TOMATOS , TOMATOS, & A SQUEEZO

THE SET UP
A SINK FULL

SQUEEZING

ALL DONE




COOKING THE SAUCE
WEATHER : TEMP 91 Fall is not here!
Yesterday I went out to my brothers and set up the squeezo and made tomato puree to make spaghetti sauce. I use to make home made sauce years ago. And just resurrected it a couple yrs ago when my brother planted a garden and had about a zillion tomato's. I don't know how many of you know about this little jewel, the squeezo, but if you don't and you make any kind of tomato juice or sauce, you must get one! You put the tomato's in the top , do not peal them, press them down the funnel with the plunger and out the side of the sieve comes the juice and out the end comes the seeds, skin, and stems. It is a wonder of the cooking world! I have been doing them as the ripen and freezing the juice till I get enough to do a batch. That would be about 16 pts. that is how many my pressure caner holds. Yesterday I did three sink full of tomato's and cooked it down a little, then on Sat morning we are going to make a batch. I don't mind cooking and enjoy it most of the time, and caning is a part I have always liked to do.
I don't have a geocache today, but will post one next time. I had a yard sale last Sat again I forgot to take pic. I did take some at the flea market I set up at on Sun. will post them next. Today I am making raspberry jelly. More late about that.
Till next time
G&M
