm working on making more canning videos in this format. We really appreciate the kind feedback! 😊

Why do you remove the ring during storage?

[@TheBourneHomestead]

If the seal isn't good, the rings can falsely hold the lids in place. By removing the rings it makes it easier to see if the seal is no good in the pantry. If the lids do become unsealed, not having the rings there also can prevent the possibility of the lids somehow resealing themselves.

Can I put Lemon juice on top of the Tomatoes in the jar, instead of first in the jar?

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Everything that I have read that talks about it, says to add the lemon juice first before adding the tomatoes on top.

[@seasofcheese7438]

Thank you for this video.

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Thank you! 😊

[@brendajollymore4229]

You are boiling them way too long. 45 minutes is more than enough

[@TheBourneHomestead]

No I'm not. This is a standard processing time for waterbath canning. If you are using a pressure canner, the time is less.

[@mandamoosgardeningadventur8305]

Yes, you definitely are a messy pup..😂🤣😂🤣 By the way, they do look nice...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheBourneHomestead]

😂I know. I blame the vegetables. Either the onions are flying, or tomatoes jumping ship. I feel like most of my time in the kitchen is cleaning up after them. 🤪😆Thank you Manda!!!!

[@mandamoosgardeningadventur8305]

The Bourne Homestead what is next I wonder...???

[@TheBourneHomestead]

@@mandamoosgardeningadventur8305 Not sure, the jalapenos have been acting like they're planning something. 🥴

Can i use fresh lemon juice?

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Fresh lemon juice can vary in acidity levels, so to be safe it is recommended to use bottled lemon juice. You can use citric acid in place of lemon juice, but the amounts are different. Depending on jar size just make sure to use the correct amounts for either lemon juice or citric acid, it would be listed in the canning recipes how much to use. 😊

[@rasserfrasser]

Thank you for doing this by the book. I'm almost cross-eyed from a number of people saying how this should be done.

[@TheBourneHomestead]

I love my canning books. They're an excellent reference! ❤️

[@stanleykania7184]

Saved. Doing it when my tomatoes are ready.

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Awesome!! It's one of my favorite ways to preserve tomatoes because they can be used in so many different ways. 😊

[@cherylklemmetsen9650]

Hi Krystal, Can I also add basil and or garlic with the Roma’s ??

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Hi Cheryl!! So this specific recipe doesn't have any of the extra things added, but there are other recipes that are similar with seasoning, or basil and garlic. Like there's the Basil-Garlic Tomato Sauce on page 33 that I want to try out this year. Just make sure that you're adding enough citric acid, or lemon juice to each jar. 😊

[@carriekinard8868]

How much lemon juice for quart jars?

[@TheBourneHomestead]

I looked up a few of the canned tomato recipes in the Ball book, and they say it's 2 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice per 1-quart size jar.

[@MrsRGAllen]

Is water bath canning whole or halved tomatoes better than pressure canning?

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Due to the acidity levels in tomatoes, combined with added lemon juice, pressure canning them isn’t necessary. 😊

[@MrsRGAllen]

@The Bourne Homestead Is the flavor, texture, and/or nutritive value affected?

[@Mik-mk8us]

Can I mix in chopped Onions

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Sure, just make sure the acidity is right. 😊

[@clorissagioscia6033]

Do you have to peel the tomato’s

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Yes, because there is bacteria in/on the skin that is difficult to remove by just washing them. 😊

[@psisky]

How mch citric acid do you put in each jar?

[@KameraShy]

1/4 tsp. for pints, 1/2 tsp. for quarts

[@chris.eskimo]

Are seeds an issue? I hear they make sauce bitter.

[@TheBourneHomestead]

Seeds aren't an issue for us. Depending on how much time I have, I use the food mill and it removes seeds, but it doesn't make a difference flavorwise. When I roast cherry tomatoes to make feta pasta, or cook down larger tomatoes for fresh sauce, the seeds don't impact the flavor. 😊
