On tomato paste open both ends of the can, remove one lid then push the other end(lid) to the other end. It pushes all the paste out without waste or much work.
Can I tell you how much I appreciate both of you two working together! It is WONDERFUL!! What a wonderful example you are to your children, and to anyone who is watching your videos. I love the way you guys work together, giggle together over funny little mistakes. Thank you Zach, showing that men can step in and help in the kitchen and still be a very manly man….Oh and thank you for sharing the recipe!🍅🫑🌶🧅🧄
You can’t beat homemade spaghetti sauce!!! And I have to say, YES, Jen is a very hard worker, but so are you Zach. You BOTH, working together, are what make your homestead work!!! God bless all your endeavors and your family!!! 💕🌸💕
@@thebirdsandthebeeshomestea2672 Yes I saw that but isnt it recommended to add that to JUST tomatoes anyway? If 2T is all that is needed to water-bath everything why do we pressure can at all? 🤷
Jen you are one amazing person, you do so much on your homestead allot of things we do not see on a daily base’s. To see all that you did in one day was amazing. Ask that you did, most people would have give up after y the first task. But you at least ten or more different things in one day plus home schooled your kids. Great job
Hi Jen I always put my additions (herbs spices salt etc.) in before I blend it . This I find incorporates it much better and the taste test is more accurate quicker. Your doing a great job. From the UK.x
It blows my mind how many processed food contains sugar. It's no wonder kids are addicted to junk food that once was healthy... Congratulations on gettin-r-done! Wtg Jenn! 😘☮️💖🙏
Wow Jen, U have done a lot! Yes that's true, a proven fact, u r not supposed to do canning certain times of the month. That sauce looks delicious! I put olive oil in my spaghetti sauce. U can use that sauce for meat loaf too and stews and lasagna and shells with ricotta. I would probably omit the peppers for the kids sauce. Yummmy!
Could you add a sweeter tomato, like the little ones to get the sweetness without sugar? Or maybe a few sweet carrots would take the edge off without adding sugar.
I just bought myself a label maker and let me tell you it's a God send. I can so much each year and I've been having issues with my hands so I knew I couldn't write on each and every jar lid so I ordered the Phomemo thermal label maker from Amazon. It's pink. Lol it wasn't expensive at all. It's well worth every penny.
Hey Jenn, It just occurred to me when you guys are tasting the sauce. Remember that the sauce will be way less when it cooks down so you may end up putting in enough spices for a big pot instead of a half pot. Hope that helps. Loving the big kitchen 😋
This looks good. I just picked 200 pounds of Roma tomatoes, processing today. I have a Sicilian Marinara Sauce I make that is delicious on my channel. I pressure can my Marinara. Water Bath Canning is only safe for just tomatoes( with Basil & garlic). I know generations have done it this way but we have both knowledge and equipment now to make certain we are Canning as safely as possible. 💜🤗
Yes I have just started P C my sauces/soups. I understand that when you add additional veges it changes the PH. My mom never P C anything snd survived but my new phrase is “when you know better, you do better”.
Old wives tale, can't can food while on your period. But I did my whole life. No bad batches, no broken jars & no jars that didn't seal. I don't believe crap like that.
Loved your video. My Grandma would never let anyone in the kitchen if it was "their time of the month" when it was canning time either. She lived in north central part of Wesy Virginia. Your spaghetti sauce looked delicious. You are amazing Jen to have done all that in one day. I got tired just watching the video, LOL. But I love you all so much. Much love.
I have found that if you remove as many tomato seeds as possible will make sauce thicker. That's what I do when making ketchup and pizza sauce. Just a suggestion. Going to try this next year. Thanks
I hold a small bowl under my ladle when filling up jars so I can do it quickly without making a mess. That way it drips into the bowl, not all over the place.
I so wish we were neighbors. It would be nice for you guys to know me. You are living my dream life. Jen you are so amazing. I homeschooled my now 20's daughter and I cannot fathom doing all that in one day. God bless your sleep. Your children are such a blessing from God. Thank you for all the hard work you do to share with us. I love your cows they are so sweet and yes you do make odd baby talk to them. But hey, they get it. :) ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Y’all are amazing!! Good job Zac and Jenn my momma told me her mom told her not to be in the kitchen canning during that time of the month. So it’s just something that is a known fact and every country woman knows it.
