Thanks for joining me on this MASSIVE tomato processing day! I hope you have a wonderful weekend - Becky
I’m riding in the car so can’t watch/listen. Do you have the recipe for the marinara somewhere? I checked your website and it didn’t come up in a search.
@@kellyc4480 it’s listed in the Ball cook book.
I found the site that you mentioned local harvest, but I’m still not sure what I need to do to pick the right one for myself. What should I look for?
Me definitely
@@AcreHomestead I always enjoy your videos
Who would love to be a helper in Becky's kitchen? 🙋♀️
I was just thinking that she should have a helper. I'm sure if she asked anyone would help her. Even I could just wash the tomatoes for her.
Me for sure
✋🏼
I kept thinking that she needed while watching her.
Yes her husband asking her why she is overwhelmed is funny to me. It makes me think he has no idea of the actual scale of the wok involved. I have been canning tomatoes for 7 years and I know the work effort and time it takes. There is nothing more rewarding then growing and preserving your own food but it does get overwhelming. I always use the food mill with mine but I have never done it roasting them and I may try this method. Shes amazing :)
"I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I put it in the food." 🤣🍷
or put it in ME while making food - lol
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@deborahdeborah8724 That is what the OP meant.
Have you ever thought of doing a canning club? It is just getting together with one or two other women who like to can and help each other. One can clean, one can cut other ingredients and the third can do whatever else is needed. It means you all can do it for each other and save time. Plus it is fun.
I am at my son’s home and he wanted me to teach him how to can tomatoes. It fills my heart that our sons are asking their old mama to teach them our family traditions! I think I will try this marinara recipe when we get back to Ohio! My canning cupboard is filling up!
GREAT JOB Becky!!!!
Josh is such a gem! So many family members just see the end product and don't have any concept of the amount of work involved in home canning.
Did you put oregano, black pepper, & bay leaves the recipe calls for?
Soo true!
That would be my husband!!😂😂😂
A marinara-thon ! 😂 great job Josh helping out in the kitchen again!
Hahhahahaha such a great video title I wish she have used it 😂😂😂
My favorite method for sun dried tomatoes is to dehydrate halved cherry tomatoes and 75% dry so they stay pliable and chewable, not hard and crispy, then freeze them in a freezer bag. So easy and quick!
I don't even cut my tomatoes in half... just cut the top of the romas and put them cut side down... broil for 5 to 10 min in oven and slip the skins right of... I also pick them from the oven sheets so all the tomato water which I don't use stays on the plate... then I don't have to cook the sauce down that much... saves so much time ❤❤❤
Bless Josh's heart for stepping in to help get through it easier!
Well it is there job isn’t he her employee it works out really well for those husbands who leave there job to do wife’s TH-cam just look at Jammy steward
One lucky girl to have three ovens to do your different kinds of tomatoes 🍅
you can also use portable roasting pans as well to offset that.
Lucky to have one but I done canning for 70 better years love to do and then stand and look proud the hood rain sun that God has provided love God is hood all the time Amen
Becky has propane oven and stove top and regular gas, I think. That way, when the power goes out, they're safe.
So true! Imagine trying to do it all with one oven! It would literally take days!
I had this moment of watching folks work with their blackstone process the onions and tomatoes????
I look at you wide open doing things. I used to make decorated sugar cookies. Sometimes I did 75 or more at a time. All of a sudden I developed lupus and that has changed my life. I have praying for a miracle that I can start my cookies again. I can watch you work really hard and cheer and pray you along hopefully for a lot of years. I guess I am saying I am living my life through you😀❤
Who else lives for Becky's tomato processing day each year? I would have weighed and washed all the tomatoes and onions the day before - three steps done and out of the way before the real work begins. Also don't be afraid of asking folks for help!! You give away so much food to other friends and family members, let them be some labors in return. You don't have to do it all yourself, even though we know you enjoy it.
Becky I hope u didn't throw out ur burnt pan plz pour boiling water with dawn soap let it cool all the way than scrub I do it all the time that's we do in all the bakery's I have worked for 37 yrs. Love u n JOSH U ARE AN AWESOME TEAM LOVE THE RESPECT U GUYS GIVE EA. OTHER
I used to can tomatoes years ago when my health was much better. I’m 60 now and miss doing it. Sooo much work, but loved it. You are a great wife, mother, cook and farmer. ❤😘
I have the same kitchen scale as you and I noticed you struggling to get to the front panel under the sheet tray. Just in case you didn’t know, the front panel of this scale actually pulls out so you can always see it and press the buttons no matter what size bowl you have on it!
