Absolutely tomato-tastic! Pom-adorable (ok, I'll stop). I think this type of communal activity would only serve to benefit the community cohesion; and you get passata for the rest of winter! We don't have this in the uk? Do we? Perhaps scrumping apples in somerset? Tony
tonydeltablues It's actually surprising that we don't really have pressure canning in the UK. People grow vegetables but don't quite know what to do with the harvest, I would of thought if you grow vegetables you would want to preserve them for the rest of the year.
Still plenty of good communities in the UK, swapping, making and sharing, you wouldn't know about them because if you did they wouldn't last long. Most small towns and villages have been bought out by people who have city wages who cant stand the city (atleast in my experience)
BLACK HAT My mum used to 'jar' fruit, not can....peaches, plums, and lots of things for winter eating, in Canada. They stayed in a shelved pantry, in the basement, to keep cool!
That's what a lot of Italian families do, especially in the south. Virgin olive oil in November, and tomato sauce in August. It's both a family rite and a tradition and you make them to last for the whole year to come.
Well now I know what the Italian families were doing in their garage and driveways when I lived in Toronto. It looked like so much fun, I wanted to volunteer to help. I'm going to have to try this myself. Thanks Pasta Grannies!
I grew up in Toronto too! I can remember the Italian Grannies buying tomatoes and peppers in the St. Lawrence market, biting off a bit of pepper to test them! My grandma lived near Bloor St, did her shopping there, and there were so many little grocers thrived because Italians bought their goods there and homemade everything . I miss all the. Baskets of fresh produce here, in UK😢
This brings back such fond memories. I'm Italian but living abroad and I remember going back home for the summer and making fresh sauce for the winter. At the end of the day my aunt would bring fresh pasta she had made earlier to cook it and try the freshly made sauce!!! L'italia é il paese del cibo buono e della dolce vita!
Can't believe some people don't realize that vine ripened tomatoes picked at the optimum time of ripeness that you grow yourself without pesticides or other chemicals (or that you buy from a local organic producer). and that you can without additives are going to not only taste better but are better for you. That's not to mention how much this builds community and family cohesiveness.
I’m an American but my grandfather was from Italy. This video brought me back to my childhood! Every summer we’d put bushels and bushels of tomatoes through the food mill to have passata all winter long, and then my mom would can! So much fun and so much work!
Yes, it's very much a case of many hands make light work! And of course your nonna and mom's tomato passata would have tasted so much better than anything one can buy. Best wishes, Vicky
goestplus we did the same. It’s a lot of work ! We never bought a vegetable my entire time growing up. Grew it and canned it. Fresh tomato sauce is the best.
He he...doing passata this weekend here in Melbourne, Australia where the summer tomatoes are almost perfect now. One of my favourite days of the year, making sauce for my sisters and their families...so much love to bottle.
Damn, this brings back memories. I used to join my parents during passata's making sessions, like the kids in the video. Messy work but totally worth it.
Passata making sessions, that sounds like so much fun❣️ When I was a kid, I didn’t even know what passata was. Tomato sauce wasn’t common here in Norway at all, but at the end of the 70’s, it started changing, first came pizza, which was Norwegianized, of course, then we started to slowly changed our «Spaghetti and Million Beef» (Spaghetti and minced beef in brown gravey/sauce), tomato was added, and finally we went all the way to Spaghetti Bolognese and barely any makes Spaghetti in brown sauce anymore. Too bad, because it is really good! It shouldn’t be one or the other, it should be both. When I saw a TV show a few years ago, I learned that Italian grannies even used to make it - I thought it just was something Norweegians made, because they didn’t have tomatoes. Well, we still have a powder-sauce (which you add water or water/milk/cream to) which is a brown sauce with tomato (puré?) added, in stores (Toro brand, called «Kjøttdeigsaus»/«Minced Meat Sauce). Personally I don’t use powder sauces though, I had to buy one of that sauce a few years ago, a bit nostalgic. It’s not bad, it is quite good, I just don’t feel much need for it, I like making food from scratch. If I don’t have the energy, I just make a quick from scratch meal, like e.g. full grain pasta with a creamy mushroom sauce topped with nutritional yeast and a couple of veggie powders (dehydrated/powdered veggies, yummy and full of nutrients). Takes less than 15 minutes. I do buy basic tomato sauce though. I would have loved to make though, if I could get as good and affordable tomatoes as the Italians (or could have grown them myself). Or I buy Italian canned tomatoes, so happy we now get them, I gladly pay some more for that. I did cook BBQ sauce from scratch using Norwegian canned tomatoes though, and was surprised at how delicious it ended out, but I added quite a bit of sweetener to compensate, I didn’t use much real sugar though, I mostly used alternative sweeteners and it was great. I made it early in the summer and it’s already all used up, LOL... I for sure will do it again, I usually made BBQ sauce from ketchup with no sugar added, but since I saw how yummy it becomes when made from scratch, I for sure will make the ketchup too myself, it was soooo yummy with a little extra love, like balsamic and «white balsamic» vinegars in place of ordinary vinegars. Added a sweetness and depth I loved. YUM! OMG, it’s really late, almost midnight, but now I am really hungry, LOL... ☺️ I’ll climb off my soap box and make myself a little snack... ☺️🍅🍜🥤
You will need to go to Southern Italy, let's say Napoli and below...I am pretty sure that such welcoming people will adopt you, just put into account gaining a few kilos! :)
Great videos! I love your channel, and this video in particular reminds me all the times I saw my parents and my family gathering together to prepare the tomato 'passata'. They were all waking up at 5am, to collect the fresh tomatoes, than they were boiling them, and my task was to fill the bottles and close them. Every bottle should have two leaves of basil, so they'd be more tasty. I do not live in Italy anymore, but my parents are still preparing it every year, and I do not miss any chance of having some passata to bring with me to Switzerland when I go visiting them.
My father makes this (he's italian) i use it with home made pasta, loads of fresh basil, salt, pepper & chicken that's been slowly cooked in my Kamado Joe.....trust me it's gorgeous !!!
