Judy your knowledge of the layout of the forum is amazing, you seem to be able to point in the right direction for various post etc - one day I can only hope that I will remember a small part of where this and that is posted on here.

You would be the same as me if you spend that much time on here Robyn but thanks, it is usually a topic I am particularly interested in or have done so that helps.

got the 2kg of tomatoes to make this, how many jars etc would I need 1, 2, 3 or many? ie. how much does it make?

Thanks for bumping this recipe so I am aware of it CP.

CP those jars look like they are 500g to me.  I froze mine in ziplock bags but I can't remember how many

good pick up JD. I have told our neighbours that if they want me to give them stuff they need to save their jars. They are happy to do this cos they always throw them out, and I have heaps of jar bottoms but no lids (DH seems to separate the two once they have been washed and throw the lids in the bin )

CP, could you use those cellophane type tops Mum used to put on her jam jars or aren't they available anymore.  You wet them, put a rubber band around the top of the jar and they ended up as tight as a drum to seal the jar.

I'll read this in more detail tomorrow

I liked this bit CP

'contents of the jar may be shook aroud.'  LOL

Yes, you can still get the cellophane tops, JD.  I recently found a jar of jam I had made on the top shelf of my larder with a cellophane top and, although the jam has shrunk away from the top of the jar a little, it was not mouldy and it was 3 years old.  I haven't opened it to try it yet, though.  I must do that.

There are places that sell new jar lids. I get mine from green living Australia. They sell via the web, but for those based in Brisbane, they also have a real store at Underwood.  I've also seen the cellophane lids in either Coles or woollies at Springwood.

Can this be made with tinned tomatoes do you think?

Or can you suggest another recipe. Want to make pizza on Saturday without buying a jar of sauce/topping.

Thanks xx

Here's Meagans pizza sauce using canned tomatoes DJ.