Thank you for giving her so much credit! As the parent who does the work at home that it takes to have a thriving family, they rarely get the credit! We put too much value on the money and not enough on the effort that is equal or plus! 😍
I always add carrots to my spaghetti sauces to give it a naturally sweeter taste and husband gets his carrots in without knowing it. What was that pepper you like, I could make it out and replayed the video but still couldn't get it. I think I need one of the turkey roaster too. Everything looks delish and there is such satisfaction knowing you grew it
I was able to barter for some organic dried cranberries so have added them to a lot different types of foods. One I have used them in is spaghetti sauce. Cuts the acid bite and gives it a sweet taste without adding a lot of sugar.
Dude! I haven’t watched but part of one of your videos before today but I’m cooking tomatoes and looking at recipes/how-to’s. You made me cry! 😭 I so needed to hear that I am crushing this hard work with gardening and preserving! It is not easy to be a homesteader. Even though my back is hurting me today I’m canning whole tomatoes and tomato sauce, been at it since first thing this morning. THANK YOU! Thank you for taking the time to recognize all us mamas working hard for our families! ❤
Ha ha Zach you owe me a coke, When Jenn said you never can have to much Garlic I said Amen Sister, And then you said the same thing LOL 😂 Cracked me up! Good video my friends!
Jen, I was never blessed with children but had I a choice for a daughter it would be someone just like you. You are a good wife and friend to your husband and an excellent mother. May God bless your every endeavor! I applaud you! 👏😊👍
Im sry u never had children I raised 2 of my blood children n 9 others n I hope u don't take this wrong but it really bothers me when ppl who wanted children n would've been wonderful parents n don't get them then u c God forgive me but ppl who don't want them n keep having them n they're just not loved or taken care of I have a family member that had 5 an an abortion before the 1st one an in between each one an one after the last n they were heavy drinkers n did Los of heavy drug use n got them taken away never got them back so I hope u take this as a good comment not bad if I offended im truly sry God bless
I've been so busy with work and...unfortunatley my mom was diagnosed with cancer recently so we've been trying to navigate that, plus in school learning is begining again next week for us, and I've got one started freshman year and one starting Kindergarten....all while running the wedding planning business! It's been crazy. Until now, I haven't had a chance to catch up on content in a couple weeks! This video is coming at a great time for me...planning to can this recipe tomorrow! Thanks so much! Miss you guys! I hope you have a blast at the fair, wish I could be there!
Canning season is exhausting and Jen is amazing! You’s are such hard workers and amazing how you put the word out there to get food on your shelf in such a fun n loving way. So happy I came across your channel ❤
I have a tip when it comes to ripening tomatoes… Layer them in a cardboard box somewhere cool and dark and flip them every day until they’re completely ripe. you get an even ripeness and they won’t go mushy and yucky. Happy canning I am making watermelon jelly myself right now :-)
@@denisewilson8367 I actually found the recipe on TH-cam. when I couldn’t figure out what to do with the rest of the watermelon. My jelly turned out more like a syrup than a jelly, unfortunately. Tasted pretty good tho. Recipe was simple: juice 8 cups of watermelon to 5 cup sugar, use a jelling agent ( I used liquid pectin) Bring to a rolling boil and reduce. When you think you’re done reducing reduce some more. Get a movie on your iPad, you might need it LOL. I stood in front of the stove for quite a while. it still came out fairly liquidy as it did not set properly. Good luck LOL tasty project though. We use it in seltzer water👍🏻
@@metalmartha2571 As soon as I can, I'll give it a go. Thanx for the recipe & the extra tips. Flavoring the water is good. But how's it on ice cream? LOL
I am definitely going to make this spaghetti sauce when my tomatoes ripen! I did can green beans and potatoes using your video and they turned out great - yes we already ate a quart lol. Thank you for sharing your canning recipes.
Thank you guys for your videos , amazing how much preparation and work in Canaan, all your food and butter and buttermilk and all that stuff that was so awesome
