    No lemon juice or citric acid? I always thought needed to be at a rolling boil on every video I’ve watched(??) also thought can 40 minutes for tomato?

    • @WheretheYoCalsGrow
      @WheretheYoCalsGrow  Před rokem +9

      Hello, I follow our Italian family traditional ways of canning. It has been done this way (beyond the 50's) and has been very successfully done. No, I do not add lemon juice nor citric acid to my spaghetti sauce, nor do I bring anything to a "rolling boil". A rolling boil is an uncontrolled boil that cannot be stopped when stirred. It's dangerous and if pressure builds up in the water under lids for any reason, it can explode. So, low boil aka simmer for 20 mins. I am not alone, lol. But if adding those things will build your confidence in water bath canning, then do them. Do what you're comfortable with.
      I hope this clears thing up. Best of luck with canning.

    While the sauce looks amazingly delicious, I’m not sure about water bath canning. Spaghetti sauce needs to be pressure canned to be safe - there are reasons if you read up on it. Especially when adding in additional ingredients. One would easily make that leap in thought - canning tomatoes/tomato sauce is just HWB so why not meatless spaghetti sauce? But as I mentioned, there are reasons. Also, dipping a lid in hot water doesn’t sterilize it. Sterilization requires boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Just a few tips from a long time canner.

    My Grandmother and Grandfather both came here from Sicily in 1937, my dad was 2, and my uncle John was 3 years old, the Elalunsa song you played me and my sisters know the words to, my Grandmother taught us, I fanally mastered her sauce, i`m the sauce guy now every Christmas when the family gets together, it took me 20 years to master, I make a huge pot and freeze it, not wanting to take up all the freezer room, I would love to can it. I never seen sauce water bathed, every video I watched say pressure can because it has meat, my sauce has Italian sausage chunks, pork chunks and burger, did you get away with it because you immersion blended it, I do not. I never seen anybody water can on a simmer, I water can my tomatoes boiling for 45 minutes, I have for years, following a ball recipe. I am curious, is it safe to water bath the meat chunks, or do I have to pressure can it, I do not own a pressure cooker. I would much rather can the sauce, than fill my freezer with these big bins all the time.

      Hello thank you so much for sharing your family’s story. I love reading them. There is no meat in my sauce. That’s why I am able to water bath can my sauce. As for the length of time, this was the canning time limit my mother, grandmother, great mother, father, etc water bath canned their sauce. As for simmering verses boiling, I don’t do for safety reasons.
      As far as watering bath canning anything with meat in the sauce, it needs to be canned with a pressure canner.
      Not sure how your freezing your sauce? I use to freeze all my bone broth before having a pressure canner. I used large gallon freezer bags doubled bag. I would lay them flat on s cookie sheet. Once I felt they were froze, I would place them up right like books. It helped not take up so much freezer space. Once I got a stand up freezer I used wide mouth canning jars. Not sure if this will help with space.
      I hope this helps with explained why I do it this way. But, I always tell everyone, do what your comfortable with for yourself and your family.

      Thank you so much for bringing to my attention I had left some amendments out below. No, 3-6lbs is correct. I know it seemed like a lot in the video, but 5 bags were cherry tomatoes. Sweet 100's, micro toms, small San Marzianos and Romas. Then the 3 bags in the sink were all 1/2 lb each. In total I had 6 1/2 lbs. I hope that clears things up. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

I have a bag of tomatoes in my freezer that I did not use. I am going thaw and weigh it. So, I can have a more accurate weight for you.
      I probably should add not all the bags were used in the sink. I think I understand the confusion now. Only 2 would fit into the pot I had. 3 bags where bags were used for picante sauce and later roasted in the roasting pan (you can see them on the side of the large jars in the first clip), and the other is the one in the freezer that I am going to weigh for you once's its thawed.

      They can create a thick product that does not allow good heat penetration. As a result, adding thickeners before canning may result in an unsafe product. To produce a thicker tomato product: Try using Italian plum-style or paste tomatoes

    • @WheretheYoCalsGrow
      @WheretheYoCalsGrow  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hello, first I want to tell you do not sound dumb for asking questions and seeking clarification. With that said, let’s start at the top and answer one at a time. You can pressure can or water bath can your sauce, the choice is yours.
      If your tomatoes are frozen, you do not need to blanch them. Let them thaw and the skins will slide right off. The seeds fall right out with a gentle squeeze. This is to only get the seeds out. Use a colander over a bowl, you want the juice.
      You do not need to smash them at first. As they cook down you can, but you could also smash them down first or blend them in a blender. It’s up to you. Your sauce should simmer for two hours. This allows everything to cook down.
      Bring your canning water to a low simmer, fill jars with hot liquid (sauce), place lids on, then into the water. Allow the jars to process in simmering water for 20 minutes. Some people do 30 to 40. Again at least 20 minutes. The water should already be hot when you place the jars into the pot. When you lower your jars into it, the water should cover just over the lids.
      I hope that answers all your questions.

      There is no glue on the lids. The lids and rings are by ForJars and come with a "rubber seal" on the upper inside. When water bath canned, or pressure canned, the seal locks down to jar. That is why you can remove the ring from the jar.
