A secret from my grandmother who was 100 percent Italian. She used fresh carrots in her sauce instead of sugar. They produce so much sweetness and you don’t have to use sugar. ❤️ Great video!
@@cathy3951No Italian Grandma, but I have seen some peel and plop the whole carrots in. And others' mince the carrots and leave them in their final product. I believe that that way would require pressure canning. Plenty of Italian Grandma's recipes on the tube.
If you are concerned about the sugar content in these recipes, you are very welcome to cut the sugar back to your personal taste! I have people asking me, “Do you have recipes for barbecue sauce and ketchup that are actually good?” The people that ask the question in this way are most likely wanting sauce recipes that taste as close to store-bought as possible😉 So I created these recipes with deep, rich, full flavors… which requires sugar. If you are one of those folks who would rather have a low sugar sauce, feel free to adjust the sugar accordingly. It will not harm the recipes at all! Also, sorry if you were expecting full out canning instructions (canning times, etc.). It's so controversial, and we knew we'd get a lot of haters for not doing things EXACTLY how the USDA says to (we'll probably still get haters for what we said anyway). So, last minute we decided not to mention canning times in the video. The times that Michelle does are listed in the Recipe Ebook though. Thank you for understanding, and good luck with your canning journey 😊
You will always get haters. Even the Amish get haters. I love water bath canning. It's how my mom did it how her mom did it. Now I'm doing it. Keep canning. Love your videos. And I would've loved to know how much time for water bath. Thank you
I cook the same way. I can the same way. I do follow salsa percentages of vinegar just in case. Actually I blend my skin and seeds up too. Love your video
I wonder if I can make these sauces using canned tomato products (minced, pulped, quartered, etc.). My husband bought insane amount of canned tomatoes during covid lockdown, and I'm afraid they're going to eat through the cans and leak all over, and I don't want to waste them either.
You do it the way you feel comfortable ignore everyone else who think they know best. They really get on my nerves you seem to be doing alright to me good luck to you both
If you peel your tomatoes when canning, save them. Dry and powder them. Instead of tomato paste, take a couple of tablespoons of powder, add water and let sit until it thickens. Add it to your recipe.
These were ALL delicious! I am a total ketchup snob (Heinz), but yours is amazingly good. The BBQ sauce is off the charts. I don’t have one of those mills (it’s on my wishlist for Christmas), but found you can also use your “applesauce maker” from the recent video to do this. I take a fine strainer over the sauce bowl similarly to what you did here and it collects the excess liquid which can be canned for tomato juice use in soups. Then dehydrate the discard and pulverize to make tomato powder. No waste. The tomato sauce ended up so easily reduced and tasted like fresh tomato passata.
Love this video! No need to waste the tomato water either. The way you do your tomatoes gives you a whole new value added product! I can up that tomato water and use it in soups or to make rice. Getting ready to add some to a batch of vegetable beef soup tomorrow. :)
Do you add lemon juice to acidify it or do you pressure can the tomato water? And for how long do you process it? I was wondering what. Outdoor be done with it so Thank You!😊
One year I had a bumper crop of peaches. After so many jars of jams and cut peaches, I tried peach bar BQ sauce and peach salsa. I just added peaches to my favorite recipes. They were delicious.
I just planted apple trees all along our garden, and edge of property. I'm hoping that we get a bunch of apples in a few years, but peaches would be nice, too!
