Description
Bottling the Tomato Harvest
Tinned tomatoes are often imported, and while we love the convenience of canned food, learning how to bottle them yourself using locally grown and fully flavoured fruit is so much cheaper and tastier.
Using the Fowlers Vacola Preserving system we will show you how to take the seasonal tomato harvest and preserve it safely to create a shelf-stable product that will last you well into the lean months of winter.
Marieka and Sheralee will be preserving whole and diced tomatoes, tomato soup and simple passata in this workshop. The demonstration will include how to peel tomatoes, how to pack jars, how to pack your processor and the simple steps required for processing jars. The demonstration will also cover the critical issue of food safety for tomatoes, and examples of recipes and uses for your preserved produce.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I access the workshop?
You will be emailed a link and a code to the video workshop. Use the code from the email to access the workshop.
What do I need to have on hand during the workshop?
If you are a beginner you may only want a print out of your workbook and a pen to take notes. If you are a more experienced preserver you may want to preserve along with us, in which case you will need your usual fowlers preserving equipment.
How safe is preserving?
This food skill is more than 100 years old, and modern science has given us the benefit of understanding exactly how safe it is. Those Barossa Girls work within food safety guidelines set down by regulatory bodies, and we will not advocate or teach practices that are not proven. Fowlers Vacola bottling is a proven and safe method that relies on some very simple rules to eliminate the possibility of food spoilage or pathogens. It is important that home preservers understand the importance of safe food practices, and we will teach you how to apply those simple rules to your preserving.
