  1. I added 2 TBS dried basil, and reduced the ClearJel to 1/4 cup. Great taste and consistency. My family loves this recipe.

    1. Hi! I haven’t done anything with the pulp except feed it to my chickens, but you could definitely add it to a casserole or something like that.

    1. Yes, you could use quart jars instead of pints for this recipe. I would process for 30 minutes instead of 25 minutes.

    1. Hi! Sorry the instructions weren’t very clear. Yes, add the bay leaves to the vegetables, and then remove them before using the immersion blender. I’ve updated the recipe.

    1. Hi Sue, this recipe is processed in a pressure canner, not a boiling water canner, so adding the extra acid is not necessary for this recipe.

        1. Hi Carol, yes I think it would be safe to can in a boiling water canner if lemon juice was added, but I don’t know how much you would need to add.

          1. For a pint jar its 1TBSP lemon juice plus 1/2tsp canning salt. Double it for a quart jar.


  2. I am sorry to have to ask such a silly question but if I use canned tomatoes do I drain them first? Thank you.

    1. Hi! It depends on what kind of tomatoes I have on hand. I think you could really use any kind. I normally grow a roma tomato that is meant for making sauces and pastes. I think that is what I used for this recipe.
