material / Ingredients :
· Glass canning jar with two - part lids ( lid plus ring ) , 8 jar per gallon of sauce
· big timpani
· potentiometer / Pan
· Clean cloths
· Optional : funnel shape
· Optional : atmospheric pressure canner
· Homegrown tomatoes ( as many as you require to make into sauce )
provision :
launder your jars well . This step can be ideally completed by timing the jars to come out of the dishwashing machine just as you are ready to laden the sauce into them so that they ’ll be clean and already hot ( cold shabu can crack or break when receiving hot contents ) . Cook your love apple sauce as you unremarkably would ( see the sidebar if you do n’t already have a recipe ) , omitting meat product ( it is high-risk and more detailed to can food for thought with meat int hem , so you may take on that project when you ’re more advanced ) . you could put in herbs and flavourer or just tomatoes , depending on how you ’ll utilise the sauce . Because we apply ours in chilly , as spaghetti sauce , as pizza pie sauce , and in salsa , I use plain Lycopersicon esculentum and add the seasoning after I spread the jars . Put the flat lids for the jars into a small pan of boiling pee to sterilize them and soften the rubber rim . originate a adult kettle ( big enough to hold at least one or two jars to the full submerge under gurgle water ) of weewee boil on the stove . satiate each of the hot , clean jar with sauce no high than where the “ shoulders ” of the jar become the vertical mouth edges ( this air spread is promise the headspace ) . If you have a wide - mouth funnel , use it ; otherwise , any spills on the lip or threads of the jar should be pass over off with a clean , damp cloth before lidding . localize a blistering lid on top of each cleaned - off jarful and screw on the rings , tighten to “ thumb tight ” ( a full term that always warrants give-and-take — don’t turn it tightly , just screw it on as firmly as you would a regular jounce lid ) . When all of the jars are full , office as many as you may into the timpani of boiling water , making certain that the simmering water cover each jar fully . Keep the water at a furuncle for twenty minute ( boiling time varies depending on the type of food you ’re preserving ) . get rid of the shock from the bath and let them sit down on the counter until cool . When in good order seal , the lids should be sucked down tightly onto the jar . You might hear the telltale “ Ping River ” of the sucking as the jars cool . promote mildly on each lid before you remove the doughnut to make indisputable it does n’t spring — a properly seal jar should have a taut , invert lid . Reprocess each improperly sealed jar , if any , by remove and wiping off the lid , anchor ring , and jar brim ; replacing the hat and ring ; and boiling the jar for another twenty minutes . instead , you could refrigerate these jars and employ their contents within a week . Remove the rings from the properly varnish jar and tag them with the month , twenty-four hours , and year . stash away them in a coolheaded , dark environment for up to a year ( enough time for the next Lycopersicon esculentum harvest ! ) .