Thank you for the tomatoe sauce, BBQ recipes! I was hoping someday you would cover this subject. Codi and Michelle, you make a good team. My husband and I look forward to your youtube videos when they come out. We have our son and daughter-in-law with 6 children watching you now. They just got a homestead this January. They need fellow homesteaders to help them through. God bless your family
I just recently found this channel and I’m truly enjoying watching. I been viewing some old videos to get more familiar with your family and farm. You guys work so hard! I’m so happy I found this channel ❤
Love the frozen tomato shortcut! I’ll try that in July! Last year I made roasted spaghetti sauce from watching another you tuber ( living traditions homestead)-and Sarah was roasting her tomatoes to can but I took it a step further and roasted everything that I would typically use in my sauce; tomatoes , peppers, onions, garlic, all the seasonings, and a little olive oil… I’d sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over the whole roasting pan and when they cooked down in about 90 minutes, I used a slotted spoon to lift out the roasted vegetables. I put them right in my Vitamix, like Sarah was doing in her video. You can put hot liquids in a Vitamix. Because I used the slotted spoon, I left behind all the watery tomato juice that you were showing came out of your frozen ones. I would cook everything lightly depending on if it needed to thicken and like you, I would toss in a can of tomato paste if needed before I processed . Sooooooo delicious! Summer in a jar!!
I make my smokey tomato flavored sauces by smoking some of my tomatoes. I then process those as it's own 'sauce' and then can add it to my enchilada sauce, BBQ sauce & chili. Super easy and no fake smoke stuff. It's even easier when the hubby is in charge of smoking. Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington, Michigan, USA
I love this idea! I smoke salt in the smoker whenever my husband is smoking something and then I have “ smoke “. I will try this. It makes sense, it’s like charring peppers.
00:02 your tomatoes look so yummy. I just harvested the second batch off my very first ever tomato plant today, and I´m a changed woman ❤ Thanks for the motivation your videos provide, they are part of what got me to this point 🍅🍅🍅
Consider canning your “tomato water” separately. It’s great for adding flavor to soups, rice, pasta sauces without being a full-on tomato base. Like a tomato broth, basically. I pressure can it.
This is probably the best tomato processing technique I've ever seen. It's really simple and even yields a tasty byproduct. Fantastic video!! If only all food vids were as informative. Wonderful content.
Love your video! I'm 66 yrs & have been canning for a while, I love tomato canning season. I just recently learned that instead of using tomato paste for thickening, to use apples. You just core them, give a rough chop, skin on & run it through your blender to puree. It worked beautifully as a thickener & I could cut back on sugar since the apple also added sweetness. Also, I added Worcestershire sauce for depth in taste, another new trick that I added to ALL my tomato canning recipes this year. So much good taste & fun times!
This video is exactly what I needed! I like doing smaller batches of canning so being able to do a few jars of each of these and water bath them together is perfect for just me and my husband! Thank you so much!
Great video and thank y’all for sharing these recipes! After watching your beef tallow video and now this one, I am more inspired to make more things homemade and not buy from the store.. God bless the work y’all are doing 🙏- Tim
Excellent and fun...these are recipes that you will use all the time...Michelle has a lovely sense of humor and your editing is spot on...enjoy the rest of your Summer. 🏚🌻💚🌱🌞🍊
I’ve just started watching but you both have a real natural way around the camera and are good teachers as well. Great videos and thanks for doing these for those of us who are kindred spirits or just want to learn new skills. Don’t let any bummer types bother you at all. Some people just constantly want to be grumpy be know-it-alls. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you for this video and the recipies. It was really helpful to see the small batches as its only the two of us now. Your family and farm are beautuful.
I use the fresh carrots as sweetner/another earthly flavor also. Especially in tomato sauces. The possibilities are endless once u start. With all the different colors of carrots. Plus the added depth of flavor. I also use beets in the same way. I Especially like golden beets. My wife loves Habanera hot sauce. I ferment them with carrots, gold beet, onion, garlic, turmeric, cumin and salt. I put it all in a vacuum seal with a 3% ( by grams)salt. The salt will pull out the water in vegetables and make is own liquid brine. I just love using root veggies not only for the sweetness but the added depth of earthly flavors is so fun to play with and you will find your self needing to add less and less suger
Ive just been watching a few of your videos, think you popped up because i watch a lot of homestead videos and small garden growing vegetables. Wow you both have achieved so much in such a short time. When we thicken up sauce we make a roux just flour and whatever liquid u use or water. And if the sauce gets lumpy just take it of the heat no more lumps😊
Just started the video!!!!! Thank you as always. Keep up the good work and if you ever get negative people ignore it, what you both are doing is wonderful and a blessing you have been able to take care of each other and the rest of your family. God Bless you both and family
Thank you for the great video and the chuckles too and the ebook of recipes. You are both wonderful folks for sharing so much helpful information. My best to you and your family. 🦋
Thank you for sharing your recipes! I'm excited to try them. And loved learning that I can freeze tomatoes and then just drain off the water since tomatoes do not all ripen at the same time. Also, I love when you laughed at yourself. Its refreshing! Keep up the good work guys!