For those that are new to canning, lift jars slowly, water bath or pressure cookers, lift jars slowly, the temperature difference will shatter the jar. Great video.
I would like to thank you for this video, as I made a simple batch to test it and my husband and I agree your method made the best sauce we've ever made. LOL, only took 27 years to find the perfect recipe! 😊 Thank you so much Stivers! God bless you all. 🕊
You two work well together and you have fun together. This is my second time watching any of your videos. I'm now retired so I really can get into canning and preserving when I'm not machine embroidering for my business. keep up the good work!!!I appreciate the way you treat your wife. Lots of love mixed with laughter and respect. Vicki Fischer
❤ Hi Jenn and Zak ♥ I been wanting to learn how to can for a long time ❣ I'm learning from you Guy's now so thank you for sharing ♥ I do have one little advance for making sauce I'm Italian and when i make my sauce from scratch try to put white suger and some olive oil it makes a BIG DEFIANCE it takes the acidic from the tomatoes .Also I cook in my cheese 🧀 picarno/Romano.it thickness it up and just takes it to a hole new level ,if yu don't want to do the cheese do your self a favor and try the white suger suger and Olive oil. Love you Yeas, and Jenn you are such a great Mom / Wife / cook you do it all ❤
Love it thanks, I love seeing canning videos, they bring so much inspriation. I know their are always haters about the "correct" way but i wanna say this was great
I’ve been waiting to see this one! I do my own as well and can it up…and this is definitely the time of the year with all the tomatoes coming on! Love seeing different versions and I’m sure yours is amazing! Try adding a small amount of red wine and let it simmer in for several hours it will enhance your flavors a lot! Blessings from Western NC-love ya! 💖🙏
@@melaniejohnson3130 I always use lemon juice or citric acid…I’ve never noticed a flavor change with lemon juice. I use it just to make sure it’s safe cause acidity levels in tomatoes varies. Maggie Valley , NC is where I’m at. Blessings 💖🙏
That's hilarious Zach! If I didn't can while on my period we would NOT have had any canned food. I have NEVER had a jar that didn't seal. And no husband willing to work at home. He said he worked at his job he wasn't going to work on his "TIME OFF".
I feel the same way. I just canned 96 jars and every one sealed. Besides, if I told my husband to help can, it's that time of the month.......we would starve. Lol 😆
A lot of work but you made it and you know exactly what ingredients went into the making of the sketti sauce. I am sure it's much better than anything you can buy in the store.
I did spaghetti sauce fir the first time this year and my family loved it. Today I will be canning tomato juice and juicing grapes. This week I have got to get started on 1 1/2 bushels of apples gifted by a friend. Won't be going hungry on the Hill!!
You know you can put a thickener in it like a tablespoon of corn starch dissolved in water and add to it when you pour the jar in the saucepan to heat it. I do it all the time. It doesn't change the taste. Make sure you don't do it before you can it because it will make a frothy mess while canning.
@@marybeyiard8271 it doesn’t taste good by itself, but a little bit with sugar in tomato sauce, it makes it rich tasting and takes that super tangy edge off of it…
@@heirloomcottagedesigns9063 I love regular balsamic with a strawberry, blue cheese, pecan salad. There's also a strawberry dessert made with balsamic that I've not tried. I actually prefer it and rice vinegar over white vinegar
"I make messes and break things" 😂 hey that's my husband's motto! Great video. I'm canning spaghetti sauce this year for the first time. Thanks for the encouragement..🍅
On tomato paste open both ends of the can, remove one lid then push the other end(lid) to the other end. It pushes all the paste out without waste or much work.
Yes!! This ^^^^^ .... works perfectly!!!
Oh, my gosh!!!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!!!!! I have fought tomato paste for years!!!!!!!!
We've always done the same.
When you do this you can also slice the little “log” into tablespoon sizes and freeze for when you need only a small amount.
Great tip! First though, wash both ends of the can off.
For future, you can add shredded carrots for natural sweetness and lowers acidity.
That is good to know!
Wendi ROME At Home, yes, I add lots of carrots, celery & also smoked salt in place of plain salt . It's the best tomato sauce I ever made .
Add a beet or carrots even dried apple or raisins .all can add natural swwetness
Thanks for the suggestion...
@@ellenfisher6341 where do you get smoked salt? It sounds good.

