TOMATOES
THE REASON "JERRIE" HAS A TOMATO PAGE IS BECAUSE OF HER ITALIAN HERTAGE. HER GRANDPARENTS
CAME TO GEORGETOWN WITH HER MOTHER IN THE 1900's FROM TUSCANY, ITALY.
JERRIE HAS A STRONG LOVE OF "TOMATOES".

HOW TO PREPARE TOMATOES FOR CANNING
This
recipe is just how to prepare the tomatoes for canning. See MARY'S HOMESTEAD HANDBOOK for how to can the tomatoes.
Select fresh tomatoes at their best quality and flavor. Use tomatoes free of cracks, spots and growths, wash tomatoes
and drain them. Place the tomatoes in a bowl of bowling water. Blanch them 30 to 60 seconds or until the skins crack. Remove
them from the bowling water. Dip immediately into the cold water.
Slip off the skins of the tomatoes. Trim away
any greens areas. Leave whole or cut into halfs or quarters. Place them into a saucepan adding just enough water to cover.
Boil gently 5 minutes if you are doing hot pack.
If you are using the raw pack method you do not have
to boil the tomatoes.
Ideas to use your tomatoes: chile, lasagne, pasta, pizzi, stir fry them with winter squash
and bacon and use parmesan and romano cheese on pasta or Italian and Mexican recipes.
Buy tomatoes at your farmers
market or grow them in your garden. They are good fresh from the farm or homestead.
MARY'S HOMESTEAD uses no chemicals
and we grow everything we eat organic.
