I learned to can from my Great Aunt Mary. She canned everything her husband grew, and she canned everyday. I "helped" her, it was always early mornings, since there was no AC. After we finished for the day and cleaned up, we had cookies and milk together like two old ladies worn out from kitchen duties, no talking, just dipping cookies in milk and crunching away, happy with the day's work. . Sweet memories! And your sauce looks amazing!❤❤❤
A few years ago I started to become alarmed somewhat that homemade bread baking, canning, gardening etc. was going the way of the dinosaur. Its what drew me to your channel and others with similar content. Ive learned so much, so much watching you and Mr. Brown and I feel like the lessons taught are priceless. Thanks and God bless you guys. Shirley.
I canned spaghetti sauce a few months ago. We've all just gotten over being sick and are eating normal foods again. Tonight I wanted to fix something quick and easy. I opened a jar of our spaghetti sauce and boiled some noodles. Buttered some leftover hamburger buns to toast and dinner was done in the time it took to boil the pasta. Clean up was much easier too!!
My mom used to use hot dog and hamburger buns for garlic bread. I had a friend over one time and they were shocked you could even do that. Some people are so clueless. 😁
Hey Miss Lori, it would be so nice to see how you make spaghetti sauce out of can tomatoes. But this one really looked delicious as well. Thank you so much for what you and Mr Brown do. Take care stay safe and God bless y'all
I just went to our local farm today and purchased 75lbs of tomatoes along with an array of many other fruits and vegetables and will be canning tomato sauce this weekend and you are so right about the time it takes, but there is nothing like it and also with these times, I want my pantry full and ready for anything!!! I will be canning meat and other things also this weekend, A canning weekend!!! Love it God Bless and thank you for all that you share with us, you are a true inspiration!!💜💜🌈🌈
Mmm, I can smell that! I don’t cut an “x” in the bottom nor do I core them first. Just blanched and pull the skin and core. But, if you freeze them first, you don’t have to blanche- the skins slip right off when thawed. 🌺
My grandma taught me to freeze any leftover tomatoes that maybe you didn’t have time to can. I’d lay them in single file in gallon freezer bag. Later when making goulash or a quick sauce for spaghetti dinner ... run frozen tomatoes under running water, and in a second flat the skins fall off!!!! Grandma was a wise woman!!! 🥰♥️♥️♥️ Thank you, Lori will be trying your recipe this Fall. Looks delicious!!!! 🥰✝️🌿🕊🧎♀️📖♥️
Hi Miss Lori. That sauce looks wonderful!! I've canned for over 50 years and this is my first without a garden so I'm kind of homesick watching. I'm blessed and so happy to watch your videos. Thank you and God bless you and yours.
This looks fabulous Miss Lori! You mentioned you might do a video and share your recipe for spaghetti sauce using canned tomatoes, if fresh aren't available. I would very much appreciate that 💗!!
There is so much to be learned in this video! From blanching tomatoes (and the 😉 X mark trick) to stewing them down, making tomato sauce, turning that into delicious pasta sauce, and then the canning aspect of the process, there's something for everyone here. Of all the kitchen tips, though, the best takeaway from this video is at about 28:40...Mrs Lori knows the importance of priorities. To quote, she decided to let the sauce simmer all night because she "just ran out of time, had grandkids, had life..." We all need to learn how to adapt our schedules and plans for the times when LIFE HAPPENS! I see so many people push themselves to their limits and beyond... burnout is real and whether it's physical, mental or spiritual, we all need to call "timeout" when it's time to take care of ourselves. Thanks for sharing beyond your kitchen knowledge, Mrs. Lori...such a good life lesson right there!
I love the Pasta Grannies, that is how I grew up and taught me to make a sauce, my Italian grandmother (barely spoke English). Everyone has a favorite recipe, no wrong way no right way, thick or thin, meat or no meat, and always simmered all day with the lid cracked with the wooden spoon, that smell drifting through the house, my grandfather going to the pot to stir and dip a hunk of Italian (home made) bread to see how it was coming. The dining room table covered with home made pasta, drying. My grandmother canned over 100 jars of plum tomatoes every year, everyone on the block worked together, it was beautiful and bountiful, and I come close but never will my sauce be as good as hers. Such memories watching you, except my grandmother always wore a house coat and never an apron., enjoy your sauce.
My husband surprised me with a Weston tomato mill at the beginning of canning season. What a timesaver! No more blanching and peeling tomatoes for sauce. I cored and quartered the tomatoes, simmered to soften them and ran them through the mill. All the seeds and skin are removed and ready for making sauce. Thanks for your spaghetti sauce recipe, I’ll be making and canning it this weekend.
Its refreshing to see a couple that still loves each other !!..also to see how gentle your hubby is to you Miss Lauri...💖💖💖☺ This time of year for anyone who "cans" IS EXHAUSTING ! But....ohhh in the middle of winter...BOY ARE WE THANKFUL WE DID ALL THAT CANNING.... 💖☺😋
I came here looking for a recipe and found a lifestyle. I live in the country and I am a hunter who also preserves my harvest. This recipe looks fantastic. BTW I love your kitchen. God bless.
