How to Make Fresh, Homemade Marinara Sauce

!±8± How to Make Fresh, Homemade Marinara Sauce

Homemade is better. This takes a little time but it's worth it. This sauce works well on pizza or pasta. With a little change in seasonings and by omitting the olive oil, you can make a salsa from this recipe.

How to Chop and Seed Tomatoes

1. Bring a pan of water to boil. Place four or five tomatoes at a time in the hot water and leave them in the bath for one minute. Remove them from the water and start another batch. Let the tomatoes cool to where you can handle them.

2. Peel the tomatoes by starting a small slit in the skin with a knife at the tip of a tomato. Grasp the edge of the skin and peel the skin from the tomato in strips. Repeat with each tomato.

3. Cut away the top of the tomato. Cut the tomato in half. With your thumb, loosen the seeds and press them into a bowl or into the sink. With Roma tomatoes, only the flesh will remain. With other tomatoes, you can remove most of the seeds. Throw the seeds away. Repeat with the remaining tomatoes.

Tools for Removing the Seeds from Tomatoes

Though you can seed and peel tomatoes by hand, tools will make the job go faster. Choose the tool that is best for you--a Victorio strainer, a potato ricer, or a food mill. Whatever you use, make sure the screen is small enough to catch the seeds. For high volume jobs, a Victorio strainer is best. It has a hopper on the top into which you load your tomatoes and a crank handle that forces the tomatoes through a screen separating the skins and the seeds. You will get the same results with food mill but it is not as fast. A ricer will do one tomato at a time. All of these tools can be used for to puree other produce. A ricer is commonly used to rice potatoes.

Canning Your Tomato Sauce

If you love your own tomato sauce, can it. Maybe you like the spice blend that you are using. Maybe it's the idea of doing it yourself, maybe canning your own tomatoes. Maybe it's to save money but it's great to can your own tomato sauce. Just make a bigger batch and can it according to the instructions from a reliable source such as your equipment manual or a government source.

Tomato Sauce for Pizza or Pasta

2 to 3 cups peeled and seeded Roma or other tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 large garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon crushed, dried oregano or a tablespoon of fresh
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves or two teaspoons fresh
2 tablespoons olive oil

Baker's note: Add garlic, oregano, and basil to suit your tastes. Fresh herbs can be substituted for the dried one but it will take more for the same flavor.

Directions

Chop the seeded tomatoes in a food processor or blender. Cook the tomatoes along with the seasonings and sugar for ten minutes or until it starts to thicken, stirring frequently. Add the olive oil. Let cool.

Go Eco-Friendly With Seed Paper

!±8± Go Eco-Friendly With Seed Paper

The impact of paper mills on the environment has been felt in the recent years and hence there has always been the demand for an eco-friendly alternative to paper.

It is estimated that the demand for paper will double in the coming decade and we certainly cannot afford to lose out on the precious forest cover.

Recycling came as a boon but in more recent times, there have been a spurt of attractive options, for example seed paper. Seed paper as the name suggests is paper made out of used seeds and is easily recyclable.

Apart from the environment friendliness, the surface of flower seed paper is highly elegant and it is widely used for greetings, invitations and decorative wraps.

The options are endless when it comes to patterns, colors and thickness in seed paper. The best part is that each type of seed paper has a charm of its own. Traditional crafts have received a new lease of life with this kind of paper.

Saving on investment

Making seed paper or flower seed paper does not require any big investment and most of the companies are small scale industries which do not utilize any hazardous chemicals or materials to manufacture the paper.

Seeds and flowers are used to create wonderful imprints and designs on the paper which finds a wide range of uses and applications. In fact, you will find that most greetings today are created on seed paper. The traditional mill paper is hardly used anymore.

Now that seed paper and flower seed paper is widely sought after, there are special and beautiful flowers that are grown just for using in the paper.

Custom Paper and patterns

Also, several companies now allow you the luxury to choose your flowers and patterns when it comes to seed paper. This lets you explore your creativity as well.

Recommended Vegetables for the Beginner Food Gardener

!±8± Recommended Vegetables for the Beginner Food Gardener

Perhaps the revival of the backyard vegetable garden began when First Lady Michelle Obama ripped up the White House lawn in order to plant a vegetable garden. It was the first time a veggie garden had been planted there since the Victory Garden planted at the time of the Second World War. It seems many more urban dwellers are becoming urban farmers as the concepts of food security, local food, slow food and other food movements gain exposure in the media and our minds. Here's a quick primer for novice vegetable gardeners who may be wondering "What vegetables do you recommend for the beginner?"

In spring and fall this is the ideal time to grow cool season vegetables. The easiest among them are lettuces. In fact, in Vancouver you can sow your lettuces outside right now. This is their idea of perfect growing conditions.

