50 lbs of Tomatoes---Canned Spaghetti Sauce {The Easy Way!}

Published 2022-08-04
Made from scratch canned spaghetti sauce doesn't have to be hard or use a ton of ingredients. This simple method is not only easy but delicious as well.

This time of year, tomatoes are everywhere, either neighbors giving them away, farmers markets flooded with them, or your garden is blessing you with loads of them.

A great way to use an abundance of tomatoes is making your own spaghetti sauce to have a delicious sauce all winter long.

This is one of my favorite things to make during the summer and makes your house smell absolutely amazing.

  • Please share all your turtle prevention remedies! Also let me know if you loved this recipe!
  • I had same things on mine and it was a hornworm and some other caterpillar. Found them at night with a black light.

    When it comes to cooking, gardening, and yes sometimes canning, as long as it’s safe, and works for you and your family, then that’s what you do! Keep on doing what you do for the good of you and your family!

    I caught birds flying in from the woods eating my tomatoes. I bought plastic netting from Amazon to put over mine.
  • Suggest you trim your tomato plants so there are no leaves/branches (thus tomatoes) hanging within 6 inches from the ground. The 'experts' tell you that you should be doing that anyway to prevent soil borne pathogens from infecting your plants. I've noticed that when I keep my tomato plants trimmed high off the ground I don't get leaf yellowing so bad. Rats love tomatoes too. Try putting out a pan of Dollar Store cake mix mixed 50/50 with baking soda. Rats and mice can't process baking soda (they can't burp), so they bloat up, run off and die (it's a cruel world). But it works... I've don't it. Love your channel!

    I've always blanched and peeled because my girls like it better. They're grown now, so it's good to know that other people dont mind the microscopic peels! 😅 thanks for showing your process!
  • I don’t peel my tomatoes either and I also use a variety. My Mam-ma taught me to do it that way because of the nutritional value you lose when you remove the skin!
  • @marthabowser501
    they look like mine...and I saw the groundhog in there munching away. he did the same with the zuchini.
  • Check for stripped off leaves and dark green little poops that'd be horn worms...look it up they a camophlaged pretty good.
  • Just made homemade spaghetti sauce yesterday with my home grown tomatoes and peppers 😃 I have that same pot and isn't it great to cook in! My momma canned in it and she gave it to me years ago. She has gone now to her forever home so I cherish it. I also made some hot mustard slaw out of some fresh cabbage, peppers, onions, from the garden and canned it. Some folks here in the south call it pool room slaw....it's so good on bbq, and hotdogs. Easy easy to make
  • Enjoyed watching! We just worked on using alot of our tomatoes for salsa last night.
  • @freesianlover
    I have a lot of wild turkeys also and i have a dog that likes to be outside. She does a great job keeping them away from the garden. Electric fencing has been successful in the past too.
  • I’ve heard of other folks having some problems with turtles in their gardens, but we never have. Good luck with that! The spaghetti sauce looks delicious. We love spaghetti around here. Thanks for sharing friend. 👍🏻🙏🏻😇❤️🙌🏻
  • @freesianlover
    I do it this way also!! 🙌For the exact same reason and you can NOT find the peel in the final product! If a person doesn’t like extra juice in their salsa I have strained the juice off Then can thick salsa and the liquid separately. The juice is awesome for chili, soups etc
  • @tpaw6908
    I did that straight into a crock pot let the tomatoes cook AWILE then hot out a immersion blender you couldn't tell. I let it cook done for paste etc. Then for years I've made and canned stewed tomatoes, then open 2 at jars 1 can paste , makes the sauce you add your seasoning add the meat or leave it on the side. I did 300lbs tomatoes 1/2 stewed half salsa 2021 . Thank you great video. Love when you just have to water bath and not skin tomatoes.
  • I don't peel my tomatoes either, I grind in food processor and then pour through strainer to catch seeds. Then put in pot. Much easier this way.