Miss Lori when Mr. Brown said that he can eat his spaghetti sauce with toast I kind of chuckled to myself. I can eat mine with a bowl of grits. It’s so good.
Rachelle Tate…when I’m making my sauce, and my kids and hubby get where they can hardly wait another minute to eat, I slice up some of my Italian bread, smear some sauce on each piece, and top with fresh grated Parmesan. My oldest daughter always likes her’s with about a tbsp of ricotta cheese and basil….delish!! I love seeing how other people do their Italian food. My own recipes are generations old, and I stick to the old rule of adding pork, beef, and veal for max flavor, except I can’t always afford the veal so I will try to substitute and use 2 different types of pork. I always make sausage, so I might add a cut up rack of ribs…usually a bout 12 ribs in 3 or 4 sections to fit in the pot. I love it better than veal anyway…sorry Nona! This recipe sounds so wonderful and I admire all the cooking that is made on this channel! Coming from NYC, ii don’t know much about Southern cooking, but have so much fun learning from this lovely, soft spoken lady. PS- one of my fave Italian cooking shows is found by searching Chef Pasquale. He is from Italy, just about so funny, and just about 80 years old. I hope you find him because it won’t take long to fall in love with him.
@@tericandeloro4082 Thank you Teri, I will look him up. I love watching videos of how other Nationalities cooks and prepares there foods. I forget the name of the woman but she’s an older Italian woman that will cook, it looks like hundreds of jars of tomato sauce. I also like to check out another TH-cam videos, called County life vlog in Azerbaijani . It’s so beautiful and serene.
I love to can, freeze, or make homemade ingredients. It’s fun, saves, money, and time. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I love how you video around your life with your husband and family in the background.
Putting tomatoes up is a all day process but SO MUCH BETTER than store bought. You make your sauce almost exactly like mine. And I’m a fennel lover also. Thanks Mrs. Lori
Lori I love watching all the amazing things you do and share with us. I have learned so much from y'all and truly appreciate it all. That big dipper spoon is awesome.
We made your spaghetti sauce today . No meat . The sauce taste’s delicious!! We got 8 1/2 qts. We got a new immersion blender to boot !! Thank you for all you do ❤️
Ms. Lori, please do your recipe for spaghetti sauce using purchased canned ingredients for those of us who cannot access fresh tomatoes for canning. Thank you. I just love watching you cook and can. I really use your recipes, too.
Miss Lori, I love watching your channel. It's almost like visiting with kin. My mom was raised in Brockwell, Arkansas and I have kin in Oxford, Melbourne, Harrison and many more places I can't remember back there. My sister and I drove back in 2013. We both would love to go back again. My mom is buried in the Owen's graveyard. Would love to visit her again. Thank you for everything you do. I sometimes watch twice just to here you voice.
Yes I'd appreciate a store canned tomato recipe for canning spaghetti sauce! I'm disabled and live in a small apartment so no garden and farmers market doesn't have much of a selection this year because gardens haven't produced like they normally have
Well, you may have heard this before, you don't need to cut an X on the bottoms. Just drop them into your water. I'm 71 and have been Canning for 51 years and have never cut the X you mentiond. I am also a master canner for the extension office. Just thought you'd like to know. Will save you a bit of time. Hugs 🤗
I use a raw mill that fits my kitchenaid. It removes the core, seeds, and skin and dumps them in one bowl, and the meat and juice goes into another. Then you just simmer as normal. It sure beats steaming up the house.
I believe it makes it easier to peel , My grandma was a master canner, She put a x on all her tomatoes I am my grandmas , granddaughter and love the X's
Wish so bad that we had that course in our area. I have petitioned for it but they say it’s not in the budget anymore. Such a shame with all the young ones coming up behind us. I am starting master gardener class this week. That’s all hats offered. Would much rather have master canner and preservation certification though.
Thank you Miss Lori!🙂 You were a trooper to get through that! 👍 It's always one of those things I love to do but so glad when it's done!😄 Last year I did what Heidi at Rain Country Homestead does. When the tomatoes first started coming on last year, I buzzed some in the blender and dehydrated it on silicone trays. I find myself reaching for the dried tomatoes for So many things! I'd forgotten to re-vacuum seal a jar, it turned hard as a rock so when I made the Dolly Parton soup, I let some of the broth dissolve the last of the tomato. Yum! Love and blessings! 💜
THIS IS A KEEPER! I made 24 8oz jars today and let me tell you it's delicious. The spice, the amounts and even the hamburger meat is absolutely on the spot. Thank you Ms. Lori. You sure are the BEST! 💐💙🙏 (Now I'm waiting on your chili recipe 🤣)
This video came at the right time! I’ve been canning a few pints of pasta/pizza sauce as soon as I get enough to be worth a batch.. here in SW Missouri, we’ve still been in the drought, and even with watering, my tomatoes have been slow to ripen. The birds and bugs have been getting to them way before they ripen, so I’ve resorted to picking them green or just beginning to blush, and ripening them in a paper bag in the house.. I’ve stumbled on a “recipe” for sauce that I’m happy with. I cook the quartered tomatoes down in my slow cooker overnight with garlic, onion, oregano, a couple of bay leaves, until the juice has thickened.. I remove the bay leaves and either stick blend them if I’ve removed the skins, or use the vita mix if I left the skins on. I also add a spoonful of beef bouillon, which makes a big difference in flavor.