15:06 if you want you tomatoes 🍅 to be natural SWEET and maybe use 1 cup only if sugar, add backing soda around circle ⭕️ the dirt where tomatoes 🍅 are planted. Not to closed to your roots. As the rain comes in. The backing soda will slowly go down the dirt and the tomatoes roots ( other roots) will absorb it. Making your tomatoes 🍅 sweet when picked.
Thank you so much for sharing your recipes! We eat a LOT of tomato products and my homesteading goal this year is to can all of our own bbq, salsa, diced tomatoes and sauce. Exciting but it will be a lot of work.
I just found your channel and have been binge watching a bunch of videos! You guys make this look doable and I like hearing all of your tips. Your editing and personalities also make the videos enjoyable to watch 😊 Thank you for the recipes! Would love to see more recipe and homeschooling content as well (like your pizza recipe!) I really like your content because it’s not just homesteading but also about a way of life with family
Thank you for taking the time share all that. I hope we continue to inspire you 😊 And thank you for mentioning the editing.. I (Codi) spend a lot of time on that, and it's nice to know it doesn't go unnoticed 😊
YAY!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness, I haven't even watched yet and I am soooo excited!! Thank you so very, very much for sharing your recipes. I cannot wait to make every one of these. You are the best!!!❤
@More Than Farmers would you be so kind as to respond with a link for the plastic jars at the beginning of the video? Or let me know where you bought them. I hab0ve 2 from a decade ago amd have no clue where I got them
Very good video. Thank you for all ypur efforts and shaing how to end up with a good product. Most cooks and adjust recipes to make to their liking. Youve giving us a great start. Again thanks!
Thank you for this!!! I can not wait to try ALL these recipes one day. Love how u always have great tips for making things easier too. Both of u. Love this channel.
Thank you so much. I am new and love how calm you are. I am so nervous on any canning. I Made Peach Jam as a try and though taste great so running. I will continue to get tips. May God and Jesus Christ Bless you and your Family.
Such an amazing video! Thank you for sharing. Michelle, your tips and instructions (including your disclaimer that this is how YOU do it) is so genuine...I could (and sometimes do) watch your content on repeat! Also, great editing Cody... your creativity is evident and your "please wait" msgs always make me laugh 😊
That’s so great. We really try to be relatable, so that’s good to hear. And thank you from me, Codi, for mentioning the editing. I put a lot of time, heart, and soul into that 😊
Michelle, can you please 1. Tell us where you purchased the pizza skillet and 2. Maybe consider teaching us how you make pizza? (Or point the way to a reliable resource?) Thank you again!
Hi! Here’s the skillet: www.amazon.com/dp/B00008GKDN/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_2ZJB71ZSQSJYF2SJ9JE6?linkCode=ml2&tag=morethanfarme-20 And I bet we can get that pizza in a video sometime 😊
Thank you for the beautiful recipes! I am a new subscriber to your channel and I just LOVE how honest and humble and sincere you guys are! I feel overwhelmed pretty quickly, but watching this channel has given me hope that I too will be a homesteader in the future. I especially appreciated the playlist to boost new and aspiring homesteaders ❤. Thank you for the great advice always!
Hey guys my husband and I live in Australia and we have just found your channel. We have been binge watching your videos every night and love the way in which you share and teach from experience. We have just purchased our property and are getting ready to start preserving our foods I’ve found this video so helpful. One question when cooking up batches of sauces etc what size stock pot would you recommend? Does the quality of the pot make a big difference? Thanks so much for sharing all you do. Bless you guys
So excited to have you in our community! As for a stock pot to make sauces, I would definitely recommend using stainless steel because it will help you get around so many toxins in other cookware. I have a 3 gallon stock pot that is my all-time favorite.