Bellissimo !!!💗💖💗💓 Io adesso vivo in Germania e mi manca tantissimo fare la salsa di pomodoro. A parte, che il gusto del sugo é diverso dal pelato o dalla salsa commerciale, poi é tanto bello stare insieme, con l'acqua ,i bambini, le chiacchiere e a mangiar pane e pomodoro con olio,sale e origano...che bei tempi e bei momenti ...😍🤣💖💗💓🙋♀️
Making it at home.. in batches as the Tomatoes ripen.. phew its a lot of work but what a great feeling to have the harvests and then have some stored. Now, that is one brilliant community activity - everyone sharing the work so that they can enjoy the family Passata over the Winter months. They are looking so happy too, lovely video.
My family did this every summer!! My mom still does but on a smaller scale these days But, we grew our own tomatoes. There truly isn’t anything like it.
Bei tempi quando ad agosto tutta la mia famiglia si ritrovava da mio zio Biagio e facevamo 3 giorni che neanche la Cirio può immaginare. La cosa più bella era la spaghettata finale col sugo appena fatto.
I thought 'what a waste of tomatoes' until I reached 2:03. So glad I watched the entire video bc this was hugely informative. If I ever grow a large garden again I think I'll try this on my next big harvest. Thank you.!
Wow! I follwed for quite a number of years Italian Cooking School here in Montreal, the "Mezza-Luna" school ... great learning dishes from a Italy region, but never got any courage to do the tomato passata, to much! .. So I salute the courage of this family! :-) Regards from Canada :-)
Watching granny stir the tomatoes makes me realize i think she is stronger than me, and i am a 55 year old irishman, but i think she could beat me at arm wrestling, lol, that is sad
My wiry old Irish boss, (who never seemed to eat or drink yet was always warm in winter and strong as an ox) used to say... there's vitamins, minerals and a sandwich in every pint.
I especially love the unity in European families! These tomatoes look so wonderfully fresh and red, unlike some of our early picked tomatoes here in the USA!
jmatt4life. Tomatoes “San Marzano” are the best in the world, growing at the foot of Vesuvius. They have a unique aroma and flavor. A Pasta with those tomatoes is a delicious thing.
JW McCabe They are not beautiful if they are picked early, as I observe is the case among a variety of tomatoes at my local market. I did not say we did not have ANY beautiful tomatoes in our USA!
As a kid I loved it. As a teenager and young adult I was bored. As a full grown man I would love to do it again but my nonnas have dead so.... that's it.
Buona sera ,oggi15 Agosto 2020 ho visto x caso questo video ,mi fa tornare indietro di 50 anni di quando ne avevo appena sette , darei qualsiasi cosa far tornare sulla terra la mia carissima nonna Maria a cui volevo un sacco di bene, x rifare le stesse cose che state facendo voi ,vi adoro pollice in su.👍❤️❤️❤️
This is a yearly event at my parent's house and most Italian households! Friends and family get together and help one another. It's a really nice tradition.
Hello there, Maybe I am being a little cheeky here now so I am going to test your 'Italian knowledge' at 'Pasta Grannies' lol, 'CANNONAU' WHAT IS IT AND WHERE IS IT FROM? lol
True. We did here at home in Northeastern Italy, my wife and me. The problem was that there was a lot of water, after all the process of bottling, sterilizind and settling but we did not know this simple procedure of squeezin the excess water prior to passing through the machine. In any case tomatoes in North Italy, in those years where winters were very cold and summers quite mild, did not reach the quality of those in the southern part of the peninsula, as for the majority of vegetables. Ours were winter resistant, poor and less diverse.
You're right old style is better, but the "cities style" point you made is a fallacy most who live in the country side eat fast food and processed garbage because corporations have bought everything and small businesses can't fight back since their is such poverty. Most cities have the high end restaurants and traditions with less big corporations since wall mart is banned is places like New York. You want less fast food? move to a city.
My new favorite channel on TH-cam. I used to do this every summer with my family, but unlike the kids in the video I did not enjoy it, it's hard work and goes late into the night, my poor mother! But looking back I wouldn't change it and I'm glad I know how to do it, as it's part of my Italian roots!
Alfonso Demagistris agree. It was hard work - all summer long. My family canned cases and cases of every vegi imaginable. Made our own grape juice, preserves, etc. my mother was tired too!
My mother in law's neighbour did the same thing in Caracas, Venezuela. Signora M. made hundreds of bottles and I was lucky to get some every year. The only bad thing was when Signora M. sons cleaned the garage: all the bits and pieces went directly to my MIL garage hahahahahaha She got really mad every year!
Quanti mesi di agosto passati a preparare le bottiglie di pomodoro per l'inverno! Ognuno con un suo compito preciso. Complimenti a chi ha avuto l'idea di questi video. Un saluto dalle Marche
Io sono italiano e anche qui si fa così! Solo i bruciatori per bollire i pomodori sono diversi, più compatti. Bello vedere come certe cose non cambiano!!!
Me and neighbours did the same. I went to the store and bought a truckload of tomato cans, divided them up. It will last us through the cold winter months.
I grew up doing this with corn in the Midwest! I had an aunt and uncle who would plant 3 acres of sweet corn next to their grain corn fields and the whole extended family would get together for a weekend and bag 100s of quarts of corn (best way to keep sweet corn is to cook it, cut it off the cob, bag it up and freeze it).
Questo video mi ha fatto lo stesso effetto di quelli sulla vendemmia; oramai non sono più un ragazzino e se ci sono cose che mi fanno tornare bambino sono queste, "fare i pomodori" (così diceva mia madre) e vendemmiare. Erano feste enormi, famiglia, parenti, amici... tutti a "lavorare" (si fa per dire, era una gioia) e poi si festeggiava a forza di brace, bruschette, vino, balli e canzoni (che darei per rivivere quelle giornate). Sry for italian I try to translate with google; this video made me the same effect like videos about harvest, I'm not more young and I'm back a child, I remember everything; family, relatives, friends, before the "work" (so to speak, that job was a joy) and then food, wine, music and dancing all together(I would pay gold to relive that days). Thanks to those who thought, worked and created a channel like this.
The children must had fun helping make the passata.I know i would have loved to help. Is all this for them or do they also have a business and sell some of it? Thank you Margarita
Absolutely tomato-tastic! Pom-adorable (ok, I'll stop). I think this type of communal activity would only serve to benefit the community cohesion; and you get passata for the rest of winter! We don't have this in the uk? Do we? Perhaps scrumping apples in somerset?

