Tomato Sauce 2015


TOMATO SAUCE




We tried the blender method this year for tomato sauce.
Cut off top and any blemishes. 
Chopped into chunks and blended until smooth. 
Then pored it through a sieve to remove the seeds. (This is defiantly faster than blanching peeling coring and ruing through a mill )
Then it is just matter of cooking it down.  
The turkey roster in the oven still seems to be the best option. 

Pint:
• ¼ tsp Citric Acid or 1 Tbsp bottled lemon juice
Quart:
• ½ tsp Citric Acid or 2 Tbsp bottled lemon juice
Add salt (optional) in the quantity specified below:
• Pint: ½ tsp
• Quart: 1 tsp
Add dried herbs (optional) to each jar.
Ladle hot sauce into prepared jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.  
Wipe rim. 
Center lid on jar. 
Screw band down until resistance is met, then increase to fingertip-tight.
Bring to a boil and process pint jars for 35 minutes and quart jars for 40 minutes.