Thank you for the smart ideas 💡 and great recipes. Your idea of pouring off the tomato juice was brilliant. I’ve been wanting to try to can beans with the tomato juice since I thought of the idea last winter. So now I’m pressure canning the bean in tomato juice and water bathing the purée tomatoes! :) keep up the great videos because your helping many folks!! ❤
Thanks for the video, you gave me ideas for all the tomatoes rolling in. I tried getting the ebook but so far I haven't received it , not in spam either. I'll keep watching for it. Thanks again.
I do the same thing. I pick my tomatoes just prior to full ripen. That way more tomatoes have the energy the rip ones took. The best blender is a Vitamix. It blends skin and seeds. Great content!!!!! You are absolutely adorable!!! Don't worry.....I'm a grandma. Not hitting on you. Lol
You may want to try an immersion blender instead of the blender. It lets you blend right in the pot. I find it very handy. Just found your videos and am enjoying them tremendously! Learning a few tips too. Thank you
I’m so excited to hear about that liquid smoke! I didn’t want to use any because of the other ingredients so thanks for sharing that one! Now if only my tomatoes would ripen haha!
I love your channel! We don't have a farm, but I am very much into preserving healthy food. I am a grandmother of 5 children and love them dearly. So, I am saying this with love....please protect your family. This world, unfortunately has evil people. I live in Fairborn, Ohio (formerly lived in Columbus) so I am confident I have figured out the town in which you live. (You also inadvertently disclosed it). Not saying how.....Much love and keep up the good work!!
Thank you for that 😊 We definitely think about it and we talk to other TH-camrs about it. There's pretty much no way to stay hidden once we're in the public. Everything is only a few Google searches away these days. We have things in place though. Thank you for your concern!
Can I come live with you!!!??? 😍😍 these look seriously amazing! I don’t know when I’m gonna find the time to make all of this but I want it all!!!! Awesome job!!! 👏👏👏
You could save the skins dehydrate and then powder them. Use for extra nutrition in sauce, make instant tomato soups, or make paste with a little water or juice in use In place of tomato paste or even just add back into your sauce. Also you could boil/condense down the juice you initially drained off from the freezing and nonsense down to a little thicker version and add some seasoning and/or veggie juice or powder for a nice juice. You could also just use that liquid in place of veggie broth for soups, stewsand any recipe that calls for broth for a little extra flavour. You could can it to keep it for later too. I also do this with corn cobs after I removed the kernels to make a nice corn broth I use in other meals.
Michelle, thank you for sharing all your tips on canning. I've never yet done salsa...with the onions and spices must this be pressure canned? I'm 66 yrs. old and have always gardened and canned but only started pressure canning in 2020 during the lock down. I'm trying to use used items to build pantry shelving . My husband helped me re-purpose an old dresser which has three shelves and one drawer on the bottom for canning lids etc.. But the amount of food stuffs I've done require more space. If Cody could show or has done a video on building your pantry shelves that would be a nice bit of info to share. I really love watching you two and all your progress. God bless!
Omg I love watching all your videos, I wish I could do more to grow and eat more healthier but appreciate you guys sharing. On one of your videos Michelle mention she doesn’t by cleaning supplies. I would appreciate a video of her ideas if cleaning supplies, disinfectants, and even what you guys use to wash? Thank you 🙏🏻
I was hust looking for a good bbq sauce recipe! I love your videos. Have you ever tried charring your tomatoes on the grill? This lets the water separate also and gives out of this world flavor. Once they're charred you can pour the water off, run them through the processor and then through the seive. Gets the seeds and skins out and leaves fantastic flavor behind.
