Canning tomatoes: The day after Lots of jars to wash! I'm so thankful for the food. Two pints didn't seal, which is disappointing (usually they all seal, or maybe just one doesn't!) but it will be a good excuse to have pizza a couple of times in the coming week. We haven't had pizza recently. :)  And a messy stove to clean. I went to bed as soon as the last canner came off last night, so today I'll be cleaning the stove! It's not always this messy from canning... I filled some of the pans too full. I know you don't have a lot of freezer space. Put the sauce in a gallon size baggie and freeze. Best if you can freeze it flat (shorter time "defrosting", which you can do in a pot of boiling water) I was going to say the sauce can probably stay at least 2 weeks, but this is fresh, no preservatives lol. I'd go w/a week. ~Jules..I need to login!  Sounds like a very busy, but rewarding day! Enjoy your sauce!!~Tanya - mama to 5 :)  Tomato sauces can be frozen. I've never frozen my pizza sauce, and since it contains some thickener (cornstarch or arrowroot) I'm not totally positive on the texture after being frozen, but it should definitely still be good even if not completely like fresh. :) But I freeze my chili and it usually contains cornstarch, and I never had a problem with it. But some of the ingredients are can goods, (the tomatoes, and beans.) Not sure if that makes a difference, or it might help. ~Jules The pizza sauce is only for pizza, but I combine pizza sauce with tomato soup to make a spaghetti sauce. It's a little thinner and has a slightly different taste that way. Our pizza sauce is pretty thick. If that's confusing, think of it this way: Pizza sauce = pizza Tomato soup = tomato soup Pizza sauce + tomato soup = spaghetti/lasagna sauce That is nice you can use it for other things.I have some friends and there garden is full of tomatoes still and saying we can have what ever is there.So I would like to try this recipe and I like that it is used for two things and two things we eat a lot of.Thanks :) I have froze plain tomato sauce before and did not like it.It is already thin and when you thaw it out it gets really watery.Other people may like it but we personally don't care for it. I always love my kitchen after canning tomatoes...I say sarcasticly, It always looks like a homicide took place! Have fun with the clean up!  I started my tomatoes from seed this year but most of them didn't make it. Probably a good thing though because they would have been whacked by the hail. Thankfully I canned quite a bit of tomatoes(diced, sauce, salsa) last year and it looks like they should last us at least to the end of this year if not a little longer. Looks like I might be able to can some beets but that will probably be about it for canning for me this summer/fall. Beautiful... Sadly I have gotten no tomatoes this year. Stuff Wow - what an amazing effort. Well done, I'm totally impressed. I've always wanted to try this - I just have to talk myself into it! :) Some of my jars will fit into my kitchen cupboards, but most of it will be stored in boxes on our enclosed porch. Not very convenient, but the jars need to be in a dark location and we don't really have one! And none of my pantry shelves would hold heavy jars, anyway. :) Your sauce looks great!!..And your stove looks like mine everytime I can! LOL... ~Laurie We do that when camping. If you put a thin layer of dish soap on the pots that are over the campfire, you can wipe the blacken mess off with a towel. to see all those full jars! Wow I am impressed! Way to go. I have some tomatoes to use up and I'm thinking of trying your recipe. Thanks! Post new comment |

You could just freeze the sauce from the two jars that didn't seal and enjoy them sometime later.
