We are towards the end of our tomato season in central Texas. But luckily I saw this video and I made a batch. My husband and I tasted it and loved it. However, we thought we’d like to spread it on burgers, etc. so I used my immersion blender once it was at the consistency I wanted it. We cannot wait. If I get another 5 lbs of tomatoes, I will be doing some more!!

115° heat index today and i made this! This recipe is delicious! I skinned the tomatoes though. Hint of sweet and hint of heat! Perfect for so many dishes to eat it with. I used maybe 6-7 lbs if romas and san marzano tomatoes. Got 4 1/2 pints and 2/3 of a fifth one. The fifth one went right in my fridge..lol It is quite a process reducing the tomatoes but i had prepped zucchini and peppers before starting the tomatoes. Zucchini needed to soak in salt for two hours for my relish so it worked out well in timing. Took around 5hrs to finish up both water baths but oh my the results! I took pictures of most that hadn't been taken to the pantry yet, so hopefully I'll get them sent to you. Wish there was a recipe that included a genie for clean up. The kitchen is back in order and no one would know the chaos i had going on in there...pat on the back 😊. Well, time for bed and a much deserved chocolate chip cookie. I allow myself one every night. Looking forward to my next haul of tomatoes by this weekend. The heat has turned up the ripening finally. Edit: i showed your video to an elderly lady, 93, today. We can together!

Hey Carter, The jars looked beautiful and bright red as you were taking them out of the canner. :) I've had a steam canner on the shelf unopened for 2 years. Time to break it out and get busy. My last 3 canning projects (ground beef, sweet pickle relish and dill pickles) turned out perfect. The ground beef looks beautiful and delicious in the jars. The other canned it water looked as gross as it tasted LOL! I sat down, put on my thinking cap on and what I came up with (from my limited experience) the only thing I did differently was not heat up my lids. I've watched others not heat the lids and you don't think you did in this video, didn't work for me. I've had all jars seal since heating them first.

Right now it's Feb in WI but I'm saving this vid for when tomatoes are in season because my son & grands are BIG ketchup fans in this house. One hint I'd like to share when it comes to tomatoes when it comes to adding them to sauces. When chopping them up for anything saucy, remove the seeds & centers from about half the tomatoes. This will reduce the amount of bitterness, especially when canning, & the amount of liquid you need to reduce when cooking them down. It's something I learned from America's Test Kitchen long ago & it's served me well over the years. They found that most of the "tomato-ey" taste came from the gel-like environment around the seeds, but that too much of the seeds when blended into a sauce would add a certain bitterness to it. The solution was removing about half the seeds from any amount of tomatoes being used in a recipe. I also take the time to peel tomatoes but that's just me. Even my grandma, when I was a kid, would tell me I had the patience of a saint when she'd watch me peeling fruit w/out taking the time to eat any of them until I'd peeled ALL of them. Just built differently, I guess. XD ETA: I've found that when canning or just reheating over time, red pepper flakes DON'T mellow but get spicier. If a recipe calls for red pepper flakes, but I want it to just give it a mild kick to the back of the throat, & overall robustness to a red sauce, I use either 1/3 less pepper flakes or 1/4 of the entire amt in cayenne powder. It DOES mellow over time, & disperses better throughout the sauce.

Tomato jam has always been on my list of things to try but I've never had enough tomatoes to do more than a year's worth of pizza sauce. This year I found a local farmer that will let me buy sauce tomatoes in bulk. He grows Pisano sauce tomatoes and Sunrise Sauce, which are orange. I bought 30 lbs of Pisano on Saturday and had to break them down in batches because they weren't all ripe at the same time and I bought a small batch of the Sunrise to try. I was initially disappointed in the Sunrise as they were nearly flavorless when fresh, but oh my word they make a good sauce!!! No acidity and naturally sweet once reduced. Glad I did a small batch to try them out. Now I need ideas for using an orange tomato sauce because my family might revolt if I used it as pizza sauce. LOL I did a small batch of the ripened Pisano and they're ok but will need a sweetener to offset the acid. The bulk of the tomatoes ripened yesterday so today I have to get them in the roaster so I can get my kitchen island back. Plus, my tomatoes (San Marzano) are starting to come on strong. I'm up to my eyeballs in tomatoes for the time being! Hopefully with this bulk source of organic tomatoes I can finally try some tomato jam!!!

Going to use the recipe from Living Traditions since she's a self proclaimed ketchup snob and claims this is better than Heinz. I have just the right amount for a half batch, which is perfect based on our annual ketchup usage. I decided to use some of the orange sauce with chicken last night, something like a chicken parm but with a mexican blend of cheeses instead of mozzarella and parm. The sauce reduced even further in the oven and by the end was a deeper orange color, which went well with the cheese, and I think the cheese gave it enough savory flavor to offset the sweet of the sauce. I didn't even season the sauce before use... just salted the chicken and added fresh basil on top of the cheese once it was close to being done. I have only maybe 2-3 pints worth left of the sauce and was too tired to can it last night so I froze it with the plan of getting enough tomatoes to get a full canner load.