Ooh, I love to grow fennel. It doesn't take a lot to get enough seed and the bulbs are delicious in stock/bone broth. It's easier than onions from seed and worth it. The whole thing dehydrates well
Hi Michelle, I'm watching from Sydney Australia and just found your channel. These recipes look fantastic. I'll have to give them ago next summer. Cheers
I’m allergic to corn wheat sugar and seed oils and many additives so I’m so excited to find your recipes. I’m also growing in containers because of living in a neighborhood hoa and limited space. Raised beds and fabric bags are working well and inexpensive compared to organic produce
I think i laughed way too much watching this than i should have. those genuine awkward moments was hilarious ! keep up! i'm literally binge watching your video's.
Thank you so much for the downloadable recipes. I’m in New Zealand, so I’ll have to remember to refer to it when Autumn comes around. Better plant more tomato seeds then if I’m going to make that much sauce!
I bet they taste incredible! I'm not a fan of most barbecue sauces because they are "too" barbecuey....I like a nice smoky sauce that isn't overly sweet, or spicy. I might try your recipe with some tomatoes that I have frozen! I'm really enjoying your channel, I love how you guys keep it real!
Well Michelle….you did it again!!!! BOOM!!!!😂can’t wait to try those recipes…looked delicious! Cody, sorry to hear your fishing trip wasn’t so great. But thanks for getting your girl that food processor to make all those great recipes!!!!😊
Michelle, don't throw away the tomato juice! We add pineapple juice, salt, fresh lemon juice, and jalapenos (fresh and to taste) run through blender. Great and healthy drink. We can't keep enough.
A secret from my grandmother who was 100 percent Italian. She used fresh carrots in her sauce instead of sugar. They produce so much sweetness and you don’t have to use sugar. ❤️ Great video!
How did she prepare the carrots for this?

That's super interesting.. we'll have to try that. Thanks!
I used to do this, chop the carrots in a food processor really small...it worked! I'm not Italian tho...lol @@morethanfarmers
The tomatoe water can become a white tomatoe soup. I just recently tried it and it's amazing!
Btw, I am also a no recipe gal. 😅
If you are concerned about the sugar content in these recipes, you are very welcome to cut the sugar back to your personal taste! I have people asking me, “Do you have recipes for barbecue sauce and ketchup that are actually good?”

Never apologize for following safe food guidelines. Your families health comes first.

If you peel your tomatoes when canning, save them. Dry and powder them. Instead of tomato paste, take a couple of tablespoons of powder, add water and let sit until it thickens. Add it to your recipe.
Thats what we do too such a great way to use waste up
We may have to try that. Thanks!
Great idea!
We do this too. It actually adds a really great flavor too.
Awesome idea .
This video is absolute gold for those of us who are trying to learn. Thank you so much, guys. ❤
You're so welcome, Samantha.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy.
Thank you so much for you guys being transparent about your life and your struggles!!!
When I make tomato sauce and salsa, the additional juice I put aside and make tomato soup and add additional spices if needed. I do not waterbath it.
What a great idea.
Please, please do an entire video on canning. I really want to learn how to do this and feel comfortable doing it.
We'll keep it in mind! Our best advice is to find a local experienced canner. If you don't have any friends that can, try a farmers market 😊
My fennel went to seed. Every time I walk past it, it smells heavenly. Thank you for sharing your recipes. Appreciate it.
My pleasure 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your recipes! We eat a LOT of tomato products and my homesteading goal this year is to can all of our own bbq, salsa, diced tomatoes and sauce. Exciting but it will be a lot of work.
Assume! Good luck!
Trena from Florida here. I just love your channel and definitely going to make your sauces. Thank you so much!
Fabulous. Such a well produced and informative video. I share your passions.
Thanks Michelle! Use the back of the knife to drag the onions or what ever it is so you don't ruin the blade! 🤗💕🤗 Great video, blessings 💕
❤
Thank you 😊
I just found your channel and have been binge watching a bunch of videos! You guys make this look doable and I like hearing all of your tips. Your editing and personalities also make the videos enjoyable to watch 😊 Thank you for the recipes! Would love to see more recipe and homeschooling content as well (like your pizza recipe!) I really like your content because it’s not just homesteading but also about a way of life with family
Thank you for taking the time share all that. I hope we continue to inspire you 😊 And thank you for mentioning the editing.. I (Codi) spend a lot of time on that, and it's nice to know it doesn't go unnoticed 😊
You’re very welcome! Thank you for the content
I need a full Michelle Cook Book 😢❤
Yes... same comment... add carrots which add sweetness and pull out bitterness. You can add them whole and remove when sauce is cooked down.
