Absolutely tomato-tastic! Pom-adorable (ok, I'll stop). I think this type of communal activity would only serve to benefit the community cohesion; and you get passata for the rest of winter! We don't have this in the uk? Do we? Perhaps scrumping apples in somerset? Tony

tonydeltablues It's actually surprising that we don't really have pressure canning in the UK. People grow vegetables but don't quite know what to do with the harvest, I would of thought if you grow vegetables you would want to preserve them for the rest of the year.

Still plenty of good communities in the UK, swapping, making and sharing, you wouldn't know about them because if you did they wouldn't last long. Most small towns and villages have been bought out by people who have city wages who cant stand the city (atleast in my experience)

BLACK HAT My mum used to 'jar' fruit, not can....peaches, plums, and lots of things for winter eating, in Canada. They stayed in a shelved pantry, in the basement, to keep cool!

They bought a TRUCKLOAD of tomatoes, and made "enough tomato sauce to last them most of the winter" ... These are my kind of people 🤣

That's what a lot of Italian families do, especially in the south. Virgin olive oil in November, and tomato sauce in August. It's both a family rite and a tradition and you make them to last for the whole year to come.

This brings back such fond memories. I'm Italian but living abroad and I remember going back home for the summer and making fresh sauce for the winter. At the end of the day my aunt would bring fresh pasta she had made earlier to cook it and try the freshly made sauce!!! L'italia é il paese del cibo buono e della dolce vita!

Can't believe some people don't realize that vine ripened tomatoes picked at the optimum time of ripeness that you grow yourself without pesticides or other chemicals (or that you buy from a local organic producer). and that you can without additives are going to not only taste better but are better for you. That's not to mention how much this builds community and family cohesiveness.

I’m an American but my grandfather was from Italy. This video brought me back to my childhood! Every summer we’d put bushels and bushels of tomatoes through the food mill to have passata all winter long, and then my mom would can! So much fun and so much work!

Passata making sessions, that sounds like so much fun❣️ When I was a kid, I didn’t even know what passata was. Tomato sauce wasn’t common here in Norway at all, but at the end of the 70’s, it started changing, first came pizza, which was Norwegianized, of course, then we started to slowly changed our «Spaghetti and Million Beef» (Spaghetti and minced beef in brown gravey/sauce), tomato was added, and finally we went all the way to Spaghetti Bolognese and barely any makes Spaghetti in brown sauce anymore. Too bad, because it is really good! It shouldn’t be one or the other, it should be both. When I saw a TV show a few years ago, I learned that Italian grannies even used to make it - I thought it just was something Norweegians made, because they didn’t have tomatoes. Well, we still have a powder-sauce (which you add water or water/milk/cream to) which is a brown sauce with tomato (puré?) added, in stores (Toro brand, called «Kjøttdeigsaus»/«Minced Meat Sauce). Personally I don’t use powder sauces though, I had to buy one of that sauce a few years ago, a bit nostalgic. It’s not bad, it is quite good, I just don’t feel much need for it, I like making food from scratch. If I don’t have the energy, I just make a quick from scratch meal, like e.g. full grain pasta with a creamy mushroom sauce topped with nutritional yeast and a couple of veggie powders (dehydrated/powdered veggies, yummy and full of nutrients). Takes less than 15 minutes. I do buy basic tomato sauce though. I would have loved to make though, if I could get as good and affordable tomatoes as the Italians (or could have grown them myself). Or I buy Italian canned tomatoes, so happy we now get them, I gladly pay some more for that. I did cook BBQ sauce from scratch using Norwegian canned tomatoes though, and was surprised at how delicious it ended out, but I added quite a bit of sweetener to compensate, I didn’t use much real sugar though, I mostly used alternative sweeteners and it was great. I made it early in the summer and it’s already all used up, LOL... I for sure will do it again, I usually made BBQ sauce from ketchup with no sugar added, but since I saw how yummy it becomes when made from scratch, I for sure will make the ketchup too myself, it was soooo yummy with a little extra love, like balsamic and «white balsamic» vinegars in place of ordinary vinegars. Added a sweetness and depth I loved. YUM! OMG, it’s really late, almost midnight, but now I am really hungry, LOL... ☺️ I’ll climb off my soap box and make myself a little snack... ☺️🍅🍜🥤

There so smiley. There faces so happy. Can't help but love seeing people's smiles. ❤️❤️❤️

Great videos! I love your channel, and this video in particular reminds me all the times I saw my parents and my family gathering together to prepare the tomato 'passata'. They were all waking up at 5am, to collect the fresh tomatoes, than they were boiling them, and my task was to fill the bottles and close them. Every bottle should have two leaves of basil, so they'd be more tasty. I do not live in Italy anymore, but my parents are still preparing it every year, and I do not miss any chance of having some passata to bring with me to Switzerland when I go visiting them.

We do this here in Argentina!!!!!! Thanks nonna for teaching all my family how to do this ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's fun to see your grandmother cooking.🤗👍

As someone with 100% German heritage, we make our own sausage and sauerkraut together much like this. I think I'll add this to the mix. ♥️

So beautiful. How the families get together is fantastic! I’d love to join in and help out. ❤️

My father makes this (he's italian) i use it with home made pasta, loads of fresh basil, salt, pepper & chicken that's been slowly cooked in my Kamado Joe.....trust me it's gorgeous !!!

My family did this every summer!! My mom still does but on a smaller scale these days But, we grew our own tomatoes. There truly isn’t anything like it.

I love traditions like this. When family and friends make food together that.

Mi abuela en Chile hacía esto todos ños años. Tomates enteros y passata. Otro tiempo, otro ritmo de vida, pero el recuerdo perdura.

You're right old style is better, but the "cities style" point you made is a fallacy most who live in the country side eat fast food and processed garbage because corporations have bought everything and small businesses can't fight back since their is such poverty. Most cities have the high end restaurants and traditions with less big corporations since wall mart is banned is places like New York. You want less fast food? move to a city.

The only bad thing was when Signora M. sons cleaned the garage: all the bits and pieces went directly to my MIL garage hahahahahaha She got really mad every year!

Uno dei più bei ricordi della mia infanzia.. Fare il pomodoro tutta la famiglia insieme :)

idk how i got here but i’m enjoying it

I love it !

True. We did here at home in Northeastern Italy, my wife and me. The problem was that there was a lot of water, after all the process of bottling, sterilizind and settling but we did not know this simple procedure of squeezin the excess water prior to passing through the machine. In any case tomatoes in North Italy, in those years where winters were very cold and summers quite mild, did not reach the quality of those in the southern part of the peninsula, as for the majority of vegetables. Ours were winter resistant, poor and less diverse.

Oh, la nonnina si chiama come me 😊 Olga. E brava la granny 👍🍅

Questo video mi ha fatto lo stesso effetto di quelli sulla vendemmia; oramai non sono più un ragazzino e se ci sono cose che mi fanno tornare bambino sono queste, "fare i pomodori" (così diceva mia madre) e vendemmiare. Erano feste enormi, famiglia, parenti, amici... tutti a "lavorare" (si fa per dire, era una gioia) e poi si festeggiava a forza di brace, bruschette, vino, balli e canzoni (che darei per rivivere quelle giornate). Sry for italian I try to translate with google; this video made me the same effect like videos about harvest, I'm not more young and I'm back a child, I remember everything; family, relatives, friends, before the "work" (so to speak, that job was a joy) and then food, wine, music and dancing all together(I would pay gold to relive that days). Thanks to those who thought, worked and created a channel like this.
