Tomatoes and Zucchini
(or Tomatoes and Okra)
(or Tomatoes and Okra)
Procedure. Wash tomatoes and 4 pounds of okra or zucchini if making a 7 quart batch and 2.5 pounds if you are making a 9 pint batch. These ratios have been tested for safety and altering them is not recommended. Dip tomatoes in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds or until skins split. Then dip in cold water, slip off skins, remove cores, and quarter. Trim stems from okra and slice into 1-inch pieces or leave whole. Slice or cube zucchini if used. Bring tomatoes to a boil and simmer 10 minutes. Add okra and zucchini and boil gently 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt to each quart, if desired. Fill jars with mixture, leaving 1-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process jars
Variation: You may add four or five pearl onions or two onion slices to each jar.
I placed sliced tomato in the hopper, (skins and all) and press the tomatoes with my fingers
and crank the handle.
The seeds and skins come out the front chute.
This is my first batch, I have made more since this was done:) Thank-you Abba! Glory to God on High~ JMJ ~Tina |
