I still got all these Tomatoes and I'm gonna see what I can do with them
I bet you're wondering what in the world Tessie are you doing this is a new way
that I make pizza sauce it's using the whole tomato the skins and everything
it's so simple and so easy I've been doing this now for a couple years I'm
gonna share with you how we can go from Tomatoes like this to beautiful pizza
sauce and just about half of a day it's long roasting and then we're going to
blend them up and you'll never know that we're using the whole tomato the tomato
skin has a lot of properties in it that are really good for fighting cancer the
skins of produce like carrots are really good for you and potatoes since I know
that this is verified that it is not sprayed tomatoes these organic Tomatoes
GMO free I'm going to go ahead and we're going to use these skins I want to get
this tomato paste for three dollars back in the winter time and I had just the
idea of how to use it so I'm going to go ahead and this is a number ten can so
we're going to use half of the can in this batch every single counter space I
have is full Tomatoes so we can't use all of the paste in here but we'll use
some of it and then the rest of the tomato paste is going to go in all of my
other kettles and crock pots full of tomatoes so we're gonna go ahead and
we're just gonna let this all marinade
now I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna use some spices they use up a bunch of stuff
that I have I had just a little bit of sugar left in this jar so we're gonna
put that in my homemade seasonings we're gonna put that in which I have lots of
videos on now we're gonna put pretty much in it because this is a lot of
spaghetti sauce or pizza sauce I use it interchangeably now of course this is
going to cook for another two hours so it will cook down and it will thicken as
it cooks I found one of these pizza sauce mixes we're just gonna throw this
in
because I don't know the acidity of these Tomatoes I will be pressure
canning these Tomatoes
so now we're gonna turn it up I'm gonna let this cook for a while and I'll show
you what it looks like alright so this is what it looks like now they're all
wondering well I've blended up all of these tomatoes and the skins aren't
they're little pieces of skins if you pressure can it the skins will
disintegrate and you won't have any skins you won't even know there was
skins in here this is about done I did add some fresh peppers it will thicken
when it is pressure canned it will thicken up more Plus get a very dark red
color I say this is pretty good I'm gonna start charring it all up about
half of them I gave one of the courts away so that's
what dried bananas look like let me turn the light on so you can see better these
are my dried bananas I don't treat them with lemon juice or anything they do get
a little dark but they're very very delicious
this will ask me a couple years in a container like this I did put some
oxygen absorbers in it just to give it extra safety and absorbing any moisture
this would last me much longer than what I need it to because we will have these
already consumed before he would ever ever get stale
I have to Canter's running and as soon as these Cantor's are finished I'm going
to set them on a hot pad so they can totally cool and so I don't waste any
time these two cannons ready to go I'm using all four Cantor's of mine today
plus my water bath canner is out in the candy garage and that is processing all
of my relish tomatoes are done my relish is done and I could say that food
harvest is finally done but guess what tomorrow it starts all over again
because I have my garden that I got to work on well it's the very next morning
and the aftermath of all of that canning from the food bank so that is produce I
picked in the garden last night and all of those jars of pizza sauce whoo-hoo
we're finally finished oh I thought it would never end but I am so excited to
be able to watch these jars pack them up and put them away
so today is cleaning day and that is Friday so I'm gonna get cleaning today
just getting read up what my mama would say in other words put everything back
in its place and get my house back in order it's been a chaotic week with food
everywhere but it's such a blessing so come along follow me through the day and
let's get this stuff done well everybody I think my pantry is complete so I am
NOT going to buy any more food to put in the pantry even if it's really cheap I
am going to use the food that was going to be thrown away and I'm going to
continue to use that to stock up my pantry but this room is completely full
and it's all things I can use and all things I can help other people with so I
think I think we're good sometimes you just have to
is enough is enough and I'm gonna really not focus on not spending money not
spending any money and just using stuff that is going to be thrown away and so I
think you'll be excited once a month I'm gonna have an update on what I get at
the food pantry and I'm going to share with you what I'm working on with it but
I still have my garden to do and that's a lot of work and I'm going to continue
to garden and I continue to put dates on things and rotate things this room is a
lot bigger than it appears
and of course over here is a cup or two so all of my cupboard space is full
everything is really really full and when I have time and I use up some
things and I'll be able to put the spaghetti sauce up here but I think it's
good I think it's great saving food from the landfill and I can't wait to share
with you next month on my food pantry hauls because it sure is fun