I'm a single dad of two living out here in the woods of Missouri. This is the second canning recipe of yours. You're batting 100. Im a prepper but new to my new life of self sustained living. This is my second garden and first year of canning which big do all myself. Thank you for helping me keep our pantry healthy. God Bless you and your family. Let's go Brandon!
That is certainly a labor of love. Thank you for sharing your recipe, showing the reality of work involved, time required to prepare 30 lbs of canning tomatoes and your experience to tackle such a huge job. We love you Ms Lori!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I canned tomatoes, but I have never canned spaghetti sauce and today an Amish friend of mine gave me a bunch of tomatoes to make some spaghetti sauce. Thanks so much for showing each step. I love following your step by step presentation. This helps so much.
A couple of other ideas that I use with mine. An Italian Chef told me with making the sauce just like yours to put a splash of Balsamic vinegar in the sauce as it cooks. It adds an umami factor to it and you will never taste it. Just a deeper and richer flavor. I also have made this without the italian seasoning so that I have more options for the finished product like chili or taco soup etc. Cooking the sauce all day is never a bad thing! Thanks for showing us this as it is perfect timing with our gardens! You make it look so easy! 🍅🌹❤
Yum, that sauce looks so good! Years ago, when I was a very young girl with a baby, I made spaghetti sauce with just tomato paste and the dry packets. I’d love to can some, now! I’ve decided I’m going to buy a pressure canner as soon as I get a little extra $. LOVE watching you cook and preserve!
Someone else in comments asked about your cookbooks. I hope you do get more. I'd really like to get one. Waited too long to get one before. Thanks for all the great videos. Enjoy watching you both.
Watching you folks is so calming and restful, reminds me of my gran and pops they were always doing something preparing for the days ahead. I wish life was still the same, the way we live now is going to fast.
My friend and I started canning together a few yrs ago, we split the garden work, the costs, and the product as we both have chronic pain and could never do it alone. This yr we canned up 98 jars of pasta sauce because our tomatoes went crazy and our families requested us to make more this yr. We use my aunts recipe and daughter's family refuses to use the store bought sauce now. We have always uses large roasting pans to cook it in, it works great and frees up burners on the stove top!
I am half Italian.. all the Italian People in Walla Walla Wa, printed out a "my favorite recipes from my heritage" cookbook (plus l learned alot from my mom) Most of them were from the old country. But, it has recipes from butchering a pig to making wine and crustoli, a crispy desert/treat. We usually made them at Christmas. And something called tadidi..both have alcohol, wine in one and whisky in the other. But, the best is the cheesecake! No crust, baked w Ricotta cheese. Takes pretty much 24hrs to the finish and mostly refrigeration time. But, sooo worth it!
yesterday I cooked down a roaster full of tomatoes too. I cleaned out my freezers as well and added spinach, carrots, and green pepper from last season. I didn't have time to finish it today but the sauce is in the fridge waiting for me to cook the meat tomorrow and process. I often times will split my tomato process day into 2 days to make it easy on me. I also have to can up my green beans. I filled a whole 7 qt pot of green beans 2 days ago. It has rained the past days so Im gonna check tomorrow if I have any more that need to come off and Ill can them up on Wednesday. My garden has me so busy!!! I put up several gallon bags filled of breaded squash for the winter. I love your recipe of frying the squash! I grew extra squash of all sorts just so I could freeze it ready to fry!
Hi Miss Lori, I also am taking some vacation time this week and want to try this recipe for sure! I’m hoping our farmer’s market will have some good Louisiana creole tomatoes. This year was my first time trying to grow them and it was a miss/ great learning opportunity 😃 Thank you so much for your videos and letting us all in to moments in your lives. You are a blessing!
Thank you for sharing this recipe with us, it looks delicious! I put up 12 quarts of spaghetti sauce this week and I’m looking forward to enjoying it this winter ❤ love spending time with you in the kitchen. God Bless you and your family
I am positively using your recipe. I have tried canning and nothing comes out good. So depressing as I loved my aunts canned dill pickles. So I just been freezing my food in bags. So I'll make it and freezer bag this yummy spaghetti sauce. Thanks for showing us how to make this Ms Lori.🥰
I really enjoyed watching you can your spaghetti sauce , It looked so delicious in the jars, & spaghetti & Garlic Bread looked so good . God bless you & Mr. Brown. Well look forward to the next video .
I watch “pasta grannies too”. I love watching them. In an Italian household you wake up on Sunday morning to sausage, beef bracioles, and maybe other pork pieces being cooked. Meatballs bring fried in another pan. The sauce would simmer for hours with the meats and the drained meatballs. It was so good.
