HAHAHA OMG that is so funny and SOOOOOO true!

[@barbara9190]

Thank you Luke, I added citric acid to my tomatoes last year because the book said to and IMO it ruined them. I love cream of tomato soup and because of the acid my milk curdles. I ended up buying imported tomatoes where the only ingredient is tomatoes.

[@rickparshall]

The more natural and old school the better!!! USA is so sue happy that FDA removes(try's sorta) any possibility of problems and in the meantime it strips flavor and nutritional value.. (another rabbit hole for another day about what lack of nutrition does to us😁)

Nonna's tomatoes! My nonna did this exactly like this.....my nonno would fill bushels full of these and all we would do is sit in the kitchen doing this can after can after can....brings back great memories of my childhood...5 different families would have tomatoes for a year...thanks for bringing me back

[@jyi5506]

Liam F While neighborhood kids were playing, we’d be helping our mom and momaw can tomatoes And peaches And beans And peas And homemade vegetable soup And I’m sure I’m forgetting something-Lol! My mouth would get sore every year from sneaking tomatoes and peaches. Wonderful memories! Gonna try to do some of this with my own daughter and grandkids-if I can get them to help. To understand the importance of “putting up” homegrown foods. Thanks for memory road trip!

[@ezwayocho8296]

@@jyi5506 You forgot about the jams! Plum jam 😋👍

[@jyi5506]

Ezway Ocho Yes! Lol Muscadine Jam is my favorite. And there was Scupadine jam Grape jam Blackberry jam Apple jam Then jellies from the peels. Strawberry preserves Pear preserves Apple butter Apple sauce... And all the veggies and fruits we “put up” in the freezer. It was all sooo good! And mustn’t forget the pickles! Funny, we have every modern convenience anymore But no one has time. Yet when everything we had to do was finally done, We still had time.

[@salnenz]

I canned mine the same way. One suggestion is to save the skins, dry them and blend them and use for tomatoes seasoning. They are so good! Also save the juice which is good used for soups,etc or just drink as is. Nothing wasted!

[@stephaniejoyce6896]

So glad to hear someone say this! I was crying, "Nnoooooo!" when he dumped the juice down the drain. haha. Great idea on the skins too. I will have to try that this year.

[@kimedo61]

I was thinking the same about the juice down the drain :)

[@tussled1]

I always can my tomato juice. Makes for great bloody Mary’s.

[@shalonamaranth]

I was gonna say! Wasting all that juice hurt to see. Not zero waste by any measure, but wasting perfectly good food? Even if you don't wanna use it to eat, you could cool it and let your compost buddies have a field day

[@BuyMyBathwater]

If you add soup stock ingredients to the juice, it cans up well also and can be used for minestrone.

[@elisabettaepiney9896]

I grew up in a Sicilian neighborhood in NYC... I learned to do this from my friends grandma... she’s alive and well into her 100’s... side note I saw her fall down a flight of stairs ... she got up cursed in Italian and kept it moving 😂

[@jveenhuizen]

Love this! Just wanted to add that last year we saved the skins instead of tossing in the compost. We blended in a high speed blender, then cooked on low temp on the stove top for a few hours, stirring a bit, and then once it was cool, we packed them in ice cube trays to make the MOST DELICIOUS homemade tomato paste. Don’t waste those skins! You’d be surprised at how tasty (and nutritious) they are! ❤️

[@danaferguson462]

My Italian Grandma always canned and baked without recipe's and she lived into her 90's. She lived in our family home. And if my Dad brought her a case of fruit or vegetables magically she'd have it prepared and canned in no time. She was a treasure.

[@enricolambrusco2449]

i'm italian and this is exactly the way my family has canned tomatoes. we added a small clove of garlic too.

[@mycozygardencottage]

Luke!!! You're wonderful! I was taught to can tomato sauce by a wonderful Italian Grandma and she never used lemon juice, vinegar or citric acid. She has been doing this every year for probably 80 years. She didn't even water bath can them. She just packed boiling sauce into hot jars. I did the same thing and never had any problems. I can't stand the idea of putting lemon juice in my tomatoes!!! Thank you so much for the great videos!!!

[@gloriahelmer6300]

My Gran used to can her tomatoes just like that. Sometimes she'd put basil leaves, sometimes a sprig of oregano. Today, they tell us the old methods aren't safe but I don't recall anyone ever getting sick from Gran's canned goods. Like her, I can my produce every year and find the old recipes to be the best, most flavorful way to put up all that summer goodness. Thank you for showing a whole new generation how it's done!

