LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel👍. You and Frugal Daddy make me laugh.
Yummy! Everyone rhymed together
Awesome!Thanks for sharing your story. Loved.
Love watching y vodies 😸
I love and enjoy your videos. Your family is beautiful Thank you
Love the final message to us from your family! Cute cute cute! And very good advice.
You can dehydrate those tomato skins and then grind and have tomato powder to add to soups. Very good. Very frugal.
Oooo, great tip!
This was FUN!! Hello girls!! So nice to see your smiling lil faces and hear those sweet giggles!! Glad it turned out close enough!! ;)
My grandmother made lots of jams and jellies. She opened kettled it. Also my mom did too.
I love marmalade's. From oranges, lemons, and limes. Delicious.
My daughter in law showed me how to do this! She also told me if you get a tougher (cheaper) cut of roast you Dan throw some tomatoes in with it and the acid from the tomatoes really makes the toast tender.
U have such a sweet little family! Love u guys! Add a pinch or 2 of salt,it will cut the sweetness,u can't cut sugar too much that's part of it thickening
looks really good ive never had tomato jam
Hey love. It's 6 tbs to eqaul one box. You can also use the cold plate test to see if your jam will set up. I love making jams, never made tomato but now i have to.
I was taught to skim off foam in each jar as canned it. We ate the foaming part on toast, so never saw a reason to do it! Love you all!
I will give this a try looks delicious ❤️🇨🇦😜
You can take a cold teaspoon, dip it into the jam, and see if it thickens properly when cooling on the spoon.
The lemon juice is for the pectin which comes from the lemons
When I was little (in my oma’s kuche!) she always had fresh bread on jam making day so we could eat bread and foam. You can mix it in but it makes them jam cloudy and less pretty but still as delicious. Jam is complicated and doubling recipes doesn’t always work great but luckily you can still eat it as a syrup or plop into yogurt or oatmeal. Looks great.
Interesting recipe - I make tomato jam with cinnamon sticks as the only spice. Everybody complains about it anyway - in California unless it has chili pepper in it no one wants to mess with tomato jam. BTW, you probably could have gotten away with using 3-1/2 cups of sugar, but no less than that or it will spoil quickly. Also, if you add citric acid (sour salt in Indian and Middle Eastern markets, made from concentrated dried citrus juice) you preserve the color and give it a sour edge which cuts the sweetness. Also, I've never used pectin in my recipe - as someone else here mentioned, I just throw a couple of peeled diced green apples in with the tomatoes, and it thickens up nicely. Thanks for posting this, and bring on more frugal recipes!
Very nice! I made some wild plum freezer jam over the summer and it turned out really well. I gave some to my three sons and think we will have plenty for the coming year. Very nice tomato jam!!
Don't be afraid of canning. Your smart! Just get yourself the Ball canning book and follow instructions. You can fill your pantry with all those good in season crops for winter use. Like peaches ect. If you need help give me a hollar! PS you should pick up a dehydrator it's even better than canning your extras.
When making jam it is important to know how many cups of liquid you have. Same thing with the pectin. Sugar you can play with some . The best jam I've made is when I stick to the directions. Inside the pectin box will have the directions for many jam and jelly recipes .
I'm not much for getting in the kitchen to do more than make a quick one-pot meal to get me through the day, but your approach is inspiring. I'm going to try spending a little more time experimenting with some recipes for foods I love, but usually buy processed.
I have heard of tomato jam but have never tried it. That's a good way to use the dumpster tomatoes. I have got to get back in the Aldi dumpster. It's getting cooler here so it won't be as bad. I need more strawberries so I can make some jam.
So glad you are out of hospital and on the way to getting better wish I could help out some way but iam all the way into london nita
Wow looks really yummy yummy
I hope you try coffee jelly & bacon jam someday :)
I found out, I'll admit totally by accident, that you don't actually need to put the tomatoes in boiling water. I did boil the water & had all my tomatoes in the sink prepared to make spaghetti sauce but after turning the burner off became distracted. By the time I returned the water was no hotter than what you could run from the tap so I dumped it into the plugged sink over the tomatoes then took the pot to the basin sink to refill it figuring I'd boil more & add it to the other water but upon returning I found my tomatoes with happy split skin that came right off & I cld handle them right away. I decided to run the tap as hot as it could get & fill the sink then dump in more tomatoes & to my delight they began peeling. It saved me so much time I was so happy.
Cool tip!