I think this would make a great base for hamburger stew as well, just boil up some potatoes,carrots, and celery and add the sauce for a good hearty hamburger stew/soup. Perfect for a crisp fall supper with some homemade crusty bread. ❤ Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!
I have never canned but I watched my mamaw and mom and aunts so and you so in my 60’s now I make everything from scratch but never canned but now I am and Mr Brown was a fine helper
Yum! Im collecting tomatoes from the neighbors until we have our beds in. Im Italian, this looks a lot like my Nana’s & mom’s sauce, gravy for us Italians. As always, This looks yummy sweets!
Hi miss Lori, greetings from NYC! I love watching your videos. I always feel confident that if I make something from one of your recipes that it will taste great, and if I can it, it will be safe. You make me feel confident that I can do this! I have made a few of your recipes so far and they have been fabulous. Especially the black bean burgers and toffee! YUM! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ♥
I so love your videos. You cook so much the same way my mom taught me. Your videos bring me great memories. Oh, that was years ago. I'm a young 78 years young. God bless you and your husband..
First chance I get I think I want to try this recipe Miss Lori. Thank you for doing this. I watched your video on canning turkey I'm new to all of this but I can to turkey turned out great I also canned pinto beans and Great Northern beans. I've been watching you and Mr Brown along with homestead heart and I'm learning a lot of new things and I think all of you for that.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! My daughter has been wanting to can some pasta sauce! Now I have a recipe from a professional! Thank you again!
I love your Videos..... I have been canning for decades... it is an almost lost-art.... no one I know cans any more... but one more thing I started to do is Freeze-Dry.... I do this with so many things now.... including tomato sauce .... powder it into a jar (1 quart of dry tomato sauce is a gallon of wet) ... it stores for 25 years like the MRE's....
Oh Ms. Lori, thank you! I love canning homemade sauce. God Bless Mr. Brown, he loves you so much! I love your big spoon! I have looked everywhere. Living in Fla. it is hard. I am freezer cooking meals as Sept. 28th I go in for back surgery. Being caregiver for 2 family members ( daughter with Epilepsy), so preparing & getting as much as I can do done is quite a challenge! I pray daily to our Lord for peace in my heart, patience, & strength. I find myself feeling lonely. Being a widow of 9 years is a constant prayer. Your sauce looks wonderful!!!! Love & Blessings from Fla.
Last year my tomato plants looked terrible but produced tomatoes, this year my plants look super healthy but not one tomato (I take that back, 1 small one that a critter ate). I am stumped.
My neighbor sprayed their lawn with weed killer and seriously hurt my tomatoes. I went to a local farmers market and went to the “ripe “ area and bought some very nice tomatoes for sauce. Great price, beautiful tomatoes. My canner has been going all morning.
I've been watching you to teach me how to successfully can & freeze green beans .I've tried and always get a FAIL! I know you'll have the answer! THANK YOU MISS LORI.
Yes please! Would like to see how you make sauce from canned tomatos. For the pastctwo years my garden has been devestated by chipmunks, squirrels and gophers. Will bee looking forward to it!
What a labor of love Miss Lori. I could almost smell it. It looks so delicious and must of been real nice to enjoy some lunch out of it as well. Definitely comforting to know when your pantry is full and so helpful on the nights you just need to throw something together quick. Thank you for the great video. 🥰
Looks delicious Mrs. Lori. Gods blessings this country's is in a mess I keep all in my prayers. Thank you and Mr. Brown I'm so happy God is unite same like people .
Thank you for your recipe. When my tomatoes come in, I’ll make some. We had a very late spring and my tomatoes are just now setting on. I have 9 plants, 5 have tomatoes on them. God Bless you both.
It was fun watching you make your sauce from fresh tomatoes. Thank you for guiding folks to safe canning by telling them if they add other veggies like zucchini and peppers they need to pressure can. It is distressing to see other TH-camrs show water bath canning spaghetti sauce that is loaded with low-acid veggies. So unsafe! I normally buy the #10 cans of tomato products because my garden is really small but like you I go by the safe canning guidelines for poundage of tomatoes in spaghetti sauce guidelines. Hubby loves my spaghetti sauce but my seasonings are a bit different than anybody else's. I season the way you do and you know that is how we get the sauce that our family's love. We do like mushrooms so I add a lot of them well chopped and it helps bulk the sauce up so I don't have to use more than five pounds of ground beef. We could sure buy commercial sauce (without meat) cheaper but this way there are no funky chemicals and it is the taste profile we like. I normally like to do two canner loads of meat sauce for us for the year and what a blessing to have it in the pantry. Thank you for going to all the extra trouble to film your sauce recipe and process for us all. Be blessed each time you crack open a jar of your lovely sauce.
Hi Miss Lori, I would love to see your video making spaghetti sauce from canned tomatoes. This one looks so delicious, it makes me want to grow my own tomatoes! I made your oven rotisserie chicken the other night and both my husband and I loved it! My house smelled so good while it was cooking too!