Righto - look forward to the full version.
Tony
I totally agree with you!

May this culture never dies❤️
They bought a TRUCKLOAD of tomatoes, and made "enough tomato sauce to last them most of the winter" ... These are my kind of people 🤣
If you want to try it yourself, you can buy a small amount of tomatoes and cook them in your kitchen.
That's what a lot of Italian families do, especially in the south. Virgin olive oil in November, and tomato sauce in August. It's both a family rite and a tradition and you make them to last for the whole year to come.
Luca Capezio e quante ne ho fatte
@@lucacapezio we do it in the north too
A truckload, just for winter? Before she said winter, I was thinking.. a year? 🤣Nope.
Well now I know what the Italian families were doing in their garage and driveways when I lived in Toronto. It looked like so much fun, I wanted to volunteer to help. I'm going to have to try this myself. Thanks Pasta Grannies!

kckrye .
Got yourself one of those machines and start your own tradition here.
Sei il benvenuto..
You're welcome my friend in our Emilia Romagna!
There so smiley. There faces so happy. Can't help but love seeing people's smiles. ❤️❤️❤️
We do this here in Argentina!!!!!! Thanks nonna for teaching all my family how to do this ❤️❤️❤️❤️

As someone with 100% German heritage, we make our own sausage and sauerkraut together much like this. I think I'll add this to the mix. ♥️
My father makes this (he's italian) i use it with home made pasta, loads of fresh basil, salt, pepper & chicken that's been slowly cooked in my Kamado Joe.....trust me it's gorgeous !!!
So beautiful. How the families get together is fantastic! I’d love to join in and help out. ❤️
It's fun to see your grandmother cooking.🤗👍
I love traditions like this. When family and friends make food together that.

