Water Bath Canning Tomatoes - Fresh Salsa and Roasted Tomato Pizza Sauce | Off Grid Australia 279

linktr.ee/OurS...
Tomatoes! I managed to get about 30kg of tomatoes from the fruit and veg haul this month and we were completely out of salsa and pizza sauce, so that is what these ones were destined for!
I base my salsa recipe on the ball recipe.

There's always a juggling act in the beginning period of the grocery haul when it is fresh, because you want to make sure you use up all the food that can't be preserved but you also have all this exciting food to be eaten!
You have to figure out what is most important to handle first and go with it.

U need to put out a cook book.i have never seen anyone so informative on food as u .amazing

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Maybe eventually, in all my spare time! :D

@OurSmallFootprint im so impressed how u try to answer every one .u look after u to

[@rain.danceing3867]

Yes a cookbook maybe... "When Your Kitchen is outside". 😊

[@paperbark3754]

@@OurSmallFootprint lol. one thing at a time. maybe make the webpage a school project your little ones can help with! (the webpage creation - not the book, rofl!), with all of them enjoying tech-based entertainment it would be a valid home-schooling project and also potential future workplace skill if any of them have an aptitude in that area.

Agree, we enjoy your presence

[@maureentalbot9635]

I have watched huge amounts of canning videos but no one before has mentioned that after blending you need to continue to cook for a time to avoid issues so your worries about other people may be better for canning videos I’d wrong you have taught me something new. Thank you❤

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Hehe, yes, I spose, we all have something to offer! :D. Thank you Maureen :D

I had to figure out a lot of ways to try and have multiple things going when we had all those tomato plants of our own hehe :D

[@sallyhostetter2820]

Nyssa, you are a good teacher. Genius idea to roast the tomatoes with onion and garlic to make your pizza sauce. Never occurred to me to do that. Thanks for this video. Good to see you again.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

It works really well, it sweetens all three of them and it reduces that liquid makes it a bit more intense before you even start cooking it down :D. I have been known just to shove those tomatoes straight in jars in peak garden season too :D

[@tracyleverton9609]

I had been freezing my excess of tomatoes until I could do something with them, do you think that they would still be ok to roast straight from the freezer?

[@OurSmallFootprint]

@@tracyleverton9609 I do, they do lose a bit more water and don't look as appealing, but it does the same thing, it gives it that sweetness and bit of colour. Sometimes I will pull it out half way through and pour off some of the liquid if I feel like the tomatoes are 'stewing' rather than roasting.

[@tracyleverton9609]

Thank you for replying. I definitely think the roasting with add a better flavour. Looks like I am making pasta sauce and pizza sauce tomorrow 🙂

[@darlinglittleoness]

Nyssa, I stumbled across you due to your canning vids, possibly a Fowlers one. Fell in love with your style and the way you present and create. Binged watched as much as I could as quickly as I could. Very much look forward to any future canning content!!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Welcome! :D. We're always canning stuff here, so I'm happy to share the way we do it :D

[@vegemitegirl1971]

I've canned tomatoes in the past too, when there were 5 of us (me, hubby, 2 kids and Aunty M). I'd usually do 100-120 jars a season. I grew most of those and the most I ever bought was 2 boxes.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

The year before last when I had a good garden, I had 200 plants! I was canning a steamer load full every few days, it was awesome, I can only hope that things improve this garden season! :D

[@angelafleming3328]

I love your canning video's I am a fairly new pressure canner have been water bathe canning since I was a little girl we use to use wax in our jams yeah I am 51 years old. I am getting lots of tomatoes from the garden I am freezing them and when I get 5 gallons I will start canning spaghetti sauce with meat I have to can my own sauce because I have a nickle allergy which is in a commercial cans. I already have 5 gallons of blackberries in the freezer to make blackberry jam and syrup. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

The year we had an abundant garden I would roast trays of tomatoes every couple of days and then just pack jars and steam can them in small batches hehe, lack of freezer room and it meant I had roasted tomatoes, plain, to do whatever I wanted later on! Worked really really well!

[@vickiallum2190]

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Food is fun to watch, even me, who handles and cooks all day everyday, still watches other peoples food videos hehe :D

[@bethenyauker4727]

Both looked so good! I'm definitely going to try the roasted pizza sauce when my tomatoes are ready. I've never done the roasting method before. We go through a lot of tomato products!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I find that its worth doing, it kinda sweetens the tomatoes and the garlic and onion and I rarely even have to add anything more to it!

