More Ways of Preserving Tomatoes: Freezing Juice and Stewed Tomatoes
Tags: Cooking, Gardening, Preserving
.
By Michelle Fabio
.
A little while ago, we talked about freezing raw tomatoes, and here are some more preservation ideas to make the most of your tomato crop:
Freezing tomato juice.
After washing and trimming the stem ends from the tomatoes, cut into quarters or eighths. Simmer on the stove for about 5-10 minutes, then take off the heat and let sit for about an hour.
When they’re sufficiently cool to work with, press the pieces through a sieve or grinder so that you are separating the juice from the seeds and skin, which you can discard.
Pour into bags or containers, being sure to measure first so you know how much to defrost. Seal, label, and freeze.
You can also put the juice in ice cube trays for uniform serving sizes.
Freezing stewed tomatoes.
Wash, cut off the stem ends, and peel tomatoes, then put in pan and simmer for 10-20 minutes, covered. When finished, put pan in ice water to cool, then transfer tomatoes into storage containers, leaving about an inch at the top.
Seal, label, and freeze.
Happy freezing!

Here is a little thought that I like. It brings back precious memories of the time when Jim and Mary were growing up. What a wonderful time that LaVerne and I had. Dad
.
" My father used to play with my brother and I in the yard. mother would come out and say " you're tearing up the grass" " We are not raising grass," Dad would reply " we're raising boys."
.
Written by Harmon Kilsbrew.
.
This thought above almost brings tears to my eyes. Dad.
.
This is enough for this Tuesday morning. we all need to get down to buisness and do something good today, remember this day will never come again. let us use it in living for others not ourselves. One of my thoughts was " Many years of life are wasted living for thyself alone." and I am afraid that I have wasted a lot of years. I am going to try to do better with the little time that I have left. I hope that I can see you in the morning.

I know how much that most of you do not like monday mornings.But they most always turn out a lot better than we thought they would. So we do need to stop worring about them and just start off our day the same as any other day. I will do my part by having you a good hot cup of coffee or tea ready and waiting for you. And if it will help any I will be smiling as I serve you. It's ready now.

We hope that you will have time today to look at the two outdoor Cams above. They give you two different views of the tomato garden, the # 2 cams also gives you a good view of the bird bath. And we have this cam lighted at night. So when it is dark in Dad's tomato garden you will still be able to see the fountain. Try it out tonight and let me know what you think. DAD.

Here is my thought for the weekend.
