*SMART GARDENING STYLE, WOOOOOWW!!!!, You are teaching me to be patient with plants,we will not get tired of watching this video, please don't stop gardening, continue like this, GO GO GO GOOOOOOOOOO!!!*

[@tagladyify]

I did the exact same thing. I bought 2 bushels of farm stand tomatoes and canned them. Now my own tomatoes are slowly coming in and I am washing and freezing them as they do so that I can have full batches to can when they are all done.

[@Latebloomershow]

I so wish I had done that from the beginning!

[@tagladyify]

@@Latebloomershow we live and learn and sometimes get lucky. I didn’t think I would get any harvest from my garden this year.

[@tahoeblue2491]

You are going to have some nice meals. A good project from your homestead. Enjoy.

[@sherrysimpson4966]

I canned everything I could get my hands on in 1978. Lol I moved in 1983 & still had many jars of food leftover. Thank God there were no cameras in my kitchen. I admire you , Kaye, for your flexibility & transparency in your kitchen. (citric acid) Your final product will be delicious this winter when you make chili & spaghetti sauce. BRAVO! 👏👏

[@paulamay362]

Kaye, I am a former Home Ec teacher who loves to can. If you are canning DIFFERENT SIZE JARS, you time by the largest jar size. Therefore, your quarts and 1 1/2 pints should process 40 minutes. You tomatoes looked beautiful! Katy May Ps. Explore steam canners-uses much less water.

[@Latebloomershow]

So does that mean I buy all new equipment? You aren’t the first person that mentioned it so I am intrigued.

[@paulamay362]

Kaye, The only new item you will need is the steam canner. Mine is a Fruit Saver Steam Canner but there are several brands, stovetop or electric. They are easy to research.

[@kbechtel33]

So helpful when you demonstrate the process.

[@sjansen2405]

Watch Suttens Daze or That 1870s Homestead channels. Both have a lot of good canning videos.

[@karenrogers2826]

Go to the dollar store for the lemon juice. Very red tomatoes, Kaye. How about some sweet heat salsa? And I’m so glad you didn’t burn yourself when the slow cooker was still plugged in.

[@sherreenations2964]

Thank you Kaye, very simple instructions for anyone.

[@greensteven6262]

Hello kaye great show I really enjoyed ur show today 👍😁🍷🍎

[@conniemcgehee2851]

Some people add white vinegar to the water bath water to keep the glass clear

[@lianepetersoncampbell3238]

LOL, I nervously laughed and giggled the first time I used immersion blender too ❤️ Watching your process of canning is comforting 🤗

[@lianepetersoncampbell3238]

...also, stainless steel pan filled with bright red cut tomatoes is a beautiful photo!!

[@dlweaver4329]

I canned first time this year.Made some salsa and pickles,LOL,it is a very rewarding feeling seeing those jars all sealed and displayed:-) I read where if you put a little vinegar in the canner water,it keeps the jars and lids from clouding up.I did not do that,but will next time to see if it works. Donna

[@bettyfreckles]

It's been such a long time since I participated in making tomato canning with my Mom. Nothing like it. Maybe it was because we were a family of 8 kids but my Mom salvaged the juice from the cutting board to add to her homemade soup and that too was delicious. Thank you for sharing another great video.

[@judyabernathy80]

Kaye, if you put 1/4 cup of vinegar in the canning water, they will come out without a film on them. You did a nice job. Everything looks so pretty. ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️

[@patriciaprimm4706]

Very good video!! You did great! I am proud of you!

[@tagladyify]

When I canned back in the 90s I just used a stock pot with a dish towel in the bottom to waterbath can my tomatoes cause that’s what I had and it worked just fine. Last year When I decided to can again I bought a canner from The Goods Store online that does waterbath or steam. I haven’t tried it out yet cause I’ve been using the All American pressure canner I got on Craigslist for a great price. I plan to try steam canning on my own tomatoes when I get enough for a batch.

[@gretchenarrant8334]

Ah the trials of canning!! That happens to all of us at one time or another but you're a good sport and laugh at yourself. The trials of Kaye!! Lol. Love seeing you canning. Keep up the good work!! I have never used citric acid or lemon juice in my tomatoes. I just put a tip of salt in each jar!! Never lost a jar!! Take care!!❤ I think we all get that film when we can. Doesn't hurt anything.

[@deannaclayton6934]

Tomatoes turned out beautifully!!

[@uppanadam74]

It's just like riding a bike!! You never forget!! Hah hah!! Not that I would know!! I have never done canning before in my life!! Best it gets with me is dehydrating!! Maybe I might do canning one day!! Just all looks too hard and complicated for me right now!! Cheers!!