[@farmbabylife9618]

Love this video thank you nyssa. Are you able to please do a Q&A video soon if possible. I’ve got so many questions 😂❤❤

We are in berry season now in Canada so I froze 4kg raspberries ($30!) last weekend and this weekend should be cherries which I can get for under $2/lb ($4.40/kg) and that is a great deal here. We aren’t huge tomato eaters but your canning looked wonderful!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Oh, yum! We didn't get much in the way of cheap berries this year, dunno why, possibly just my timing, being that I only go to the F&V every 6 weeks I think I miss some things that are only briefly avail.

[@Emsta]

You could totally also put them into colander to drain and then into thermie

Emily, again, wait until the end of the video

Heh, yes :)

They were noisy this time! the kids and the dogs too, there was lots of snipping of the audio track this time round lol.

[@kerrijones719]

Hi Nyssa, great video!😊 We do nearly exactly the same ingredients and method to can. Nothing like homemade sauces. Made to taste...❤

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I love being able to control how it tastes, sometimes bought tomato products that are flavoured are a little too much for me!

[@ingridkarm8922]

Love seeing a fellow Aussie showing that its not rocket science to preserve food even here, as its seen as a very strange or "prepper" thing to do. I am hoping you can share the link for where you get your forjars lids from. cheers

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Its taking off a bit more here in Australia I reckon... and definitely not a prepper thing, just making the most of what we have in a way that works! I ended up buying them off Amazon, I found with my prime membership (which is totally worth the monthly fee) it worked out the most economical. amzn.to/44nLFmb

[@ingridkarm8922]

@@OurSmallFootprint great thankyou. I hope more people start preserving, it will maybe bring some stock availability and price reductions here.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

@@ingridkarm8922 there's still a lot of people who just don't understand why you would, I get that a lot, why would you put it on your shelves, why not just freeze it, make it fresh, etc. It really is a bit of a lifestyle thing too.

[@ingridkarm8922]

@@OurSmallFootprint Yeah I get that from my kids and family, "why not just buy it at the supermarket every week", even through the mess of 2020-22 when stuff just wasnt available on the supermarket shelves (im in victoria and we rent in suburbia so no room to grow my own anymore, it was really bad down here especially with the 5km only travel radius and a 1pack only limit) they never missed any of their favourite requested meals as I had all the stuff already on hand and they still dont get it. Sometimes I do wonder if its all worth it, trying to source food in bulk, (I looked at costco but by the time I added in membership, fuel, tolls it worked out the same as the supermarket) is not easy, and my local markets, fruit shops are not ones that sell boxes of produce at a reduced price. But still I preserve, although most times my jars are probably more expensive than a supermarket no brand equivalent, I enjoy it and I know what went into it..

[@rain.danceing3867]

Wow great canning video! Your technic for roast the tomatoes is wonderful.I know it's time consuming to do a voice over for that video, but so helpful. Thank you very much! Where do you buy your lug lids? I save some jars also but have just been using mine in the fridge or with dehydrated things. Again... thank you Nissa. Love your videos.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I buy them from a few places, depending on how many I need/pricing/shipping etc :D. Pack My Products, Green Living Australia, Cospak and Plasdene all have good ranges! :D

[@rain.danceing3867]

Thank Nissa

[@mylife-321-0]

Thank so much for making this video. I have been busy picking tomatoes for 2 days here in Arkansas. So now comes the canning. This was a wonderful refresher on my canning skills. Yours came out beautifully! TFS!!!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

In peak tomato season I have been known to put them straight out of those trays and into jars! then just process them and there will be roasted tomatoes avail for me on the shelf for later! :D

[@whatever-ql5ns789]

So you are saying “canning”, but it’s actually water bathing”?

[@OurSmallFootprint]

It is water bath canning :). Water bathing, jarring, preserving etc, all terms are somewhat interchangeable, but to make it clear I use water bath canning and pressure canning to differentiate the two techniques :)

[@holleym2927]

I really need to try to find a source for the "lug lids" here in the US. It really upsets me that other countries have these things and you can reuse lids and here it is frowned upon! Capitalism at its worse!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

Darn, its not easy to find ? We have multiple sources, but come to think of it, I don't see many Americans using them... maybe because Ball Mason is so much easier to get there!

[@holleym2927]

@@OurSmallFootprint No. They are not sold in stores like the Ball Mason ones. I know of two places you can order them online but never have because it's so confusing to figure out what size you need. They don't want us reusing jars from things that we've bought in the stores with food already in them. So unless you have a jar that fits a regular or wide mouth Ball Mason type lid you can't reuse the jar!
