Sauce the easy way.

That time of the year again


 
Have buckets of Amish paste tomatoes in my garage. They are jumbos this year with many over 12 oz.


 
Time to breakout my Squeezo-Matic. About 30 years ago I bought a Gardenway Squeezo, welded up a stand, added a pulley, and motorized it.


 
You turn it on, put the tomatoes in the top and the skins and seeds come out the end.


 
The puree is separated and ready to be turned into sauce.


 
Got about 8 gallons of seed free puree in about a hour. Time to add the rest of the ingredients and cook down to about 4 gallons of sauce and then can to enjoy all winter. 8) 8)

The wife only has a Foley Food Mill. But it does just about the same thing. Just slower.

That's a whopper !

Your tomatoes are ripe already ??? I started them in March and they are just starting to turn something other than green.
I have 5 kinds. Couldn't find Amish Paste which I was impressed with last year but I have 'San Marzano' or something like that, that are supposed to be good .
3 kinds of Roma and 2 others.
I usually dry them; takes up less space.

We have been eating tomatoes from the garden for 3 weeks now. Baker Creek has the amish paste seeds.  Processed a couple of bushels of that size today plus Brandywines, Paul Robsens, Sungold,& Beefmasters. Mixing them up makes a great flavored sauce.  With all the rain lately the plants are starting to turn brown and die so the next couple of weeks we will be making sauce as the hundreds of pounds of tomatoes on the plants turn red.