I adore how kind you and Josh are to one another. Everything is "would you be willing?" and "please?" and "could you?" It's part of what makes both of you so endearing!
My husband and I are the same way and we always tell each other "thank you". I've seen couples that are just downright rude to each other and have no idea how they stay married for so long.
@@ShinyFeral Respect for each other...too bad all marriages arent like this.
Only eight hours old and you have over 70,000 views! That's how much we love you Becky and Josh! Thank you for being you. You are so kind to Josh when asking him for help and always, with a smile. We all can learn from you and your entire family. You all are so respectful, so loving, and so kind. I couldn't even imagine living in a home like this but I sure do love to watch your videos!
Why can't you imagine it ?
@@E.Cerulean Maybe her home life isn't very good and it's hard to imagine what living in a happy, peaceful environment is like??? We all come from different walks of life, some good and others not so good.. Have a blessed day!
@@seventhdayissabbath8747 Yes that's what I thought, I just wanted her to open up (if she is comfortable doing it). May Allah make things easy for her and grant her a happy home life.
I love how you & Josh communicate. You ask, give suggestions & coordinate well together. Most importantly you thank him. This is SO VERY IMPORTANT for any successful marriage. Being able to have clear communication, ask & don’t demand or tell. Compliment each other & always thank the other for their help. Looking back at my marriage over a 24 year period we did NOT have or do this. I think if we had it would have encouraged us to be there & supportive of each other. Couple either grow together over the years or go apart. It doesn’t happen overnight & you really don’t even notice it until it’s too late. You can always accomplish & conquer more as a team. Great job to you both!!
I was thinking the same thing. From their conversations they seem to respect each other. I really enjoy when Josh is on just so I can see them interact.
All from tiny seeds that you planted! My harvest was only a tenth of yours but I'm proud of my freezer packs of pasta sauce and tomato soup that I will enjoy all winter. Thanks for inspiring me Becky ❤️
The cookie sheet that was burnt can be saved if you put it in the oven and set the oven to a self cleaning cycle. It will turn the burnt part to ash and then you can wash it off. Cookie sheet will be like new.
Great tip!
Another tip water, dish soap,vinegar, baking soda - let it soak.
Dawn powerwash works great also
the pink stuff works great too
I thought it would be a great help to you in the grow room.
Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦! Never fear when Josh is near, he has your back! What a blessed partnership, God is do good! So much love and respect for each other, ❤❤❤
All you need is a commercial kitchen, a football field and a year’s worth of jars. You go grrl! Work it. Woo. 🍅🔪🔥 🌸
One thing I learned about any owner's manuals you get with any equipment....there are always instructions in English, French, and Spanish.....use the blue painters tape, tape off all of the different languages that you don't need leaving only the instructions you use. It keeps the manual neat and the painter's tape can be removed easily if there is ever the need. I bought some outdoor power equipment from someone moving out of state. He had every manual taped that way, put into a protective sleeve and hung in his garage. I never saw someone so organized, but I have been taping manuals like this ever since.
When I roast my tomatoes, I use mini tongs to take the skins off. If they are little stuck on the tomato I use the tongs in one hand and a fork in the other and zip right through without burning fingers 😊
Loved this video, thank you. I canned 6 quarts of tomato sauce this year. Small yard/small family…i was so proud❤
Wow! A lot. Good job. 😊
My daddy used to get culls from a farmer for me to can. I miss those days. Culls are the imperfect ones here in NOLA. They were creoles which are my favorites. I wish you could taste them. ❤❤
I use a handheld suitcase scale and baskets to weigh my toms. All af my baskets have their empty weight marked on the bottom. Works for potato/apple harvest too.
Great idea!! 🇦🇺🎶🐸
Amazing idea
After watching you last year, I was intrigued by the idea of canning the juice from the tomatoes. I canned 6 pints of plain liquid in addition to my sauce. I have 1 left. I used it to cook rice for tacos and enciladas. It was delicious!