Thank YOU for emailing the recipes! You’ve made them beautiful to print out too! ❤
Michelle, I can the tomato "water" and use it in soups, stews, or to flavor rice.
YAY!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness, I haven't even watched yet and I am soooo excited!! Thank you so very, very much for sharing your recipes. I cannot wait to make every one of these. You are the best!!!❤
😁 I hope you enjoyed! And I hope you enjoy the sauces 😊
@More Than Farmers would you be so kind as to respond with a link for the plastic jars at the beginning of the video? Or let me know where you bought them. I hab0ve 2 from a decade ago amd have no clue where I got them
We get them from Uline. www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-15711/Jars/Plastic-Grip-Jars-1-Gallon
Very good video. Thank you for all ypur efforts and shaing how to end up with a good product. Most cooks and adjust recipes to make to their liking. Youve giving us a great start. Again thanks!
Our pleasure!
Thank you for this!!! I can not wait to try ALL these recipes one day. Love how u always have great tips for making things easier too. Both of u. Love this channel.
Thank you, and you’re welcome 😊 Hope you enjoy!
Thank you so much. I am new and love how calm you are. I am so nervous on any canning. I Made Peach Jam as a try and though taste great so running. I will continue to get tips. May God and Jesus Christ Bless you and your Family.
Instead of tomato paste I use tomato powder from my dehydrated tomatoes. It adds an awesome fresh tomato flavor. I love your channel.
I’m so happy I just recently found this channel, I’ve learned so much so far … thank u
You are so welcome!
Just downloaded your tomato recipes. Thank you so much! I love trying new recipes. Great channel...I enjoy all your content.
Such an amazing video! Thank you for sharing. Michelle, your tips and instructions (including your disclaimer that this is how YOU do it) is so genuine...I could (and sometimes do) watch your content on repeat! Also, great editing Cody... your creativity is evident and your "please wait" msgs always make me laugh 😊
That’s so great. We really try to be relatable, so that’s good to hear. And thank you from me, Codi, for mentioning the editing. I put a lot of time, heart, and soul into that 😊
Michelle, can you please 1. Tell us where you purchased the pizza skillet and 2. Maybe consider teaching us how you make pizza? (Or point the way to a reliable resource?) Thank you again!
Hi! Here’s the skillet: www.amazon.com/dp/B00008GKDN/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_2ZJB71ZSQSJYF2SJ9JE6?linkCode=ml2&tag=morethanfarme-20
And I bet we can get that pizza in a video sometime 😊
Thank you for the beautiful recipes! I am a new subscriber to your channel and I just LOVE how honest and humble and sincere you guys are! I feel overwhelmed pretty quickly, but watching this channel has given me hope that I too will be a homesteader in the future. I especially appreciated the playlist to boost new and aspiring homesteaders ❤. Thank you for the great advice always!
So good to hear! Good luck on your journey 😊
God has bless this man with a good wife. I wish I could find one like this. And the land and garden is awesome.
He sure has 😊
congratulations on all the new subs! I started watching when it was 30.7K. Great content.
Thank you 😊 Glad you're one of em!
Yay 🎉 so excited for this. Thank you Codi and Michelle!
Hey guys my husband and I live in Australia and we have just found your channel. We have been binge watching your videos every night and love the way in which you share and teach from experience. We have just purchased our property and are getting ready to start preserving our foods I’ve found this video so helpful. One question when cooking up batches of sauces etc what size stock pot would you recommend? Does the quality of the pot make a big difference? Thanks so much for sharing all you do. Bless you guys
So excited to have you in our community! As for a stock pot to make sauces, I would definitely recommend using stainless steel because it will help you get around so many toxins in other cookware. I have a 3 gallon stock pot that is my all-time favorite.
