  1. You are more ambitious than anyone I know! A tip for tomato products, when you have to reduce tomato sauce it will go faster if you do it in lower pots and lesser amounts in the pot. I have a really large pot whose sides are probably one third the size of yours and it is bigger around so more surface area. It evaporates the liquid much faster. I think by doubling the recipe and using such a huge deep pot the evaporation was not as efficient as it could be. Also why can't we pressure can pumpkin purees? We can buy them canned! Somebody is canning them and the FDA is approving it!

  2. I cooked my butternut squash and pumpkins and then dehydrated the puree. Later I turned it into powder. I haven't tried to rehydrate any of it to make pie but it's great for thickening soup. I'm sure it would be great for making butternut squash soup!

  3. My ketchup looked much like yours. I cooked it about 30 hours in my electric roaster and it was still runny. I had two quarts of freeze dried tomatoes that I powdered in the blender and added to the huge pot. Adjusted the spices and within 2 hours it was thick thick wonderful ketchup

  4. I wonder if the Roma tomatoes you got this year weren't a paste variety. My mom makes a huge batch of pasta sauce every few years that is super thick & she gets canning tomatoes in Yakima WA. We have family there so they're able to have a nice visit & stay a few days if they want & the price is worth the drive usually so if you ever can't get what you need around our area you may consider the Yakima Valley or Grandview.

  5. I would have gone for the higher sugar recipe to help the thickening. Think that would work a bit better. I've had the same problems with jam -huge pots seem to take WAY longer than the recipe

  6. Hey Becky,
    I just wanted to tell you that you videos are so comforting to me. I'm kinda ill right now, but I'm all cosy on my parents couch watching your videos and it makes me feel a little better. So thank you! Hugs from Germany 🙂