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes!! Cup of coffee in hand and a 1hr video with lovely Becky!! I've been waiting soooo long for this!! Xx
I don't know how you do it... In a span of 5 days I processed about 260 pounds of tomatoes (I have the same electric mill) and my feet hurt, my back was killing me and I was so overwhelmed... I really admire your attitude when you're dealing with big projects... I'm following your example of having a game plan and tackling the project as efficiently as I can. You've been an inspiration, thank you! ❤
What you're doing is astronomical! I would be sore after day one! Keep it up :)
@@sophj8896 aww that's so sweet! Thank you!
Time management skills is an awesome talent. Necessary skills for a excellent canning day. Nice job gf! Helpful hubby is a blessing! My hubby likes to help can. I'm very thankful for him.
TIPPY TAPPIES!!!!!!! I love when the dogs bomb the video :)
As a chef and a food safety instructor I really appreciate that you take the time to talk about safe canning practices. The way you explained the difference between cooking and canning being a science was perfect.
Speaking of goiing down a wormhole and learning about our food sources. Thank God RFK Jr might have an impact on our future in that way! So thankful and hopeful.
I absolutely agree about having appliances working for me. I do my roasted marinara exactly like you did, always having the oven going while I'm doing something else. I also try to wash my tomatoes as I bring them in so that I can skip that step on processing day.
Wow Becky, what a long day. I've done that many times over my 42 years of marriage. One weekend I canned 500 jars of green beans. I didn't think I would ever get finished. The sauce looks so good. I think next year I am going to try your method. Blessings to you and your loved ones, from Kentucky.
Becky, I deem you an honorary process engineer. What you did was define the bottleneck in the roasted marinara process and you adjusted what you were doing to optimize the process. Was there time lost in switching between tasks? yeah, maybe. Was that time more than the time lost by not having tomatoes in the oven.... probably not :)
You can use the tomato corer to hull strawberries also!❤
I have several bushels to be processed this weekend, so great timing!!
I would like to thank you for being my comfort channel when I have to study for tests in graduate school. Your videos remind me of the goals I am working for with getting this degree.
Thanks for all you do!
Well here we go. I’ve been waiting for this.
I think the setup was perfect.
Good job to you and your lovely assistant 😂
Becky. I do it the same way as you! I feel the same about having everything working for you…. Like the ovens. What a blessing having a husband like Josh! What a great helper! It’s so sweet!! 😊Roasting the tomatoes definitely makes a better sauce. Thanks for allowing us in your kitchen. Many blessings!! ❤️
I would have done one thing at a time because that’s how my brain functions, but I wish I could multitask and keep things in process for time sake. You did so fantastic!! I’m so impressed.
I'm a city girl, and I'm definitely the wrong target market for this video. But I surprised myself and ended up watching the whole thing! There's something about you and your home that makes me happy ❤
Yeah! My favorite day has arrived. I’m living vicariously through you since my tomatoes didn’t do well this year. 😊
Becky - - you asked the question about how you used your time and I think you did it perfectly. You’re thinking about having your appliances working for you while you’re doing other things is spot on. I am an older woman who has canned all my life and you are doing so well.
How wonderful Be my u have such a good helper in the kitchen. U both work so hard. Bless u and u family.❤️🙏
Hi Becky
I'm a 23 yo girl from Mauritius and canning is not common at all here. I've been watching you for many years now and yesterday I tried canning whole peeled tomatoes for the very first time. Can't wait to use it up. Thank you for giving me the confidence and knowledge to do this!
I love watching you put up all your produce from your garden.
Well done Becky and Josh! What a project you undertook and seeing the teamwork was so heartening. You are not scared of hard work and I commend you yet again for your efforts. You let us know when you feel overwhelmed and that is very open of you. Your personality is so honest and your vulnerability makes me appreciate you even more. Keep on being you 🙏🏼😘
@acrehomestead , Becky, I’ve been watching you for years. I can completely understand being overwhelmed with any harvest and putting it out in front of the world makes it even more overwhelming. You’re doing amazing. Your journey is wonderful and inspirational. Please don’t forget that. ❤
I love how kindly you and josh speak to each other: "would you be willing...". So cute. Lovely watching you both working together to make your family's food for the the next 12 months.
Hi Becky, I just love watching your videos. I noticed you use Santa Cruz lemon juice for canning. I didn’t see any acidic count on the jars I bought and didn’t know if they were 5% and safe for canning. I decided to contact them and they told me they don’t check the levels of acidity of their lemon juice. I just thought you may want to know in case you didn’t. Please let me know if you know something I don’t. Thanks so much for all your great videos and entertainment. 😊
Holy smokes, 85 pounds of tomatoes!! And that isn't even all of the harvest.