14:23 = beautiful editing. I appreciate this
Thank you for the smart ideas 💡 and great recipes. Your idea of pouring off the tomato juice was brilliant. I’ve been wanting to try to can beans with the tomato juice since I thought of the idea last winter. So now I’m pressure canning the bean in tomato juice and water bathing the purée tomatoes! :) keep up the great videos because your helping many folks!! ❤
Sounds great! Thank you!
Thanks for the video, you gave me ideas for all the tomatoes rolling in. I tried getting the ebook but so far I haven't received it , not in spam either. I'll keep watching for it. Thanks again.
That's weird! Sorry, hopefully it'll work.
My wife and I make a keto BBQ sauce from our no sugar added ketchup that we make. It keeps things simple! Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds great! Glad you enjoyed 😊
I do the same thing. I pick my tomatoes just prior to full ripen. That way more tomatoes have the energy the rip ones took. The best blender is a Vitamix. It blends skin and seeds. Great content!!!!! You are absolutely adorable!!! Don't worry.....I'm a grandma. Not hitting on you. Lol
Haha, thank you 😊
You may want to try an immersion blender instead of the blender. It lets you blend right in the pot. I find it very handy.
Just found your videos and am enjoying them tremendously! Learning a few tips too. Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for sharing!
I’m curious as to the cornstarch in canning lots of other canning channels suggest not to use it so I’m happy to see someone using it for canning
I've started canning the water that comes off of the frozen tomatoes & use it in place of water in dishes like vegetable soup
Thank you for the recipes. I've never done any canning before, but these seem simple for beginner canning recipes.
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy!
I’m so excited to hear about that liquid smoke! I didn’t want to use any because of the other ingredients so thanks for sharing that one! Now if only my tomatoes would ripen haha!
I hope it turns out great for ya 😊
Thank you. Hearing your upbringing is also good. If its been ok for hundreds of years it still is in my eyes.
Right on 😏
I love your channel! We don't have a farm, but I am very much into preserving healthy food. I am a grandmother of 5 children and love them dearly. So, I am saying this with love....please protect your family. This world, unfortunately has evil people. I live in Fairborn, Ohio (formerly lived in Columbus) so I am confident I have figured out the town in which you live. (You also inadvertently disclosed it). Not saying how.....Much love and keep up the good work!!
Thank you for that 😊 We definitely think about it and we talk to other TH-camrs about it. There's pretty much no way to stay hidden once we're in the public. Everything is only a few Google searches away these days. We have things in place though. Thank you for your concern!
🥰@@morethanfarmers
Can I come live with you!!!??? 😍😍 these look seriously amazing! I don’t know when I’m gonna find the time to make all of this but I want it all!!!! Awesome job!!! 👏👏👏
😂 If it's your dream and you works towards it, you'll get there.
You could save the skins dehydrate and then powder them. Use for extra nutrition in sauce, make instant tomato soups, or make paste with a little water or juice in use In place of tomato paste or even just add back into your sauce.
Also you could boil/condense down the juice you initially drained off from the freezing and nonsense down to a little thicker version and add some seasoning and/or veggie juice or powder for a nice juice. You could also just use that liquid in place of veggie broth for soups, stewsand any recipe that calls for broth for a little extra flavour. You could can it to keep it for later too. I also do this with corn cobs after I removed the kernels to make a nice corn broth I use in other meals.
Michelle, thank you for sharing all your tips on canning. I've never yet done salsa...with the onions and spices must this be pressure canned? I'm 66 yrs. old and have always gardened and canned but only started pressure canning in 2020 during the lock down. I'm trying to use used items to build pantry shelving . My husband helped me re-purpose an old dresser which has three shelves and one drawer on the bottom for canning lids etc.. But the amount of food stuffs I've done require more space. If Cody could show or has done a video on building your pantry shelves that would be a nice bit of info to share. I really love watching you two and all your progress. God bless!