We agree! Love watching them both work together! A blessed family 😊
I came here to say the same thing. These two are so uplifting. I feel like I have had a big gulp of fresh air. ❤
Jenn is definitely a hard working mama!! I love how the two of you work together.
You can’t beat homemade spaghetti sauce!!! And I have to say, YES, Jen is a very hard worker, but so are you Zach. You BOTH, working together, are what make your homestead work!!! God bless all your endeavors and your family!!! 💕🌸💕
So glad to see someone else using up the squash and zucchini in sauce. I love doing that with my abundance of veggies!
I've never thought of adding squash and zucchini...genius!
I add zucchini to my homemade chili as well as carrots
How does the addition of so many low acid vegetables NOT change the way its processed!!??
@@JoaniesJourney the added in lemon juice..
@@thebirdsandthebeeshomestea2672
Yes I saw that but isnt it recommended to add that to JUST tomatoes anyway?
If 2T is all that is needed to water-bath everything why do we pressure can at all? 🤷

Congratulations on gettin-r-done!
Wtg Jenn! 😘☮️💖🙏
To top it off...sugar feeds cancer cells. GMO foods is the real killer.
Lots of work I use to do all that, handicapped now really miss it,enjoy it while you can.

Could you add a sweeter tomato, like the little ones to get the sweetness without sugar? Or maybe a few sweet carrots would take the edge off without adding sugar.
Or maybe white sweet beets like Avalanche?
You have to keep it acidic. Check out Ball canning book or watch Living Traditions Homestead channel for canning info.

@Heidivlf Just click on my name. It's The Canning Nana
Jen, you look exhausted! What a fantastically productive day... Your home is beautiful. Really enjoy your channel, thank you x
OH my golly, Jen, that looks AMAZING! My mouth is watering!
Since you have vegetables in that sauce, you need to pressure can the sauce. Better safe than sorry. It looks wonderful.
How long should it be pressure canned for?
Working hard awesome job!!
Ok I’m not understanding why Jenn couldn’t put it in the jars
Old wives tale, can't can food while on your period. But I did my whole life. No bad batches, no broken jars & no jars that didn't seal. I don't believe crap like that.
@@denisewilson8367 Thank you I kind of remember this
Oh boy....looks so good. I always put veggies in my spaghetti sauce, kids get their veggies without knowing it. Thanks for sharing with us.
I love to see a couple working together makes my heart so happy thank yall!
Yes and hot lovely couple and yummy food to Its just exuding filling the senses with greatness

Amazing work. U2 are amazing. Yup just like making a cake or candy if it’s that time, it will not turn out
My grandmother's spaghetti sauce always started with onions, carrots and celery cooked down the start adding tomatoes, peppers and spices.
Country mamas always rock it! Great job. I sure enjoy watching you!
I have found that if you remove as many tomato seeds as possible will make sauce thicker. That's what I do when making ketchup and pizza sauce. Just a suggestion. Going to try this next year. Thanks
I think the tomato gel around the seeds is where the best flavor is. I could never leave it out.
I hold a small bowl under my ladle when filling up jars so I can do it quickly without making a mess. That way it drips into the bowl, not all over the place.
Your doing a great job Jen, so much to do on the homestead and your great at multitasking. I always have multiple things going at once.
Girl you’re awesome! I am so glad that your husband appreciates all that you do. I can’t believe how much you do in a day with children!

Y’all are amazing!! Good job Zac and Jenn my momma told me her mom told her not to be in the kitchen canning during that time of the month. So it’s just something that is a known fact and every country woman knows it.
Awesomeness 👌 👏 👍 I'm hungry 😋
I am fermenting peppers , cabbage,green beans, pickles, and red onions today. I can relate.
Your video came just in time 👍🏼
Great video! We are all going to be set for spaghetti sauce, chili sauce etc! I need an emulsion blender!
Everyone needs an immersion blender. Best kitchen invention ever!
Jen, I don't know how you do it all! Awesome job. Do it while you can, age slows you down when you get my age. God Bless you all.
Thank you for giving her so much credit! As the parent who does the work at home that it takes to have a thriving family, they rarely get the credit! We put too much value on the money and not enough on the effort that is equal or plus! 😍
Round 2! My second year canning this recipe. Thank you, again, for sharing with us. You are a blessing! God bless you! 🍅
You two are a great team. Just beautiful canning. Blessings to the whole family.
Good job Jen, and it is all done with love for the family! And kudos to Zach too for jumping in to help.
I always add carrots to my spaghetti sauces to give it a naturally sweeter taste and husband gets his carrots in without knowing it. What was that pepper you like, I could make it out and replayed the video but still couldn't get it. I think I need one of the turkey roaster too. Everything looks delish and there is such satisfaction knowing you grew it
I believe he said Roulette heatless habanero :)
Or even a handful of raisins..?
Peppers were bell and heatless habanero
I was able to barter for some organic dried cranberries so have added them to a lot different types of foods. One I have used them in is spaghetti sauce. Cuts the acid bite and gives it a sweet taste without adding a lot of sugar.
That looks really good. I love my immersion blender. Your right you can never have to much garlic.

You guys are amazing I’m from NY only have small garden but you work so hard. animals, home schooling etc. impressive!!!
I would suggest if you wnated to add more natural sweetness in the future try adding carrots and beets.
I've been so busy with work and...unfortunatley my mom was diagnosed with cancer recently so we've been trying to navigate that, plus in school learning is begining again next week for us, and I've got one started freshman year and one starting Kindergarten....all while running the wedding planning business!

