After I picked all the tomatoes from the garden, I put it in the box and close it. After several days, most of them were ripe so me and daughter canned them the other day.
My little helper is always ready for action. She volunteered to clean up the tomatoes as she won't be able to help with the peeling.
After the tomatoes was peeled and chopped, we boiled it in a pot. when it was done, we put it in jars. The fun part for the kids is waiting for the lids to "pop" hehehe.
We made seven quarts of tomato sauce. I put some oregano and basil as I boil it. These would be tasty for chili and lasagna.
After the trick or treat, we celebrated Jim's birthday. Happy happy birthday Jim, may you have a healthy and long life ahead. Below is the ice cream cake we had. 
Nice, I've read about this process in a book, pero ngayon ko lang nakita in details. Pwede rin ba yan for salsa? :)
ReplyDeleteI do miss homegrown tomatoes right off the plants like my mom used to have. I can't grow tomatoes much here in Florida. How nice your daughter wants to help you like that, she's so cute! Your canning looks like a success!
ReplyDeleteGreat and appetizing photos!
ReplyDeleteThe big football on the blue and white cake is eye-catching.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Rose.
Happy Birthday Jim.
ReplyDeleteI have almost finished all the tomatoes that I bottled already - we have been making pasata sauce!! I also love listening to the pop of the jars!!! Diane
I never have had much luck ripening tomatoes that way mother nature does much better with the green ones we make fried green tomatoes or relish.
ReplyDeleteMy son would love the cake as he is big football fan as well
Wow, that's a lot of tomatoes. You can probably get instructions from the internet on how to make tomato puree which you can can and store for a longer period of time. Happy Birthday to Jim. BTW, who's Jim, lol. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
ReplyDeleteNice. Ang bait ni Rylie. Good job mommy for teaching good values to your kids. Ang sarap nang cake ha.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
ReplyDeleteI always hated peeling the tomatoes, so I tried whizzing them in the blender until the skins were just tiny pieces. When they are boiled the air from blending them comes out, so they have to be stirred more, but they can just fine & work well for anything you would put chopped tomatoes in. They are just in smaller bits!
Thanks for the visit!
ang laki naman ng kamatis nyo rose, dito kasi malapit lang palenge... hahaha kaya buy lang anytime lol... bait naman ni little helper...
ReplyDeletewow that is really nice to look at, i know it is even nicer in taste. Really looks yummy.

ReplyDeleteHi Rose, bumalik na naman ako. hehehe, Ang late nang hopping ko. George was so fuzzy this morning kasi. O sya. Hop hop muna ako. :) Xoxo
ReplyDeletewow, pati canning kaya mo rin....saludo na talaga ako sayo, Rose....sarap nyan s spaghetti lalo na at may basil pa, yum!
ReplyDeletewow ang galing! pano siya mapreserve, did you put any other ingredients. how long will it lasts? galing ni rye ha, marunong na talaga.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried canning our tomatoes from the garden and it is just a waste. I usually just go ahead and make fresh sauce for our pasta. I was afraid that canning these tomatoes would take a long time and a long process. Was yours easy ba mommy? If so, would you mind sharing your recipe? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow sarap sa spaghetti niyan. Noong ganyang edad ako kay Rylie ayaw ako patulungin baka kc imbes na gaan ang maiutlong tulong eh disaster ang mangyari..hehe
ReplyDeleteI could imagine putting those tomatoes on my parmigiana. Tasty!!!