You sure are a trooper. And that your husband came to help. He is definitely a keeper.
Josh is such a great helper!! Her organization of days like this is life goals for me.
It’s always nice to have a helper in the kitchen, especially your husband. Thank him for us.😊
I think your back & forth method to wash, cut, roast, etc. for this project was the most efficient, Becky. Well done.
🎉🎉🎉🎉been looking for your upload since morning... I'm so glad😊😊😊 let me make coffee!!!! I feel like a kid in for a treat
Long day 10 hours and that was with help, no help would have been easy 12 hours! Good to see Josh in action again! Blessings!
Awesome,I know you were exhausted.Always nice to have help.❤👍
You could split in 2 days. Roast and mill. Next day finish it all. My back would kill me after all that. Great inspiration. Thank you and Bravo. ❤
I'm the person who sent you the red canning ladle, so I was hoping that you'd use it today. I hope that you find it. I keep mine with my canning supplies so I know where it is. I've got 2 because I couldn't find one for the longest time.
It’s a great gadget. How kind of you. I have a 1950’s apple corer that has the same type of teeth edge. It works great for coring tomatoes but the handle is a little too long so I hold the metal tube for angling. Sometimes use a grapefruit spoon for really large toms.
Aw Thanks so much! I have used it so many time and it works so well! Sorry I couldn't find it on this day!
I love those ladles!
I look forward to your tomato preservation video every year! It reminds me of canning tomatoes with my mom, grandma, and aunts every summer as a kid, it brings back good memories! ☺️
What beautiful memories you must have ☺️
Miss Becky, you're gonna love this...I'm always excited to see your new video notifications pop up. So when I saw this one I could have sworn it said *a massive tornado processing* so don't ask me why I thought you were prepping ahead for a tornado 🤦♀️ I'm the one in Texas, not you! LOL 😂
Wow! That was a lot of work! Well worth it, so nice for Josh to come help as well! Don’t throw away your cookie sheet, it can easily be scrubbed back to normal with a steel wool pad. I love your dedication and commitment to your home and family! 🤗
I love seeing you and josh working together in the kitchen,So sweet
I think you can save your cookie sheet by soaking it with baking soda and water. It may take a few tries, but should be worth the effort. Love the roasted tomato recipe!
Add some cleaning grade white vinegar to your baking soda.
I’ve also had good results from an overnight Oxiclean soak.
Becky I drain most of my tomato “broth” off before I run them through a food mill to reduce the liquid so I don’t have to cook them down so much. Then I freeze that broth and use in soups and when I make rice in replacement of water. This adds a huge amount of flavor in those dishes that would otherwise call for water.
Becky I think your ethos of doing all of what you did was a perfect way. I love that Josh came in to help. It’s beautiful sauce!
Oh my gosh! I go through the same feeling when I make something really good then make it again. I'm so nervous it won't be as good. Your mom is awesome ❤
Wowzer Becky. Awesomeness on two feet! I actually watched you canning marinara sauce last year. I was so intrigued that I went to a local farmer this year and purchased twenty pounds of Amish tomatoes since my pitiful garden did not produce. Wow it really is perfectly delicious! Now you have encouraged me to go bigger! Planning 2025 garden and purchased lots of Hoss seeds. Can’t wait! Thank you so much for sharing!
Add lots mushroom compost to your garden. I did it last year & couldn’t keep up with the harvest. This year I was in so much pain all I could do was plant a few plants & I didn’t get 1 tomato. Next year if I can’t do it myself I will hire a high school kid to get & put the mushroom compost on for me. It’s definitely worth the cost.
@@julieagain thank you, I will definitely do that…
Hi Becky, last week I processed a lot of tomatoes and aubergines and peaches gifted by my uncle, and you were with me all the time! Thank you❤
What a hardworking person you are. Thank you Josh for assisting Becky.
She may be the hardest working person on TH-cam!!
Who’s watching the child isn’t he the manny?
@@barbaramiller9660 Have you ever heard “If you have nothing nice to say DON’T say it at all!
You are a very rude person.