Wonderful memories watching you prepare the tomatoes, I have never made canned spaghetti sauce I have made and helped my Mom and Gram make canned tomato juice and chili sauce. Your recipe for the Spaghetti sauce with meat looks delicious.
Yummy! Thanks Ms. Lori! Everything you make looks so delicious! I love watching your canning videos, and all your videos! You teach us in ways that are easy to understand! And canning is a great way to save $. God bless you and your family! 🥰
Home canned everything is always the best. I love making homemade Spaghetti Sauce. Nothing better! Yum! As always thanks for you great tutorial. I do love the way you used your toaster for this. I use it for apple butter but now will be doing my spaghetti sauce in it also. God Bless you both . Happy canning ❤
Your spaghetti sauce looks delicious! We have canned some, but never thought about putting meat in it when processing it. Thanks for the idea! I laughed when Mr. Brown said he thought he could probably eat it on some toast. LOL 😆🤣
I don’t can, no one in my family line did, so I had no one to teach me. I still love to watch your videos, I enjoy them, it’s like hanging out with family. Love it when Mr Brown pops in and hearing your grandkids. I will look for your recipe and try and make your spaghetti sauce, it looks pretty yummy! God bless you all beyond measure in Jesus name I pray!🙏🏻
I learned to can from my Great Aunt Mary. She canned everything her husband grew, and she canned everyday. I "helped" her, it was always early mornings, since there was no AC.

My husband surprised me with a Weston tomato mill at the beginning of canning season. What a timesaver! No more blanching and peeling tomatoes for sauce. I cored and quartered the tomatoes, simmered to soften them and ran them through the mill. All the seeds and skin are removed and ready for making sauce.
Thanks for your spaghetti sauce recipe, I’ll be making and canning it this weekend.
Your husband is a keeper! 🙂
God bless!
I have a Foley food mill that my Mom had. Love it!
Its refreshing to see a couple that still loves each other !!..also to see how gentle your hubby is to you Miss Lauri...💖💖💖☺
This time of year for anyone who "cans" IS EXHAUSTING !
But....ohhh in the middle of winter...BOY ARE WE THANKFUL WE DID ALL THAT CANNING....

Ms. Lori, please do your recipe for spaghetti sauce using purchased canned ingredients for those of us who cannot access fresh tomatoes for canning. Thank you. I just love watching you cook and can. I really use your recipes, too.
Miss Lori, I love watching your channel. It's almost like visiting with kin. My mom was raised in Brockwell, Arkansas and I have kin in Oxford, Melbourne, Harrison and many more places I can't remember back there. My sister and I drove back in 2013. We both would love to go back again. My mom is buried in the Owen's graveyard. Would love to visit her again. Thank you for everything you do. I sometimes watch twice just to here you voice.
Yes I'd appreciate a store canned tomato recipe for canning spaghetti sauce! I'm disabled and live in a small apartment so no garden and farmers market doesn't have much of a selection this year because gardens haven't produced like they normally have
Well, you may have heard this before, you don't need to cut an X on the bottoms. Just drop them into your water. I'm 71 and have been Canning for 51 years and have never cut the X you mentiond. I am also a master canner for the extension office. Just thought you'd like to know. Will save you a bit of time. Hugs 🤗
I use a raw mill that fits my kitchenaid. It removes the core, seeds, and skin and dumps them in one bowl, and the meat and juice goes into another. Then you just simmer as normal. It sure beats steaming up the house.
I believe it makes it easier to peel ,
My grandma was a master canner,
She put a x on all her tomatoes
I am my grandmas , granddaughter and love the X's
I tend to do things the old way I guess
@@WthrLdy do you have a link for that or know exactly what that attachment is called?
Wish so bad that we had that course in our area. I have petitioned for it but they say it’s not in the budget anymore. Such a shame with all the young ones coming up behind us. I am starting master gardener class this week. That’s all hats offered. Would much rather have master canner and preservation certification though.
Thank you Miss Lori!🙂 You were a trooper to get through that! 👍 It's always one of those things I love to do but so glad when it's done!😄
Last year I did what Heidi at Rain Country Homestead does. When the tomatoes first started coming on last year, I buzzed some in the blender and dehydrated it on silicone trays. I find myself reaching for the dried tomatoes for So many things! I'd forgotten to re-vacuum seal a jar, it turned hard as a rock so when I made the Dolly Parton soup, I let some of the broth dissolve the last of the tomato. Yum!
Love and blessings! 💜
Yes please show us how to use store bought canned tomatoes. Thank you for sharing everything that you do.
Hi Miss Lori, Thank you for being the go to once again for the canning season. I can always count on your for delicious canning videos.
THIS IS A KEEPER! I made 24 8oz jars today and let me tell you it's delicious. The spice, the amounts and even the hamburger meat is absolutely on the spot. Thank you Ms. Lori. You sure are the BEST! 💐💙🙏
(Now I'm waiting on your chili recipe 🤣)
Oh good!!!!!
Yes! I have store bought canned tomatoes (I’m disabled and in an apartment). I would love your sauce recipe.
