Today I officially added one more useful trait to my repertoire given we find ourselves in an apocalypse type scenario. Master food preserver. Alright, I'm not quite there yet, but I did make my very first batch of tomato sauce using tomatoes from our garden. In just under three hours I was able to make almost 4 cups.
Ok, so I learned it's really better to do this whole process when you have a whole crap ton of tomatoes ready because approximately 7 lbs of tomatoes doesn't make all that much when you reduce it down and get all that liquid off.
What I also learned was that you have to have the top off the stock pot to get the liquid to cook off. Duh. It's like I don't want the Food Network Every. Single. Night. I mean, I'm watching it right now. Lesson learned and it didn't take me that long to correct. Furthermore I plan on purchasing a pressure canner and really take this up a notch. Anybody out there can? Any advice?
