Pomarola Sauce

Turned 9lbs of tomatoes (a few lbs from our garden, and more from a farm box) into 6 .75L jars of Pomorola for next year. Same as last year, I used a recipe from Salt Fat Acid Heat. Canned everything in a boiling water bath. Tomatoes being sliced

Pomarola Sauce

Canning went weird - the two taller cans looked totally full when I pulled them out, but they quickly settled down to normal (maybe a bit chunky looking).

I thought of refrigerating them, and was going to when they looked full (I assumed water had gotten in), but now that they've settled out I'm going to leave them out and double-check when opening.

There wasn't quite enough sauce to fill the small jar, so I added a bit (maybe 1/4 cup) of water to make it fit.

Adding notes on all of this directly to the jars.

Update 10/21- One of the jars unsealed while I was removing the clip. I think if I'd been more careful it would have been fine, but the clip grapped some of the gasket that was sticking out and pop! Oh well.

Pomarola Sauce

Turned out better - I let it emulsify for quite a while (15 minutes, maybe?) until the oil was really in. It seemed to work better.

Canned for 40 minutes, not 20 as in the recipe.
