2012 Mum's Sauce

[Jimmie the Mum]

Another year, another tradition in jarring the sauce. A yearly tribute to my mom. Not as many pics this year but I'm sure you get the jest of it:

Some of the plum tomatoes I purchased at the farm plus I used some of the ones I grew:







This is what I use to boil them:



In the pot:



Boiling until you can stick a fork in them:



Time to put them thru the machine:





Cooking the sauce for a few hours:

And that’s it for 2012, gravy for the year.

Wow, how long does that last? What all do you add, besides what looks to be Basil?

[Ari]

I was going to ask the same... What spices are in it? Basil? Anything else? I am getting hungry now, BBL after I raid the kitchen.

The jars will not go bad as long as they are properly sealed. Right now only basil is in them. When we open a jar or two for Sunday dinner then we add the rest of the ingredients and warm up the gravy.

Looks amazing as always Jimmie.

Jimmie, you forgot to label the jars!

[Ari]

Mark, that's the last time we send you to the printer's to get the labels done.. Actually that's "MUMDU"

[Tonto]

Looks good Jimmie!

How about doing a thread on how to prepare the jars and seal them?