[@maryloubartoli9190]

Love to watch you demonstrate the process.....always look forward to watching your videos....thanks

[@tdewtx]

I have never noticed that leaving the peels and seeds makes it bitter or taste bad I always just leave them. The pint and a half is my favorite jar. I do my potatoes in them and it is perfect for my husband and me. You process the pint and half as a quart

[@Latebloomershow]

Well it’s interesting because you get all the chaos all the jars on the rack by the time you load them up you know and the water is simmering but it takes a while to come up to a boil so I believe you start the timing when it gets to a boil so this could be quite a few minutes in there while it’s getting there so I’m confused about that part

[@tdewtx]

@@Latebloomershow I always have the water pre-boiling over..... rather than under. I find it easier to take out than to add water as it slows down the being all ready to go part having to add water. Yep, yep the hot pack water bath method is all the things prepped and ready to go so that it is a go from the putting of the jars in. Otherwise, it seems to take forever. As you get back into it you will be fine Kaye!!! One of my favorite pastimes... even though I consider myself an advanced canner is to watch canning videos. I learn something new every time!!! Also, I never go from memory, I always look it up in a ball canning book.

[@cryptonurse9945]

Awesome job! Don’t forget to de-bubble your jars

[@conniemcgehee2851]

good job. i only canned about 4 pints this year.

[@tagladyify]

I like to just add some jars of tomato paste to my sauce so I don’t have to cook it long. That keeps more nutrition in the food and much less cooking time, win/win. The emersion blender is an awesome invention. I love mine. I have one for cooking and one for making soap. I always run mine too long so hopefully I don’t wear them out early.

[@tdewtx]

I love my sauerkraut. I think this gallon I made is the best I have made so far. I like mine with salt and celery seed rather than the traditional spices.

[@annakaymccaleb6570]

OMG Kaye you are my hero it was makeing me nervous but i think i can do it LOL thank you.

[@kbechtel33]

Welcome back

[@tagladyify]

Beautiful cookware!

[@TheVillageFairy]

They look beautiful 🤗

[@MrDavey16]

Ohmygosh Kaye, you made me so nervous with this video! Thank God you weren’t hurt.

[@Ficus_blue]

I'd love to do canning but the Ball canning jars are incredibly expensive here in the UK.

[@sheliawalls7859]

Anytime I can I let the product sit overnight then wash my jars with soapy water before storing....sometime the jars will have a film where the jars syphon just a bit in processing

[@tagladyify]

Your jars of tomatoes are beautiful. Not sure if it’s a camera thing, but they look huge. Are they quarts or half gallon?

[@Latebloomershow]

Quarts and later the pint and halfs. The half gallon comes to the top of the pot so I would not be able to cover it in water

[@wildchook745]

Corer or not device, you're doing great, Kaye. Mary's Nest is a wonderful canning source because she uses safe methods of preserving food. Yep, it's a good idea to have the Ball book. Yes, watching different canning videos to give you the confidence to do it yourself. Buy both, citric and lemon juice. Maybe a pint is a good size for you. Always make sure your content (sauce) is the same temperature as the water bath. Good job, Kaye, you're canning. Look at your ferments, nice.

[@Latebloomershow]

Oh dear Mary, I can’t say that my content was the same temperature as my water bath it was hot but not simmering

[@wildchook745]

I mean when you put the jars in the water bath to prevent shock and breakage. You did great.

[@lindawoody8501]

I had few tomatoes out of the eleven original seedlings I transplanted in my container gardens last March. I have seven living tomato plants and a few fruits on the vines but the plants are again struggling with our 100+ degree heat. Hope to do better next season. I am a beginner here in the upper desert. Very hot early in May so that hurt.

[@Waltzonthemoon]

Admiration!

[@realmanpwns]

Add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the water in the pot when you process the jars and the hard water won't stain the lids.

[@craftystash8667]

So delicious 😋

[@michellejaggard9657]

To take up space in the pot if you don't have enough jars fill a jar/jars with water and put lid on and can with your other jars,

[@Latebloomershow]

should have done that, thanks!

[@jeannamaynard5037]

I hope you cleaned the water off the top of the stove it can cause it to crack. But, I love this video!

[@nancyates9822]

I love my immersion blender.you can make home made mayo with it too. God bless

[@Latebloomershow]

I can't wait to make my own mayo!!

[@nancyates9822]

@@Latebloomershow it literally blew my mind when I actually made the mayo.lol. it is amazing!

[@dirtywhitehorse]

did they tell you what variety they are?,,My system is very different ,I offered a canning workshop last year but got no response ,I have canned every year for 40 years .I even have a colindars i bought in NM before I met kc .I use no electic devices and use over 20 heirloom variities of tomatoes that I save the seed from as well.

[@Latebloomershow]

I sure wish we lived closer together

[@grandmaofthree897]

I'm sure someone has said to use a little bit of vinegar in your water to help with the cloudiness on the lids? Just thought I would mention it in case no one did!

What I’ve found is great craftsmanship and deep discounts/sales after you buy your first product. I know it’s pricey compared to cookware from China.
