Imagine being able to enjoy the taste of tomatoes ripened in the middle of winter, without losing a crumb of their flavor. Do you have fresh tomatoes at your fingertips? So why not turn them into delicious homemade preserves that will feast you for months? Discover this simple and effective method of prolonging their freshness.
Why prepare your canned tomatoes?
Making your own cans of tomatoes is a bit like capturing summer in a jar. You can say goodbye to industrial sauces and give your dishes an authentic, rich and natural flavor. Home-made preserves are not only more economical, but also control each ingredient. No more additives and preservatives.
In France, preparing canned food is a culinary tradition that is transmitted from generation to generation. Nothing could be more satisfying than enjoying a home-made tomato sauce on a dish of smoking pasta, even in the middle of winter.
How to choose the ideal tomatoes?
Not all tomatoes are the same when it comes to preparing canned food. For an optimal result:
Choose fleshy varieties like Roma or San Marzano, rich in pulp and poor in water.
Make sure they are ripe, with smooth skin and a uniform colour. A good indicator? The stem easily detaches from the fruit.
Buy them in season: summer is still the best time to enjoy tasteful and inexpensive tomatoes.
Tip: If you buy them from your early weather, let them mature for a few more days before using them for an even more intense taste.
