So much fun. I helped friends with making sauce this year, 207 jars. I would like to buy them a giant wooden spoon (they used a 1 by 4 board to stir the tomatos) as a present for next year’s tomatos, just don’t know where to buy one. Any ideas.
Thank you

Just finished jarring a bushel of tomatoes the way you described. Of the 12 quart jars I made 5 of the lids seem to have bubbled up with a dent or crease in the lid. Any idea why this happened? I was wondering if I tightened th lids too tight. The tomatoes were put in the jars with about a 1/2″ of space to the top of the jar. Any ideas?

This sounds a little easier than the way we did it… I will try it. We use to boil water and put in in one sink, cold in the other sink. Dump tomatoes in the hot water, to loosen skins, then in the cold water to peel and squeeze out extra water. From there, we put them in a huge kettle to cook.

We also altered some of the batches to have more herbs or different herbs than others, for different types of sauces.

Depending on which relative we worked with, the cooked tomatoes were put into sterilized jars with sterilized lids and bands and set to cool, the heat vacuum sealed them. The other relative would put them in jars and put them in a hot bath described as above with the rest of the procedures the same.

Either way, can’t beat the flavor.

We have made grape jelly, syrup, etc., from our grapevines here in Minnesota. Also a lot of work, but worth it.

This is exactly how we do it although we haven’t done it in a while. My grandmother used to do it outside but now me and my cousin’s wife have started doing it and we do it on the stovetop.