[@gloriahelmer6300]

P.S. I'd love to see you post a pizza video too!

[@gary454545able]

[@tinygypsy3707]

Last couple years I keep telling myself I’m gonna start canning/jarring stuff and I never get around to getting the stuff I need to do it. You really motivated me to get on it! I’m excited about it again lol. Thanks, you inspire me, Luke :D

[@sowmanyseedlings]

Start with easy cold pack stuff like this! So much less time consuming than jam or salsa. Pickled hot or not peppers are really easy too and have a shorter processing time in a waterbath canner only about ten-fifteen minutes depending upon jar size and altitude :) its cheaper to start small as well though if you end up loving it youll eventually amass many pots its graduating sizes. Like me. Lol. Do it! Get canning!! :D

[@ariellenathanson1640]

You can totally freeze stuff for canning later. You'll have to defrost it of course but its a good way to keep things around until the weekend when you have time.

[@kileyholmes3980]

the thing that makes Italian food so wonderful in Italy is the fact that it's so incredibly simple, there is nothing extra additions which means that you get to taste every single thing in the food... you can taste how fresh every item in the food is. This is why Italian food is always so good

[@silvanapagnotta5787]

I've been taught by my Italian grandmother, mom and aunts. I've been canning tomatoes since I was a teenager. We make pureed sauce or whole tomatoes. The only thing I would suggest is that the tomatoes are more ripe than what is on this video. I also squeeze the juice out gently on each individual tomato before putting in the jar. I always add basil and about 1/4 green pepper. It's the way my grandmother taught everyone

[@hornsfirst]

I love how much love you show for Italian grandmas. ❤️❤️

[@Mojo_3.14]

One tip from my grandma, make a X on the tip of the tomato before you boil them, when the skin starts to curl in the boiling water then use your slotted spoon to transfers them into a bowl of ice water. The tomatoes peel off much easier than yours did. And you have a handy four tabs to peel the skin off in four easy steps. Dehydrate the skins in the oven at 200F and crush them, that stuff is gold.

[@robertotoy5586]

hey Mojo, what do you actually do with the dehydrated skins? Sounds pretty interesting.

[@Mojo_3.14]

@@robertotoy5586 It makes a great home made seasoning that adds tomato flavor to what ever you want. Crush it up and sprinkle it on like you would paprika. Paprika is just dehydrated peppers. It's surprising how many spices can be home made.

I've spent many Labour Day weekends making tomato sauce with my Italian parents. I still carry on the tradition with my kids today. While we don't make 15 bushels of tomatoes like in the olden days - just a one or two. You can really taste the difference from the store bought stuff, especially with the tomatoes from my garden. Cheers from Ontario, Canada.

[@jensenhomestead3269]

Don't know if anyone mentioned it. But you can dehydrate the skins as a flavor and thickener for your foods.

[@MiddleEastMilli]

Yes! I was thinking about that! And did you know part of the nacho chip flavor comes from tomato powder? Yum! :)

[@VT-ix5oh]

Hey Luke, i can as well , and i dont remove the ring. The can lid has a dimple in the center. The jars heat up, cook the ingredients, some expanded air leaks out and then when it cools the remaining air contracts, pulling the lid down, and the dimple as well. Thats how you know if your seal is compromised. Bad seal = dimple is up and you hear that clicking noise when you press it.

[@be6715]

Yes, I keep my rings on as well. Have a bad jar, and without a ring, you also have a h@** of a mess to clean up!

[@gwen27405]

Thanks for sharing, I’m in lower Michigan / Jackson area, and you’ve been a big help in the garden. This year is our first real garden. Stay safe, thanks again!

[@MagdaRantanplan]

You never argue with grandma. Or great-grandma. She would stand behind the door sleeping, with a rolling pin raised above her head, waiting for great-grandpa and grandpa to get home from a night of drinking. And she canned the most amazing things.

[@kathylord7939]

I have been doing canning for about 45 years. I used to water bath can my tomatoes all the time but I am careful now because of the acidity of the various tomatoes that are on the market now and grown in the garden. That's the reason that they recommend the extra precautions now. Also make sure that you run a thin knife or one of those canning knives to bring any bubbles to the top that might exist even though you packed it hard. Your tomatoes look great and basil and tomato is a great combination.

[@montanaliving4769]

Still water bath mine after 40 years but I watch my tomatoes type and ad some citric acid of some sort. Doing salsa today! Have to keep everyone out of it or I wont have a quart per week as planned. Our amish tomatoes are great this year!