This video came at the right time! I’ve been canning a few pints of pasta/pizza sauce as soon as I get enough to be worth a batch.. here in SW Missouri, we’ve still been in the drought, and even with watering, my tomatoes have been slow to ripen. The birds and bugs have been getting to them way before they ripen, so I’ve resorted to picking them green or just beginning to blush, and ripening them in a paper bag in the house.. I’ve stumbled on a “recipe” for sauce that I’m happy with. I cook the quartered tomatoes down in my slow cooker overnight with garlic, onion, oregano, a couple of bay leaves, until the juice has thickened.. I remove the bay leaves and either stick blend them if I’ve removed the skins, or use the vita mix if I left the skins on. I also add a spoonful of beef bouillon, which makes a big difference in flavor.
I'm a single dad of two living out here in the woods of Missouri. This is the second canning recipe of yours. You're batting 100. Im a prepper but new to my new life of self sustained living. This is my second garden and first year of canning which big do all myself. Thank you for helping me keep our pantry healthy. God Bless you and your family. Let's go Brandon!
Thank you for your kind words.
Just do a little at a time, dont let it over whelm you
Anything you put up helps,
Happy Gardening, and canning!
That is certainly a labor of love. Thank you for sharing your recipe, showing the reality of work involved, time required to prepare 30 lbs of canning tomatoes and your experience to tackle such a huge job. We love you Ms Lori!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I canned tomatoes, but I have never canned spaghetti sauce and today an Amish friend of mine gave me a bunch of tomatoes to make some spaghetti sauce. Thanks so much for showing each step. I love following your step by step presentation. This helps so much.
I have sound. Your sauce looks beautiful! I'm so ready to be able to start canning again. Love you Miss Lori! 🥰
👋🏼😘❤️
@@Eyes2C. hey girl! 🥰❤
A couple of other ideas that I use with mine. An Italian Chef told me with making the sauce just like yours to put a splash of Balsamic vinegar in the sauce as it cooks. It adds an umami factor to it and you will never taste it. Just a deeper and richer flavor. I also have made this without the italian seasoning so that I have more options for the finished product like chili or taco soup etc. Cooking the sauce all day is never a bad thing! Thanks for showing us this as it is perfect timing with our gardens! You make it look so easy! 🍅🌹❤
That's a lot of spaghetti sauce. Great job!
It looks delicious! and I know about you being tired, i love to cook but it can wear me out sometimes! Thank you for the recipe!
I love watching you and Mr.Brown no matter what y’all are doing!
Yum, that sauce looks so good! Years ago, when I was a very young girl with a baby, I made spaghetti sauce with just tomato paste and the dry packets. I’d love to can some, now! I’ve decided I’m going to buy a pressure canner as soon as I get a little extra $. LOVE watching you cook and preserve!
Thank you, Happy canning!
Someone else in comments asked about your cookbooks. I hope you do get more. I'd really like to get one. Waited too long to get one before. Thanks for all the great videos. Enjoy watching you both.
I'm sold out, again! I'm sorry
I'm not sure if more will be printed
I'm wanting to work on another one this winter
I appreciate you explaining the canning process and recipes. It’s something I do want to try.
This is my favorite vlog from you. I really need this . Im canning tomatoes today.
Watching you folks is so calming and restful, reminds me of my gran and pops they were always doing something preparing for the days ahead. I wish life was still the same, the way we live now is going to fast.
My friend and I started canning together a few yrs ago, we split the garden work, the costs, and the product as we both have chronic pain and could never do it alone.
This yr we canned up 98 jars of pasta sauce because our tomatoes went crazy and our families requested us to make more this yr. We use my aunts recipe and daughter's family refuses to use the store bought sauce now.
We have always uses large roasting pans to cook it in, it works great and frees up burners on the stove top!
Wonderful!
I am half Italian.. all the Italian People in Walla Walla Wa, printed out a "my favorite recipes from my heritage" cookbook (plus l learned alot from my mom) Most of them were from the old country. But, it has recipes from butchering a pig to making wine and crustoli, a crispy desert/treat. We usually made them at Christmas. And something called tadidi..both have alcohol, wine in one and whisky in the other.
But, the best is the cheesecake! No crust, baked w Ricotta cheese. Takes pretty much 24hrs to the finish and mostly refrigeration time. But, sooo worth it!
Your kitchen is completely stocked with everything people dream of having. God bless you and yours
All that lovely sauce just waiting to be eaten up, delicious.
yesterday I cooked down a roaster full of tomatoes too. I cleaned out my freezers as well and added spinach, carrots, and green pepper from last season. I didn't have time to finish it today but the sauce is in the fridge waiting for me to cook the meat tomorrow and process. I often times will split my tomato process day into 2 days to make it easy on me. I also have to can up my green beans. I filled a whole 7 qt pot of green beans 2 days ago. It has rained the past days so Im gonna check tomorrow if I have any more that need to come off and Ill can them up on Wednesday. My garden has me so busy!!! I put up several gallon bags filled of breaded squash for the winter. I love your recipe of frying the squash! I grew extra squash of all sorts just so I could freeze it ready to fry!
