Making and Canning Rotel Style Tomatoes

[@Ness-oc2hw]

Yay now I know what to do with all my tomatoes - thanks for the recipie! Love the guitar music!

[@JEHomestead]

Vickie, Beautiful Rotel! I will have to try this with some summer tomatoes. I've been busy canning stuff from freezer and I guess I should video some of it:) Stay well and safe! Hugs, Judy

Thanks for the recipe.

I have been looking for a canning recipe for rotel forever! I use it by the case for everything. Just a hint, if you will steam your chille's, in a paper bag, or a bowl covered with plastic wrap or even a glass bowl with a cover, they will peel much easier for you even after they are frozen.

Thank you!

Thank you Tammy! 🐐🐐🐐🐐

Your home canned Rotel looks so yummy Ms. Vickie. I was born in NM, and I have eaten a lot of Hatch Green Chili. It is the best in my opinion. Thanks for sharing with us. You all stay safe and well. God Bless You Both.

[@VickiesCountryHome]

I never tried Hatch Chiles until probably 20 years ago, but they really do have a distinct, wonderful flavor! God bless, and stay safe!

[@valjalava1951]

Looks wonderful so what is the recipe for a single batch

[@iartistdotme]

Great recipe. I just have to get a pressure canner! What was I thinking to get rid of mine when I turned 60 and moved from our little farm? I'm retired, have been through many hobbies, and find myself still in love with preserving food. So I'm gardening again, dehydrating, water bathing, but no pressure canning. Oh well.My birthday is coming up and hopefully, someone gets the hint. LOL

[@VickiesCountryHome]

I think giving up canning would be hard for me to do. I love going into my pantry and getting out a jar of something I put away!

[@Shelzbells]

Do the peppers have to be roasted, or can they be chopped and used raw?

[@josiereed2076]

I'm wondering the same thing please help.

[@sidneythompson159]

Oh I love being able to make from scratch. I've never pressure canned so I am watching very closely. So from what I could see, no water was in the canner but I know there had to be?? Also, I love,love your apron. Can you share?? Thanks for all your sharing....

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Yes! You always add water to the canner, and if heating hot jars, use hot water. The amount depends on your pressure canner, so be sure to follow the instructions. Mine usually uses 3 quarts (or 3 inches before adding the jars). I have a friend that has made me a number of aprons that I love!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

So what's your theory on the cats🤣 Great recipe, I'm going to do this when tomatoes come on, xoxoxo

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Lol! I wondered if anyone would ask. These two cats are five year old brothers that were surrendered to the shelter because of the owner’s health. Then they were in the shelter several days, so they were pretty traumatized. We knew it might take time to settle in, especially with new dogs, so we put them in a bedroom with a doggie gate. They could come out, but the dogs couldn’t go in. We didn’t see them for 2 weeks, but we have a game cam, so we knew they were out at night. I would go in the room, sit, talk to them, and even watched YOUR videos in there. So, my theory is that when I am filming videos, they think I am talking to them, since usually no one else is around!

[@barbaramatheney1410]

I will try this in the sumner when the tomatoes come in again.

Ms Vickie, can one use plain iodized salt instead of canning salt? Also can frozen peppers be roasted or can my frozen used without peeling? I too have several bags of tomatoes and peppers that need to be used. Hatch peppers are delicious...do you save seeds or grow them? Id like to grow some. Ive been to hatch NM 30+years ago..

[@VickiesCountryHome]

I believe you could use iodized salt. I like canning salt best for this because it has no additives. I would check the peppers to see how thick the skins are. Mine were pretty thick, and I wouldn’t like to have them in the finished product. The same with tomatoes. If you are going to very finely chop, they might be ok. I haven’t saved any of the seeds, but I might buy some this year. I have never been to Hatch, but I sure do love those peppers!

[@ellegroover]

Where can I get coriander powder? I can’t get it on Amazon since I’m not in the zone for the “fresh“ stuff. We live in a little town in Oklahoma that they don’t deliver to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 🌸💕🌈

[@maryjaneplaza4971]

Try any Indian market

[@joyceshelby8858]

Thanks for the video. I tried Rotel a few years back but mine just didn't have the flavor I was looking for but after watching this I'm sure I will be trying this again this summer. Did you grow your own Hatch chili's? I went to Hatch NM, about ten years ago and would love to go back. I'm in southern Illinois and I don't find those good chili plants here in the Spring.

[@VickiesCountryHome]

You are welcome! The original recipe that I used didn’t taste right either, so I went and looked at the ingredients on the can. It really is pretty simple, and it definitely doesn’t use sugar! No, we are able to buy Hatch chiles locally for a short time each year. I usually try to buy a few, roast them, then freeze to have on hand.

[@charlenequinilty7252]

Great video but I have to ask why Peel the peppers

[@VickiesCountryHome]

A lot of the chili peppers have tough skins. If you don’t peel, you will find tough skins in the final product.

[@mday1416]

Vicki, I have a canning question. I have several 28 ounce cans of Cento crushed tomatoes and I want to make pizza sauce with it and can it. Do I need to add lemon juice to it before doing a water bath? Help please..........advice? words of wisdom? LOL thanks

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Well, I know you can use canned tomatoes to can into other products, and they might have had acid added, but for safety’s sake, I would add either lemon juice or citric acid. Especially since there will likely be low acid ingredients in the pizza sauce.

[@mday1416]

Well, I thought that may be the case but I wanted to ask an expert. thanks.......I have citric acid here so I am good to go.

[@lisanowakow3688]

Do you get the pressure gage up to 15 lbs and add a 15 lb weight while canning?

[@VickiesCountryHome]

I let the canner vent for 10 minutes (it will show a little pressure on the gauge), then put the 15 lb weight on, and let it come up to 15 lbs of pressure. Then I stay close by until it is finished to make sure the pressure doesn’t go up or down.

[@bridgetmarden7224]

With the coronavirus running around and things here are sparse I need to learn how to can stuff. Shame on me for not paying attention when my momma was alive and tried to teach me

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Well, there is no better time to learn! I have a canning playlist at: kzbin.info/aero/PLmxEit2cMuDvWC9pQJ6Rz9voaD-5tKjZG