Cool season vegetables to grow in spring and fall:

* Lettuces

* Arugula

* Spinach

* Kale

Cool weather herbs would complement any homegrown salad:

* Parsley

* Chives

* Thyme

When the heat is on in the summer, then it's time for those warm season vegetables. You can try some easy to grow varieties:

* Tomatoes

* Swiss chard

* Carrots

* Zucchini

* Cucumber

* Peppers

* Green and Yellow beans

* Green onions

More great herbs to grow during the warm months include:

* Basil (try a few varieties such as Thai basil, Genovese basil for pesto, Lemon basil)

* Dill

* Tarragon

* Oregano

Think of what you like to eat, and keep an eye on the prices at your grocery store to help you decide what to plant. It would be wise to grow the more expensive vegetables in your garden, such as mesclun greens and arugula, and help save on grocery bills. Start small, look for dwarf varieties of the space hog plants (zucchini, squashes, cucumber) and always always plant cherry tomatoes!! There's nothing quite like eating ripe cherry tomatoes right off the vine. The ones grown in our vegetable gardens never, ever make it home, let alone to the bike basket for the trip home.

When choosing your vegetable seeds or plants, consider selecting heirloom varieties. Our forefathers carefully stored seeds from their most healthy and most flavorful plants. Heirloom tomatoes that you grow in your backyard (and eat on the way to the door) don't need to last on the shelf like the varieties sold in the supermarket. What counts most is their flavor, which is why heirloom varieties are making such a strong comeback.

!±8± Heirloom tomato seeds - They begin as

Starting and growing your own heirloom heirloom tomato seeds can be difficult, but rewarding. Difficult, because if you do not remember things exactly right, they end up and lanky, or a fungus problem, such as "damping off", which can kill all your delicate seedlings. So, to help, I wanted to describe briefly some Heirloom tomato seeds and how do I start.

I'll summarize for you Heirloom tomato seeds. Describes a variety of heirloom tomatoes, tomatoesThe plants and the non-hybrid in the sense that they have never been crossed with another tomato. You can grow the fruit from the seed, and save the seeds and continue the cycle of life, without ever having to buy your own seeds again. You could also spend two memorabilia and create your own personal taste more suited to your geographical area. This company is not possible with hybrids.

Purists say that Heirloom tomatoes have superior taste, and others like hybrids is growing because of their illnessResistance should be stronger than tomato heirlooms. This is why I grow hybrids, the only reason. Although, I know people that only heirloom tomatoes grown and have never had any problems with disease.

How do I start

To collect a couple of needs are the following:

• Heirloom tomato seeds, tomato seeds or 2 years or newer. (I have not had much luck with seeds.)
• A medium-quality seed starter.
• A seed starter pots or cow breeders orsomething for the seeds of plants in
• fluorescent grow light or a window in the sun for them.
• heat (only if there are early March and temperatures below 70-80 degrees F is) just until they germinate. After sprouting, is no longer necessary.
• Bleach, disinfect the planters, if you are accustomed to last year.
• Cinnamon, an excellent fungicide and helps keep away the dreaded damping off.

How can I start the seeds of heirloom and hybrid tomatoes:

At first I disinfectFarmers seed starting with the bleach solution (follow directions on the label). This will kill any fungus problems that can kill your seedlings. I have all my state of tomato seedlings to damping off, yes all 36 of the lost.

Secondly, some people recommend soaking the seeds before planting. If you do this one of the recommended solutions to soak into the desire is, kelp (seaweed) solution. They also learned that if you use the fiber pots, soak well.

AllowIts seeds dry overnight, if it is wet.

Third, the water that farmers use seed starter, from the bottom and when I finished the first time. I do not need water spray. However, a master hand is a simple dollar store for this work. Just plant your seeds at the depth in the package.

Tip: take a toothpick and make a dent in the use of depth necessary to hit the seeds in
Tip: Sprinkle cinnamon on top, this naturalFungicide for protection.

Four belong to the seeds that germinate better in the dark. Newspaper work well. Yes, it seems strange to me, but it works. I am sometimes 3-4 days a week. If the house is cold, the heating from below.

Once you discover and remove the heat. Seedlings need to do is really a temperature of about 60 ° C. Alternatively, get up and lanky and long legs as some call it. Turn your lamp or a fluorescent light to grow for a few hours, orSunlight for them.

Do not water when pots or flats. Only water when they are dry to the touch.

The plants can be fertilized, but only after they develop true leaves. Then, if ever I have fish emulsion or seaweed extract only every 10-14 days.

This is the method I use to start my tomato seeds, I am 34 now and ready for growing in pots, I transplanted some cow purchased online. Plants that grow your personal point of view of the high satisfaction6 feet tall tomato cages, while the head and know that they are grown from seeds.

Good luck you can do this.