Hi Miss Lori, I also am taking some vacation time this week and want to try this recipe for sure! I’m hoping our farmer’s market will have some good Louisiana creole tomatoes. This year was my first time trying to grow them and it was a miss/ great learning opportunity 😃
Thank you so much for your videos and letting us all in to moments in your lives. You are a blessing!
Yummy! I can almost smell the sauce! Many Blessings!
Thank You ! Such a labor of LOVE. Your family is blessed to have you .
You are both such a beautiful blessing and great teachers. I love Mr.Brown’s Bible studies and I have learned so much from Miss Lori ‘s kitchen 🙏🙏🙏💕💕
Thank you for sharing this recipe with us, it looks delicious! I put up 12 quarts of spaghetti sauce this week and I’m looking forward to enjoying it this winter ❤ love spending time with you in the kitchen. God Bless you and your family
I am positively using your recipe. I have tried canning and nothing comes out good. So depressing as I loved my aunts canned dill pickles. So I just been freezing my food in bags. So I'll make it and freezer bag this yummy spaghetti sauce. Thanks for showing us how to make this Ms Lori.🥰
I really enjoyed watching you can your spaghetti sauce , It looked so delicious in the jars, & spaghetti & Garlic Bread looked so good . God bless you & Mr. Brown. Well look forward to the next video .
I watch “pasta grannies too”. I love watching them. In an Italian household you wake up on Sunday morning to sausage, beef bracioles, and maybe other pork pieces being cooked. Meatballs bring fried in another pan. The sauce would simmer for hours with the meats and the drained meatballs. It was so good.
I think this would make a great base for hamburger stew as well, just boil up some potatoes,carrots, and celery and add the sauce for a good hearty hamburger stew/soup. Perfect for a crisp fall supper with some homemade crusty bread. ❤ Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!
I enjoy watching you can & cook. Thanks for all you do.
Love canning tomato anything, but such a great idea to add meat to get it shelf stable! 🧡
I have never canned but I watched my mamaw and mom and aunts so and you so in my 60’s now I make everything from scratch but never canned but now I am and Mr Brown was a fine helper
I would love some of those tomato’s! They look so good!
Yum! Im collecting tomatoes from the neighbors until we have our beds in. Im Italian, this looks a lot like my Nana’s & mom’s sauce, gravy for us Italians. As always, This looks yummy sweets!
Gravy for us Italians... You put a smile on my face sister.havent heard anyone say that in a while.
@@ravenraven966 Awww I’m glad you smiled! Have a bella notte. Ciao 👋🏼❤️
Ms Lori, that really looks wonderful. And, the joy you feel knowing you grew it and put it up is a great feeling to have. Makes me so hungry! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Hi miss Lori, greetings from NYC! I love watching your videos. I always feel confident that if I make something from one of your recipes that it will taste great, and if I can it, it will be safe. You make me feel confident that I can do this! I have made a few of your recipes so far and they have been fabulous. Especially the black bean burgers and toffee! YUM! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ♥
I enjoyed spending time with you while you canned. ❤
I so love your videos. You cook so much the same way my mom taught me. Your videos bring me great memories. Oh, that was years ago. I'm a young 78 years young. God bless you and your husband..
Thanks so much
Love homemade spaghetti sauce. Love your videos.
First chance I get I think I want to try this recipe Miss Lori. Thank you for doing this. I watched your video on canning turkey I'm new to all of this but I can to turkey turned out great I also canned pinto beans and Great Northern beans. I've been watching you and Mr Brown along with homestead heart and I'm learning a lot of new things and I think all of you for that.
Thank you for sharing Miss Lori have a blessed evening stay safe and healthy .🙏❤🙏❤🙏
I ENJOY EVERY VIDEO SO MUCH...LOVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA....
I love fennel. It really adds so much flavor but not overpowering.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! My daughter has been wanting to can some pasta sauce! Now I have a recipe from a professional! Thank you again!
I love your Videos..... I have been canning for decades... it is an almost lost-art.... no one I know cans any more... but one more thing I started to do is Freeze-Dry.... I do this with so many things now.... including tomato sauce .... powder it into a jar (1 quart of dry tomato sauce is a gallon of wet) ... it stores for 25 years like the MRE's....
Oh Ms. Lori, thank you! I love canning homemade sauce. God Bless Mr. Brown, he loves you so much! I love your big spoon! I have looked everywhere. Living in Fla. it is hard. I am freezer cooking meals as Sept. 28th I go in for back surgery. Being caregiver for 2 family members ( daughter with Epilepsy), so preparing & getting as much as I can do done is quite a challenge! I pray daily to our Lord for peace in my heart, patience, & strength. I find myself feeling lonely. Being a widow of 9 years is a constant prayer. Your sauce looks wonderful!!!! Love & Blessings from Fla.
Prayers for your surgery,
God Bless and Keep your family,
Take care, xoxoxo
I want to say thank you, because of ghee video. I canned 20 pints of it.
