Boiling down homemade tomato sauce

Making your own tomato sauce in your FAVORITE JAR is not only easy to prepare, but also more environmentally friendly due to less packaging. We have forgotten how to make things ourselves and therefore prefer to buy pre-packaged products, although this does not necessarily mean less time and money. Of course you can also buy ready-made tomato sauce. But it tastes so much better when you make it yourself from freshly harvested tomatoes and store it in your FAVORITE JAR .

Helpful tips for preserving:

• Sterilize jars - To ensure that they last longer, it is important to ensure that they are clean. Before preserving, always sterilize your FAVORITE JAR with boiling water, dry it with a clean kitchen towel or leave it upside down on a rack to dry.
• Cleanliness - Always pay attention to hygiene when filling tomato sauce and use clean spoons and ladles when filling it.
• Storage - Always store preserves in a cool, dark place. Once the jar has been opened, it is best to store it in the refrigerator.
