Yesterday. Did 100 pounds of maters and ended up with about 40 quarts of juice. Did it in skinning shed where it was 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees outside. Took us one hour to cut up and run through grinder. Another 3 hours to get it botteled and sealed. Had the family helping and was a good time. Decided we didn't end up with enough quarts so gonna do another 100 pounds next Saturday. Thank god for that juicing attachment for the grinder. Sure speeds the process up. [Linked Image]

Kids are getting their secret spice recipe together for the next round. Makes great red beer and chaser for polio. Ain't bad drinking it straight too. They won't tell me what spices they use to make the mix, but it's got a just right bite to it. Think I'll get the younger girl cornered up and sic my killer hound on her till she comes across with the recipe. grin

If you got a grinder pcr, get a juicing attachment for it if you don't have one and you put up a lot of juice. They work slick and you can run through 100 pounds in a hour and never break a sweat.

That's great! Can you explain your process a little more white trash88? I'm fairly new to the canning process and trying to learn as much as I can. So that device appears to separate the juice from the pulp and you're only canning the juice? what do you do with the pulp? Is that primarily a beverage or is it a base for sauces such as pasta sauce?

If you want to get into canning,,get yourselfe the "Ball,,Complete Book Of Home Preserving" It is the Bible of anything for canning.Its like $14 through Amazon.You wont be sorry,,and all recipes are tried and true SAFE.

We discard the pulp critter. The juice we use in soup, chili,spaghetti,drinking and other recipes she has. Use a clean bucket to run the pulp into and when it gets full,run it back through the grinder a second time. You will get half again as much juice.

Thanks, you reminded me I was thinking last night while reading the threads on canning that I had bought a book last fall. Going to see if I can find it, maybe that's it.

Upstate is steering you right on the book. We quarter the maters up to make them go through the grinder easier. The juice we boil and then put in jars and boil again, take out and let cool. You don't have to boil it twice, but it tends not to separate as bad in the jars if you do it twice. Add a little viniger to your water when you put the jars in and it keeps your jars coming out clear and clean. Got to put a little canning salt in every jar too

Pretty awsome , she dislikes how heavy the grinder is but loves the speed and efficiency of it . Cleen up wasnt that bad . These particular tomatoes would have rotted if not for the strainer . We've had to go to her fathers house three times in the last 24 hours because he couldnt breathe . I baled 29 big bales of hay , helped my dad with some repairs , and still reduced 5 gallns of tomatoes to spaghetti sauce .

I didnt feel bad about the price of the unit and quality . If anybody has a suitable comercial grade grinder i recomend the cabelas strainer
