First of all, thank you OP for posting my dads video on here!! I was checking his YouTube this morning, and I'm like where did all these subs come from! Really happy that everyone is enjoying the video :)
I don't mean to hijack this thread in any way, but someone else did mention that he did have a 360 video version of his sauce, and I wanted to include it here as well. In addition to that, last summer my fiancee and I went to my dads home town Orsara di Puglia to create another 360 video about making tomato sauce and the drought that was going on. My dad is at the mid point of the video making his homemade sauce.
Salute and cin cin! And remember No sweat, no sauce!
I remember my mother having to have surgery right before her roma tomatoes came in. The patio table was stacked 3 feet high with them - about 100 pounds; maybe more. I worked the weekend before her surgery all day one weekend processing those things. Cutting them all up; boiling and sieving. Then canning them. That was a looooong weekend.
No sweat, no sauce. Truly words to live by
Dang. That video made me hungry. Never have tried fresh tomato sauce.
Questions:
There's no water added on the first boil is there?
What are the leafs he puts and why?
He jars them... You supposed to refrigerate them right after? Did he say he leaves them outside a couple of days?
40 different pots and utensils for 11 cans of sauce. Reminds me of my grandfather. My grandmother always wanted to kill him for that. Looks really good!
Love this guy! Here is the hilarious video where he tries to pronounce Worcestershire Sauce
