[@kittenbrave1003]

Me too just found it a week ago and I love it❤

[@parentingdecolonized]

Just a note on the green tomatoes..tomatoes in the supermarkets taste like disappointment because they don't allow them to blush before picking. If you want to ripen off the vine, make sure they blush a little before picking to release the chemical that makes them taste good. Otherwise, they may taste superior to the store but still not as flavorful as they could be.

[@GrainneMhaol]

Can I ask what blushing tomatoes means?

[@ellenradford8582]

I will buy Roma tomatoes and let the ripen more on the counter so they taste much better.

[@sunset462]

​@@GrainneMhaolyou can also put them in a paper bag to ripen. You can also do that with many other things like avocados.😊

Bruchetta is the grilled bread topped with garlic oil and salt. What you are making is just a tomato topping to go on the bread

We have cold packed tomatoes for years. I found they are fresher and hold their texture so much better being cold packed. Of course they are blanched to help the peeling process.

Hey Becky! We love watching you! As we are not from the U.S I thought for your next video it will be worth while to explain the difference between the crock pot, instant pot etc because we don't use them here and I had to google it to understand the differences. Just a suggestion for your global viewers 😊

[@nixi-bixi]

Crockpot is an American brand name for a slow cooker and instant pot is a brand name for an electric pressure cooker. However slow cookers and pressure cookers have been around for absolutely decades and decades in countries worldwide. Yes they were put on the backburner after the invention of the microwave in everyone's homes but whats old became new again when the electric pressure cooker became a thing (&much safer than the manual old style). Americans just love their brand names for everything, like kleenex for tissues!

[@emilythompson9788]

I recommend cold packing for diced tomatoes. I find that they hold their structure better that way. They do shrink considerably during the canning process, so fill them all the way to the brim when filling the jars. That way, you won’t have an excess of headspace after they’re processed.

[@kittychronister3537]

Becky you can use canning rings on the bottom of your stock pot to get the jars off the bottom of the pot. I’ve canned diced tomatoes both using hot and cold packing. They have a different taste. The hot pack has a more cooked flavor, so you’re right that you need to do both to fine your personal tastes. I liked the cooked for heavier sauces and soups and the cold pack for a lighter tasting sauces.

[@TodaysBibleTruth]

Perfect answer. Now I want to do both.🙂

Hi, I really don't know where you peaked this recipe from, but bruschetta is not a soucs, It's roasted bread (pane bruscato) with something spread on top: tomatoes, peppers, pesto, actually whatever you want. If you choose tomatoes, the nice thing is to eat fresh raw cubed tomatos. What you cannen is a sort of souce, it's not a bruschetta. I don't want to bother you, but I know you like to learn new things, that's why I left this comment. Bye 😀

[@KitchenFairy61]

You don't need a special steam canner. Add a rack to your 30 quart stock pot, then add 2 to 3 3 inches of water. Bring it to a boil, then add your jars and cover with the lid. Start timing once you see steam coming out of the lid, start your timing for your elevation. It's usually the same amount of time as it is for water bath canning.

Becky that bruschetta in a jar recipe calls for half pints. Those looked like pint jars. It’s not safe to deviate like that and put it in a larger jar. The recipe was only tested for 20 minutes in half pints.

I think you put your water bath canners under the counter in your walk-in pantry. Pull out the cupboards underneath the counter and see.❤ PS... you don't need to buy a separate steam canner. Any large pot will boil water and create steam. Just get a few racks too raise the jars up a bit and use the pot you're using. See RoseRed Homestead for the info.😊

So you were standing stirring that plum sauce with that jar of basil in your other hand and I'm like, oh, no Becky, don't do it! don't do it!

My grandma used to take the tops off tomatoes after dinner in a large bowl on her lap in the den. That way she could be with family and get that done at the same time!

[@michalmarcus9562]

Another idea for using abundance of tomatoes: By the same principal of roasted salsa: In an oven safe dish place tomatoes cut to half or quarter, along with cut onions and 2 heads of garlic (tops off). You could also add some cut bell peppers or some carrots…Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven and then place in the Vitamix. Blend until smooth and slowly add Coconut milk or broth until reaching the desired soup consistency. You can add some Basil leaves or a spoon of Pesto… And if you really want to go over the top, add a can of chickpeas (but don’t blend them in the Vitamix, just leave them whole). Best tomato soup EVER! I don’t know about canning it, but it’s a great recipe. I hope you like it.

[@CarrieNita]

My mouth started watering from seeing that plum sauce. MooShu pork is my favorite dish of all time!

[@kathleendyer672]

Becky, I’m concerned that your jars were too big to get the raw tomatoes heated through in your bruschetta. The recipe calls for 8 ounce jars.

[@Andrea-si2vs]

I just made this yesterday, so I noticed that right away. Plus, I don't think she preheated her jars and she mentioned the brine was cooled by the time she packed 😬

[@robhay57]

Hey Becky, I have an idea for that pulp that was left over from making the plum hot sauce. How about making flavor cubes and freezing them. There are little silicone molds in the canning sections (Walmart used to carry them for herbs) but the silicone candy molds in the Walmart candy making section would also do in a pinch. (The area that has the candy melts, candy tools, fondant, Wilton cake pans, etc.) Those flavor cubes could be useful in a lot of recipes!