I need to look at Ghee vid
Wonderful
My tomatoes did not make much this year so I would love to see how you make your sauce with bought, canned tomatoes.
Leah, Besides myself, I know a good handful of people whose tomatoes didn’t make it this year. Very odd. 😞
Last year my tomato plants looked terrible but produced tomatoes, this year my plants look super healthy but not one tomato (I take that back, 1 small one that a critter ate). I am stumped.
My neighbor sprayed their lawn with weed killer and seriously hurt my tomatoes. I went to a local farmers market and went to the “ripe “ area and bought some very nice tomatoes for sauce. Great price, beautiful tomatoes. My canner has been going all morning.
I love your channel. And also, the variety of things you make and share with us.
Both you and Mr. Brown are a "Treasure"! So much experience and knowledge. So willing to teach and share! Thank you!
I've been watching you to teach me how to successfully can & freeze green beans .I've tried and always get a FAIL! I know you'll have the answer! THANK YOU MISS LORI.
Yes please! Would like to see how you make sauce from canned tomatos. For the pastctwo years my garden has been devestated by chipmunks, squirrels and gophers. Will bee looking forward to it!
What a labor of love Miss Lori. I could almost smell it. It looks so delicious and must of been real nice to enjoy some lunch out of it as well. Definitely comforting to know when your pantry is full and so helpful on the nights you just need to throw something together quick. Thank you for the great video. 🥰
I love watching pasta grannies too ❤️❤️❤️
Looks delicious Mrs. Lori. Gods blessings this country's is in a mess I keep all in my prayers. Thank you and Mr. Brown I'm so happy God is unite same like people .
I just love your vedios 💕 you an Mr Brown are great people sending lots of love from Ohio ❤️
Thank you for your recipe. When my tomatoes come in, I’ll make some. We had a very late spring and my tomatoes are just now setting on. I have 9 plants, 5 have tomatoes on them. God Bless you both.
It was fun watching you make your sauce from fresh tomatoes. Thank you for guiding folks to safe canning by telling them if they add other veggies like zucchini and peppers they need to pressure can. It is distressing to see other TH-camrs show water bath canning spaghetti sauce that is loaded with low-acid veggies. So unsafe! I normally buy the #10 cans of tomato products because my garden is really small but like you I go by the safe canning guidelines for poundage of tomatoes in spaghetti sauce guidelines. Hubby loves my spaghetti sauce but my seasonings are a bit different than anybody else's. I season the way you do and you know that is how we get the sauce that our family's love. We do like mushrooms so I add a lot of them well chopped and it helps bulk the sauce up so I don't have to use more than five pounds of ground beef. We could sure buy commercial sauce (without meat) cheaper but this way there are no funky chemicals and it is the taste profile we like. I normally like to do two canner loads of meat sauce for us for the year and what a blessing to have it in the pantry. Thank you for going to all the extra trouble to film your sauce recipe and process for us all. Be blessed each time you crack open a jar of your lovely sauce.
Hi Miss Lori, I would love to see your video making spaghetti sauce from canned tomatoes. This one looks so delicious, it makes me want to grow my own tomatoes! I made your oven rotisserie chicken the other night and both my husband and I loved it! My house smelled so good while it was cooking too!
I like your hair cut it looks great. Thanks for the tomato pilling information. Have a great day. I no it’s hard work.
Wonderful memories watching you prepare the tomatoes, I have never made canned spaghetti sauce I have made and helped my Mom and Gram make canned tomato juice and chili sauce. Your recipe for the Spaghetti sauce with meat looks delicious.
Please do a video for Spaghetti sauce using store bought canned tomatoes
Yummy! Thanks Ms. Lori! Everything you make looks so delicious! I love watching your canning videos, and all your videos! You teach us in ways that are easy to understand! And canning is a great way to save $. God bless you and your family! 🥰
Home canned everything is always the best. I love making homemade Spaghetti Sauce. Nothing better! Yum! As always thanks for you great tutorial. I do love the way you used your toaster for this. I use it for apple butter but now will be doing my spaghetti sauce in it also.
God Bless you both . Happy canning ❤
Wonderful! Thank you
Love me some Pasta Grannies from Italy. I’m happy I joined your family. God Bless.
Thank you
Ms. Lori, this does look delicious.Thank you for sharing with us. hugs n love for you both and many blessings to you two.
Thank you
Your spaghetti sauce looks delicious! We have canned some, but never thought about putting meat in it when processing it. Thanks for the idea! I laughed when Mr. Brown said he thought he could probably eat it on some toast. LOL 😆🤣
I don’t can, no one in my family line did, so I had no one to teach me. I still love to watch your videos, I enjoy them, it’s like hanging out with family. Love it when Mr Brown pops in and hearing your grandkids. I will look for your recipe and try and make your spaghetti sauce, it looks pretty yummy! God bless you all beyond measure in Jesus name I pray!🙏🏻
I appreciate that
Old school soul good started me to canning and I love it. He sent me to your channel. I love watching you cook. 👍🏽
Thank you