Sounds like a good system, Mary! Thanks for watching 😁❤️
Omg I love watching all your videos, I wish I could do more to grow and eat more healthier but appreciate you guys sharing. On one of your videos Michelle mention she doesn’t by cleaning supplies. I would appreciate a video of her ideas if cleaning supplies, disinfectants, and even what you guys use to wash? Thank you 🙏🏻
Sounds good! We’ll try to do that.
I enjoy watching you work. Keep posting new videos.
Thank you! Cheers!
I can the tomato “water” when I make sauce to add to soups. I really love your channel!!
I was hust looking for a good bbq sauce recipe! I love your videos. Have you ever tried charring your tomatoes on the grill? This lets the water separate also and gives out of this world flavor. Once they're charred you can pour the water off, run them through the processor and then through the seive. Gets the seeds and skins out and leaves fantastic flavor behind.
That sounds really good 🤤
Ooh, I love to grow fennel. It doesn't take a lot to get enough seed and the bulbs are delicious in stock/bone broth. It's easier than onions from seed and worth it. The whole thing dehydrates well
Yummy 😋
OMG! I am from Maine and made your Ketchup and BBQ Sauce today! I love it! You are amazing!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it!😊
I’ve been waiting for these recipes! So excited to try them!
Hope you enjoy!
Another great video, that is very interesting. I’m a city girl and I don’t do that kind of stuff but boy I would love too, thank you for sharing. ❤
So good, thank you for the recipes, with love from France.
Howdy! You’re welcome 😊
Hi Michelle, I'm watching from Sydney Australia and just found your channel. These recipes look fantastic. I'll have to give them ago next summer. Cheers
Welcome to the channel!
You guys are so awesome, and I am glad I found your channel! Thanks for all the info.
I’m allergic to corn wheat sugar and seed oils and many additives so I’m so excited to find your recipes. I’m also growing in containers because of living in a neighborhood hoa and limited space. Raised beds and fabric bags are working well and inexpensive compared to organic produce
Wow, that's rough! Glad you're working with what you have though. Blessings on the journey.
so clever about straining the tomatoes. Love this so much
I’m so thankful for your videos! I’ve learnt so much from watching you guys. I always get inspired and cook or garden after watching😂
❤
Woohoo!
Hi just found your channel and subbed! I can't wait to try these recipes, thanks so much for posting!!
Awesome! Enjoy!
I love my foodmill. I also have an attachment for my KitchenAid mixer that does the same thing.
I think i laughed way too much watching this than i should have. those genuine awkward moments was hilarious ! keep up! i'm literally binge watching your video's.
Haha that's great! Glad you enjoyed 😊
Hi! Thanks so much for sharing your recipes! I made the marinara sauce today! Delicious❤
That's great! So glad it turned out for you.
Thank you for sharing this ! Especially your sauces recipe , i will definitely try them 😊
Thank you so much for the downloadable recipes. I’m in New Zealand, so I’ll have to remember to refer to it when Autumn comes around.
Better plant more tomato seeds then if I’m going to make that much sauce!
You’re so welcome! Good luck!
I bet they taste incredible! I'm not a fan of most barbecue sauces because they are "too" barbecuey....I like a nice smoky sauce that isn't overly sweet, or spicy. I might try your recipe with some tomatoes that I have frozen! I'm really enjoying your channel, I love how you guys keep it real!
Sounds great!
Well Michelle….you did it again!!!! BOOM!!!!😂can’t wait to try those recipes…looked delicious! Cody, sorry to hear your fishing trip wasn’t so great. But thanks for getting your girl that food processor to make all those great recipes!!!!😊
Love every single video, always like the videos, wish you guys the best
Great recipes and very nice video! Thank you.
Our pleasure 😊
Michelle, don't throw away the tomato juice! We add pineapple juice, salt, fresh lemon juice, and jalapenos (fresh and to taste) run through blender. Great and healthy drink. We can't keep enough.
I grew jimmy nordello this year. I
thought they were really good. they are mild/sweet will grow these next year.