Ciao Rosa Aime, conosco molti italiani che tornano in Italia per le loro vacanze estive - e preparano la salsa di pomodoro 😊 best wishes, Vicky
La micidiale giornata per eccellenza. 😂.
Mi abuela en Chile hacía esto todos ños años. Tomates enteros y passata. Otro tiempo, otro ritmo de vida, pero el recuerdo perdura.
Making it at home.. in batches as the Tomatoes ripen.. phew its a lot of work but what a great feeling to have the harvests and then have some stored. Now, that is one brilliant community activity - everyone sharing the work so that they can enjoy the family Passata over the Winter months. They are looking so happy too, lovely video.
What magic did I just stumble upon?
Passata is the best base sauce for pasta, pizza, lasagna and bolognese. Delicious!
My family did this every summer!! My mom still does but on a smaller scale these days
But, we grew our own tomatoes. There truly isn’t anything like it.
Bei tempi quando ad agosto tutta la mia famiglia si ritrovava da mio zio Biagio e facevamo 3 giorni che neanche la Cirio può immaginare. La cosa più bella era la spaghettata finale col sugo appena fatto.

Love watching any episode of Pasta Grannies !!! I enjoy it so much !!!
I thought 'what a waste of tomatoes' until I reached 2:03. So glad I watched the entire video bc this was hugely informative. If I ever grow a large garden again I think I'll try this on my next big harvest. Thank you.!

Every southern family used to do that till 15 years ago. Now is less common, alas.
Watching granny stir the tomatoes makes me realize i think she is stronger than me, and i am a 55 year old irishman, but i think she could beat me at arm wrestling, lol, that is sad
It's a very good workout! Maybe this year you should try bottling tomatoes 😊 best wishes, Vicky
Pasta Grannies we do, but we call it canning here, even though they are put in jars, but they are not as good as san marzanos
My wiry old Irish boss, (who never seemed to eat or drink yet was always warm in winter and strong as an ox) used to say... there's vitamins, minerals and a sandwich in every pint.
Well, don't wrestle with an Italian mama. You're going to lose for sure. 😂
What a wonderful video! It really made me smile and I wish that I was working with them.
I can feel the smell from here!!! I love it!
I love love this show wow I just got my cookbook and I am ready. Thank you
I especially love the unity in European families!
These tomatoes look so wonderfully fresh and red, unlike some of our early picked tomatoes here in the USA!

Dry wine from the southwest of Sardinia. Just so you won’t be sad after waiting so long for a reply to your “quiz”. I wish I had some; don’t you?

almost 100 years old, and got no diseases. their methods simply prove that old style is way better than fast-food shity style cities been living.
You're right old style is better, but the "cities style" point you made is a fallacy most who live in the country side eat fast food and processed garbage because corporations have bought everything and small businesses can't fight back since their is such poverty.

It is without any doubt
I would love to join in on one of these tomato sauce making events.

Bravissime 🤗❤️👍🙏
Mi ricordo quando oltre 40 anni fa facevo la passata di pomodoro con mia nonna...♥️
Good job 👍😍😍😍
passata grannies! :)
My mother in law's neighbour did the same thing in Caracas, Venezuela. Signora M. made hundreds of bottles and I was lucky to get some every year.

VIVA ITALIA❤ BEST.
Grazie !!
I just did it the same yesterday.. 100 kg of tomato. I have sauce for 2 years. Cheap and good
Me and neighbours did the same. I went to the store and bought a truckload of tomato cans, divided them up. It will last us through the cold winter months.
Super😍👌

Questo video mi ha fatto lo stesso effetto di quelli sulla vendemmia; oramai non sono più un ragazzino e se ci sono cose che mi fanno tornare bambino sono queste, "fare i pomodori" (così diceva mia madre) e vendemmiare.
Erano feste enormi, famiglia, parenti, amici... tutti a "lavorare" (si fa per dire, era una gioia) e poi si festeggiava a forza di brace, bruschette, vino, balli e canzoni (che darei per rivivere quelle giornate).
Sry for italian I try to translate with google; this video made me the same effect like videos about harvest, I'm not more young and I'm back a child, I remember everything; family, relatives, friends, before the "work" (so to speak, that job was a joy) and then food, wine, music and dancing all together(I would pay gold to relive that days).
Thanks to those who thought, worked and created a channel like this.
I'm delighted the video brought back happy memories for you! best wishes, Vicky
Amazing people. Such hard workers. We here in America could take lessons.
Someone else is doing the work for you. God bless field and cannery workers.
Good for you that's Italy 🇮🇹
The children must had fun helping make the passata.I know i would have loved to help. Is all this for them or do they also have a business and sell some of it? Thank you Margarita