Started this yesterday and it looks great!
Canning later!
19 quarts
Yum ...I think 14 qts. I do however have a question..with the addition of all the other veggies don't you have to pressure?
Wondering the same thing
Yes it should be pressured canned. Your kitchen your rules. I can’t stand the thought of making my family sick. I stick to tested recipes.
I had the same thought.
I would definitely pressure can with all those peppers and squash.🥺
So very sweet of you to tell what all your wife does. It is obvious that you appreciate her
If you dehydrate tomatoes turn it into powder than you just add a bit of water to the quantity desired and bam instant tomato paste
I’m gonna have to try that for sure! Thanks for the tip

Is this a safe tested recipe?

@@melaniejohnson3130 I always use lemon juice or citric acid…I’ve never noticed a flavor change with lemon juice. I use it just to make sure it’s safe cause acidity levels in tomatoes varies. Maggie Valley , NC is where I’m at. Blessings 💖🙏
@@purplephoenixartbymicheled9298 Maggie Valley here..hi neighbor 🙏💖
Yay! North Carolina girl here also! Love the videos!
Love yall videos
I couldn’t parallel park “that time” of the month, it’s beautiful that you have an understanding husband. ♥️😊♥️
I think it's awesome that Zach participates with cooking & canning & such . Wish my hubby did
Awesome looking sauce! In the future, adding carrots will add some sweetness to sauce. Or even apples.
Starting to can tomato soup for winter!
That's hilarious Zach! If I didn't can while on my period we would NOT have had any canned food. I have NEVER had a jar that didn't seal. And no husband willing to work at home. He said he worked at his job he wasn't going to work on his "TIME OFF".
I have been canning for 20 years and never heard about not canning during your time. 🤣 My jars seal too.
Amazing work guys!
I feel the same way. I just canned 96 jars and every one sealed. Besides, if I told my husband to help can, it's that time of the month.......we would starve. Lol 😆
@@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead yep !
Yea, I’ve never heard of that either. Lol.
Never heard of that. But I had a hysterectomy years before I ever started Canning lol
A lot of work but you made it and you know exactly what ingredients went into the making of the sketti sauce. I am sure it's much better than anything you can buy in the store.
Blending it is such a good idea! I tried cooking the tomatoes in my crockpot for the first time and it was very very easy!
I did spaghetti sauce fir the first time this year and my family loved it. Today I will be canning tomato juice and juicing grapes. This week I have got to get started on 1 1/2 bushels of apples gifted by a friend. Won't be going hungry on the Hill!!
Looks delicious 😋 maybe carrots would help with natural sugars and some o ion powder
You know you can put a thickener in it like a tablespoon of corn starch dissolved in water and add to it when you pour the jar in the saucepan to heat it. I do it all the time. It doesn't change the taste. Make sure you don't do it before you can it because it will make a frothy mess while canning.
You can add Heinz Chilli sauce to it if you want.
You both are so amazing! What teamwork! I love watching!❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
So I just bought one of those spiral egg holders. Question: how long will the unwashed fresh eggs last on the counter??
3 months
I just Made this spaghetti sauce today it is amazing thank you for the recipe
Is it water bath canned with all that zucchini in there? I was under the impression that it would have to be pressure canned🤷♀️
That was my concern also.
@@terriwilliams1600 I know she added acid (lemon juice) which is required for water bath canned tomatoes anyway… but 🤷♀️
Jen!!! You the queen!!! Great job!
Balsamic vinegar and just a tiny bit of sugar takes the tangy edge off off it…
I definitely second the balsamic vinegar!
I've never had any balsamic vinegar I love reg vinegar stuff but what does it taste like ?
@@marybeyiard8271 it doesn’t taste good by itself, but a little bit with sugar in tomato sauce, it makes it rich tasting and takes that super tangy edge off of it…
If the vinegar is reduced or you but the glaze instead, it's very sweet. If you reduce it yourself, watch it closely.
@@heirloomcottagedesigns9063 I love regular balsamic with a strawberry, blue cheese, pecan salad. There's also a strawberry dessert made with balsamic that I've not tried. I actually prefer it and rice vinegar over white vinegar
It’s making my mouth water.
"I make messes and break things" 😂 hey that's my husband's motto! Great video. I'm canning spaghetti sauce this year for the first time. Thanks for the encouragement..🍅