[@francesgiblin463]

Also Bruscetta is best when the bread is grilled with olive oil and rubbed with garlic post grilling. The canned Bruscetta Sauce is great on chicken thighs or breaststroke cooked in an instant pit and a half a block or cream cheese😊.

I’ve been preserving most of my Roma tomatoes this year as diced tomatoes and I used the method from the ball book where you just put the diced tomatoes in a jar on their own and they naturally release their own juice during the canning process. You do have to process them for 85 minutes then, but I recently tried a can and they came out really well! I didn’t peel the tomatoes either and the texture didn’t bother anyone in my family.

Love how your garden is flourishing

[@terrigroh9455]

I've canned diced tomatoes both ways and prefer the hot pack method because you can fit more in. If you are going to water bath they really do hold up well in the jars.

[@AcreHomestead]

Thanks for the info! Very helpful

[@daveandellenbartlett8725]

I prefer cold pack tomatoes and then pressure can - the National Center for Home Food Preservation gives instructions.

[@daveandellenbartlett8725]

And we loved the bruschetta recipe! First time here as well.

[@tracyslayton8095]

Cold pack for sure. You can just cut the tomato and put it directly in the jar.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Loving the cooking preservation videos in particular! Thank you!

Aw thanks for watching!

Hi Becky, hi friends ❤

[@AcreHomestead]

Thanks so much for being so supportive!

My sister slices her cherry tomatoes in half then freezes them. She drops a handful or so into a chicken and rice dish she makes. They don't even need blanching for texture! It's a great time saver for processing and cooking. She also does diced onions.

I love being in the garden with you 😊 thank you for sharing all the wonderful garden life

Good evening Becky, your garden is absolutely STINNING! I made the courgette pancakes last night they are delicious thankyou!! ❤Clare xx

[@AcreHomestead]

That is so sweet to say!

Becky save the tomatillo husk in the freezer if you make tamales you boil these with salt and add to your masa and it makes it really fluffy. This was what my abuelita always did and the one year she didn't the cooked masa had a different texture more dense. Add it to your pork or beef water. It is amazing!!

[@kimiyemlsmallgardendream8115]

I use my food sealer for future meals. So instead of weekly you can go monthly or every 6 months just label as YOU know seal in a casserole dish then take out of the freezer and then seal in a sealer bag. Less space in a Freezer and longer lasting. Yes 1 more step but longer lasting.

i don't mean to ignorant or maybe i am but this confused me can you explain it slower...not kidding

[@sarahludos7970]

Becky, I love, love your garden!!! Those tomatoes especially make me happy to see as there is nothing better than from the garden. Your little boy is going to love the garden, chickens, etc when he gets a bit older. I think he is going on 9 months now.

[@barbaraslayden2277]

@annin-durhamuk2015 I know it's the topping. It's called tomato bruschetta in a jar. Love it and made it fresh several times. Thx

[@rlmedina43]

I appreciate that you share your love and care for your chickens.

[@MaryChris21]

Dearest Becky, "brusketta" Is the pronunciation. You are amazing and I love watchiing you ❤. Hugs from Italy

[@joniwasson2866]

Hi Becky, my grammy and my mom always cold packed our tomatoes. We would just blanch them to remove the peel. But my great grandmother said that canning tomatoescold packed was better for not only texture but flavor. I have done both,and i like the quality and product better cold packing them. Hope that helps. The only time we would do a hot packing is when we would make marinara sauce or chili sauces.

[@littleviatrix]

I'm a bit confused by the concept of canning the tomatoes for bruschetta (pronounced brusketta btw!!) , because here in Italy "bruschetta al pomodoro" is made with raw ingredients... Just tomatoes which are diced small, basil leaves, salt and extra virgin olive oil... Still, it's kind of interesting to see this take on it, and it's always a pleasure catching up with you Becky!

[@LadyMadge]

It’s the freshness of the bruschetta topping that is so delicious. Would be interesting how the canning process impinges on that.

West of FW and I agree. I've frozen my tomatoes, too. I'll process when it's not so darn hot!

[@sarahhajarbalqis]

The garden is looking marvellous! Thank you for sharing Becky 👍 ❤

[@karenharris5141]

It’s pronounced broosketta. Here in the uk we pronounce it wrong so often, Italian waiters don’t correct us….lol

[@AcreHomestead]

Wow thanks so much! I will keep that in mind next time!

[@KatieJane31]

Wow I never knew. Thanks

[@kukaburraFM]

Came here to say this! There is hard “k” sound in the Italian pronunciation

[@anitacolotto9282]

The plural of zucchini is zucchini ✨

[@rootedandgroundedlife2137]

My husband is Italian and doesn't pronounce it w a k. Perhaps it is a bit of a tomato/ to-ma-to dialect difference