[@Zarthalad]

You are right because in since 1986 they genetic alter tomatoes to have lower acidity in order to make them last longer for shipping. They really don't taste the same.

[@montanaliving4769]

@@Zarthalad they taste horrible, even my favorite cherry tomatoes. With some heirloom seeds in the garden tho I can at least have nice fresh ones for a season. I love acidic ones.

Caution on pre-boiling the canner water. Rule of thumb should be hot jars, hot canner. Dropping glass jars directly in boiling water could result in broken jars.

Edward Erfurt that’s what I thought! It happened to me my first time.

[@corinthiap6044]

Yeah my mom always taught me to drop them and then bring the water to a boil.

Usually if your going to shock glass it’s going the opposite direction. From hot to cold, and generally much hotter than you can make it in boiling water.

[@mamakaka73]

[@julianaklevemann4987]

Be very careful if your not using new jars . They need to be sterilized also check over for nicks or cracks other wise the can break when your boiling them and that's a mess

[@Serenity-sg4jf]

Nicely done, I really enjoyed this video. I've been studying up on this stuff because I want to try my hand at canning tomatoes. My grandfather is from Calabria Italy, and he use to can all of his own tomato sauce recipes, but I was too young to even learn how to from him when he had passed away, and my mom, although shes Italian, she was never interested in carrying on any Italian canning tomato sauce traditions. What is the shelf life on those jarred tomatoes, and how should they be stored?

Thanks so much for doing this, Luke, I can't wait to try it. BTW, I just saw another KZbinr mention that you could dehydrate and make powder out of the skins, for tomato paste, sauce, etc.

[@angelalowe5987]

Grandmas are awesome! I love that you showed how italian grandmas make their can tomatoes. I love basil. ❤

[@marcmaubertcrotte]

It's easier to peel if you just slightly score an X on the skin of the tomato, and after quickly boiling it, you rinse it with cold water. The skin just comes right off.

[@WinkTartanBelle]

OR you cn lightly score the X on the bottom of each tomato, then freeze them overnight is a zip bag. As soon as you can handle them after removing them from the freezer, the skins will peel right off. No need to boil water for skinning them.

[@marcmaubertcrotte]

@@WinkTartanBelle I heard freezing tomatoes makes them mushy, doesn't it?

i got an old ball canning book from my grandma and it had this method for tomatoes, i wasn't aware this is not an approved method any more. I have eaten five year old tomatoes canned this way and never gotten sick or seen any mold. also i used heavy kitchen rubber gloves to protect my hands a little from the heat and it also protects from bacteria that may be on my hands even though i washed them thoroughly. thanks for sharing Luke, I love your channel!

[@threehorsez]

The grannies also push a wooden spoon end in to get those bubbles out of the bottom by the way. Lovely!

[@amps8687]

This is how I have always done this. My one Gma canned her tomatoes this way and so did several of my friends moms! The taste was better than the ones we did and there wasn't that acidic lemony flavor. I'm 73 now and I was never sick or was anyone else (unless they just didn't tell me!) None of my friends lost family members either. I heard about how dangerous it was from my Mom and her mom too..and yet, here we are. Most of the Mennonites and several other cultures do it this way as well. Nicely done!

[@MaruskaStarshaya]

​@@MePatra garlic powder is a bad option for canning - you never know a quality of those garlic and what could be mixed in (cornstarch to prevent clumpiness, MSG to enhance taste and so on) and your canning brain will became blurry and lead to explosion (yeah, canned jars could explode if there are bacteria or gases created)

👏👏 Thanks for sharing! It's cool to see how things are done in different cultures.

[@juliusq75]

Small note- the lemon juice or citric acid does help discourage bacterial growth, it won’t hurt. For everyone saying my grandma never- remember, a home kitchen isn’t the same as mass produced canned goods where avoiding all types of nasty bacteria is critical. Also, your grandma and great grandma was likely to have had a larger family and relied on those home canned goods to feed them, and likely went through all of them in six months, particularly in Italy where the growing season is much longer so they aren’t waiting an entire year to get another batch canned. Not saying this is not safe, but food contamination is real. Boil your jars or put them in your InstaPot (the IP brand actually sterilizes almost as well as the medical ones) for a half hour first, wipe the sides if you get drips, keep your area clean, etc etc- follow good canning protocol and don’t be casual about it.

[@richardzeman948]

Great advice and agree totally with the lemon juice added
