Canning Tomatoes for Spaghetti Sauce
This year, you planted a garden, and the tomatoes are now overflowing. Perhaps the tomatoes from your neighbors' garden are overflowing and falling in a cardboard box on the front porch. You have too many tomatoes to eat in either case. The answer? Make spaghetti sauce out of those tomatoes.
The best use for an excess of tomatoes is canning them for spaghetti sauce. Spaghetti sauce has several uses. Yes, you can use it on spaghetti as well as other dishes like pizza and lasagna.
Great spaghetti sauce is much simpler to make and can than you might imagine. There are probably many of you who remember your mother or grandmother working in the kitchen.on the hottest day in late summer. The house filled with the hot acidic smell of tomatoes. You will still get that at little, but at least we have air conditioning now, right?
The fundamentals of preparing spaghetti sauce are as follows:
Clean and sterilize your jars - Cleaning is second only to godliness when it comes to canning. or it at least prevents you from getting food poisoning and ending up in the hospital. Verify that you adhere to all cleaning instructions for the jars you plan to use for storage.
Prepare Your Tomatoes -Undoubtedly, this takes the longest amount of time. Washing and cooking are required for your tomatoes. There must be a removal of the skin and seeds. Following that, you needed to add the spices that your recipe called for. The need to adhere to a recipe cannot be overstated. It might be a grave error to add additional vegetables to the dish.
Can your sauce Once your sauce is done cooking, pour it into your cleaned and sterilized jars. Make sure to wipe up any excess or anything sauce that may have slopped down the sides of the jar. Take special care to clean the lip of the jar. Any sauce there could affect the way the jar seals. Place your lid on the jar, seal the lid with a ring and place in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes or so. Adjust for elevation if necessary.
When the jars "pop" as they cool, you will know they are sealed. You can store them in the pantry for later use once they are cool and you are assured that the seal is strong. Keep the jars away from hot and cold environments.
I hope that this helps you get a rough understanding of how to can spaghetti sauce at home. If you put your mind to it, it truly isn't that difficult, as I previously stated.
