Canning tomato sauce is a social event, call your friends and family to help

Cut the tomatoes into 4 sections, removing the green connection of the stem and any damaged parts.

Cleaning the tomatoes

As soon as a bucket is ready, pour the tomatoes into a large caldron to cook while covered, stir from time to time to make sure they don&#x27;t stick to the bottom.

Pre boiling the tomatoes

Roughly line the crates with some old clean towels

Align the crates over the drainage grid so the water of the tomatoes can drain away

Once the tomatoes have softened and lost their consistency, poured them back into the crates over the towels

Squeeze the tomatoes inside the towels

Strain the water from the tomatoes

Grinde the tomatoes in the grinding machine, one, two, three times, to make sure no pulp is left on the skin.

Grinding the tomatoes

The tomato skin and the parts of the tomatoes that were removed earlier will go into the compost, to fertilize more tomatoes plants for next year.

Zero waste

The jars should be sterilised

Put a basil leaf inside each jar and fill them with the tomato sauce

Filling the cans

Place the barrel over the burners

Place a potato bag at the bottom of the barrel

Preparing the barrel

Put a band around each jar

Layer the jars placing potato’s bags over them until they filled the barrel to the top

Fill the barrel with water all the way to the top

Placed a cover on top, and a brick to stop the jars from floating and banging while boiling

Start the fire and wait for the water to boil

Putting the jars filled with tomato sauce in the barrel

Let the jars boil for 1 hour

Turn off the fire and wait until the next day for the water to cool down completely before removing the jars

A vacuum has now formed inside the jars and the sauce will keep for the winter
