I Never Thought I'd Live to Hate Tomatoes


Lord in heaven. How can it be that the amount of tomatoes I can pick in 45 minutes takes 3 days to process? I am heartily sick of tomatoes in all thier forms.


But I'm sure that will not be true come January.

Your method looks like its a great deal of HARD work. Our tomato press is electrically operated and the tomatoes go into the top, similar to a large mincer, then the juice and pulp comes out the side of a perforated stainless steel tube. The skins and seeds are expelled from the front of the tube, put back into the machine several times until there is no more pulp being pressed out. Whallah !! done !! pour into bottles, cap and put into preserving pan. The same motor also operates the mincer when we make our sausages etc. only this time it has mincer cutting blades and a sausage filling tube attached instead of the tomato press. This coming tomato season I shall be preserving a large batch as I'm down to the last few bottles I 'put down' 2 years ago.

Hmmm, I've never heard of a tomato press. Is it a juicer?

Hi again Aimee, No its not a juicer, I also use it to press the pulp from cooked quinces, crab apples or any other fruit to make paste, the type you serve with cheese. This thing makes the job so easy, the cooking juice is made into jelly. If you can wait I'll make a blog, but it will not be for quite a few months as our fruiting season doesn't start until Christmas time, tomato maybe not until February.