Awesome Josh came and helped you out. We are all watching you vicariously making your marinara
Hi Becky and Josh, I've been canning for almost 50 years. So I've put my time in canning tomatoes. I'm disabled now so I'm glad I get to hang with yall,while you can. Bravo to you kids. You're doing a great job. Yes I used to let my appliances worked for me while I canned. Anyway great job!!!
Your a genius when it comes to utilizing your time , re oven trays etc.😊
I love when josh helps you out!! My hubby is always willing to help me when I'm in the kitchen! I did a big apple processing day and he helped me :)
I made this recipe for the first time this year. While making it my husband tasted it and said boy that would make some good tomato soup. So I didnt cook mine down as far as I would have for pasta sauce. When using it for sauce I will thicken it then IF need to. Thank you so very much for all the great information you share with all of us. You have such a loving family.
Absolutely blown away once again at your food presentation skills🎉
Your garden has been the best one I have seen from people I "know"! What a fabulous harvest! Great job of growing and preserving food for your family!
When you find things you absolutely love it is worth every bit of effort to make them. Love your videos and how hard you work for your family.💞
Absolutely awesome video, I learned so much from you today Becky. What a great help Josh was today, you are blessed to have such a caring husband. Thank you so much for all your videos. 😊
Hearing you giving specific directions to your husband on where to find the food mill makes me chuckle. Same here: say the room, shelf, characteristics, color... lol. Becky, you are an inspiration and such a hard worker. I love your dedication. Like you, I love to spend a huge amount of time in the kitchen. Thank you for your videos, I'm learning so much from you.
What a wonderful, productive day in your kitchen canning tomatoes!!!!!!!!! Good job, Becky and Josh. Until next time……
Hi! My friend is an efficiency expert (IKR?) and suggested this time saver. And it does!! When using your knife, do all the knife work first. ie: onions, cut all your ends and in half first. Then peel and wash. Then do all the chopping without putting the knife down. Surprising how much faster the process goes! I have become very motivated, because of you! Thank You!!!
Great advice! 👏🏽🤓
Becky, you inspired me to give home made canned marinara a try. I bought 25 lbs of Romas from a local farmer and it took me all day. I got 10 pints and 1 quart. It is delicious, although it didn’t thicken up as much as I would have liked. I guess I should have cooked it longer.
Canning is definitely a labor of love and I'm here for it. Like you, it brings me great joy. I'm the only one who likes tomatoes in my household, so I do a larger variety of different sauces.
I did this recipe last weekend, a double recipe, and I washed, cut and baked my 1 oven full then got cookie sheets ready while those were cooking then when I had all the cookies sheets ready I started milling the tomatoes. I think it worked great that way. I did not core since I was milling and the attachment I use on the KitchenAid and it takes them out. We love this sauce. I have 10 quarts and plan to make more as I get enough tomatoes.
I have garlic pucks in my freezer , thanks to your channel. Thank you. And I agree with u , I need to invite my friends to a garlic peeling party.
You are blessed your husband was a big help Thanks Josh Love watching a real man step up ,💕🌼
I would have done things the same as you. It is a skill to be able to juggle everything and keep your appliances working for you. You did a great job
Great job! Someone has probably stated this already but if you use a soapy SOS pad on your cookie sheets they would look like new and the burnt tomatoes would need a little elbow grease with the SOS pad but it is salvageable.
Thanks for taking is on your journey. 😊
I love your kitchen, such a Blessing for big projects.
I’d love a complete homestead tour including meeting the chickens and the cute doggo that keeps hanging out in the background of your videos. This was a massive load of work Becky I really hope your proud of yourself for your accomplishments in that love from the uk xx
I think you did the tomato processing in just the right order. Made total sense to me❤
I love that Josh is helping. Time goes by so much faster when you have someone to talk to while working. Plus you guys make a great team!
I love when Josh can help!❤
I love these long videos. I also love it when Josh joins in the fun. Fun to watch you guys work together to accomplish awesome stuff for your home. ❤
I think you took the best approach to use the machines to the max and you managed it very well.
It truly touches my heart when Josh jumps in to help you!❤❤❤ I love watching you cook and do canning. It’s fun and relaxing to watch.❤❤❤
Becky n Josh love to see you both together you remind me of my mother n father working on our harvest.Yes it's a lot of work but in the winter your so thankful for all the Lord blessed you with. My mother made to tomatoes n pepper jam so good with meat. Love ur family n you Be my, God bless you n fsmily