You honestly need to use jars and lids. You will see a huge difference. And my grandma's rule of making jellies and jams is we always made then in the winter time. Never summer. We would pick fruit and freeze it whole. Then when winter came we would make jelly. My favorite was and still is sand plum jelly. I learned my frugal ways from my Auntie. They used everything! Never wasted anything!
Do you mean beach plum jelly? My grandmother made that a few times. I remember helping her pour the wax on. But why make in winter??
@@freakinfrugal5268 no sand plum. They grow in Oklahoma. Andshe said to make jelly in the winter time because it would set easier than if you cooked it in the heat.
Hi, love your videos! You need to use the same weight of sugar to fruit to get a good set. Many years of preserving here ;)
I always halve the sugar in the jam I make - and it doesn't go mouldy. Nor, after storing a while, does it get sugar crystals forming, making it solid.
If you get a lot of green tomatoes left on your vines, you can make a fantastic sweet pie. Just slice them thickly, dredge them with a mix made from sugar and spices of your choice (from what I know, pumpkin spice would be ideal) a little corn starch, place them into a pie plate, cover with crust or crumble and bake. Serve with whipped cream. (I actually make coconut cream - put a can of coconut cream into the fridge overnight, then carefully drain the water, reserving all the thick cream. Whip with a few teaspoons of powdered sugar and vanilla, until as thick as normal cream - vegan friendly!)
Foam, where's the foam? Is that foam? 🤣🤣 Daddy.....and stay out of jail. Lawd you peeps are funny. Thanks for jamming with us Amy.
i had a whole bunch of strawberries and i made sugar free jelly.well its turned out yucky.but i made it with sugar free strawberry jello and it was sooo good..didn't have to can it either i just put it in the frigwont be doing all that canning anymore.
I wonder if you should have strained out the seeds.
I wondered about that but the recipe said nothing about it.
Thank you for this wonderful video!
Love you guys ! And please MORE cooking videos
The lemon juice adds pectin. If that don't set, nothing will! 🤣 sounds different! I guess it's just tomato chutney with a lot more sugar and different spices? Bet it's nice with mature cheddar cheese? Xxx
Dawn bustersmummy
Lemon juice acts like pectin??
@@LGAussie I know! Then all the powdered pectin, that's why I said it should set! Lol xxx
Dawn bustersmummy
Wow! Good to know lemon does that! Lemon on fish helps to stop ur body from absorbing mercury. Many fish have high mercury levels, lemons help that a lot!
Sugar sugar lol
Honey was used before sugar
Aw the twins squeeze hugging each other made me smile 🥰🥰
I slice an x on my tomatoes before putting in the bioling water for 1 to 3 minutes...if you dont have ice add a big cool frozen ice pack to bowl of cold water...
Oh yes, my grandmother did the x too. I forgot abotu that.
did u know i seen a video from a channel on fb a few years ago she skinned her tomatoes &saved the skins & dehyrated em the skins to make tomato powder
Lmaooo! Stay out of jail?! Thanks for the tip frugal Daddy😂😂😂
Stay out of jail!! Frugal Daddy is hilarious!! 😂 😂 😂
Gosh you guys are great!!! Amy .. you're hilarious. Frugal Daddy is VERY handsome .. and those little girls are lovely :)
the foam is acid from the tomatoes if you take it off it would do better an taste better my mom taught me that when i canned tomatoes
I love watching you guys ❤️
Amy, did you perhaps watch the british tv show Miranda?? You said "Bare with", which is a catch phrase on that hilarious show. Just curious!! 😃
Oh yes I did and I LOVED it! I love her, I love the show, I love everyone on it.
I was so bummed there were only a couple seasons. She is a Brilliant comedic actress!! They all are.
Her mother though is, what I like to call...overbearing!! LOL
I know, it seems like the BBC never produces enough of the great shows - you have to beg for more seasons. Remember when Miranda was in the park and there was a young guy walking along with his pants too low and she ran over and pulled them down? I loved that. i have always wanted to do that.
I love when she mutes the wrong word, performs human dressage, and basically a plethora of physical comedy. She's Bloody Brilliant!!
She has said she wouldn't do anymore of the show, I think she wanted to move on. Still, that show is worth revisiting every now and again, its Classic!!
Add a bit of butter to get rid of the foam ( we call it the scum)
I also think you needed more sugar. At least 6 cups. I’m sure your jam tastes good anyway.
👍🏻💜💜💜💜💜👏
and stay out of Jail..... lmao. I'll leave the jelly / jam making to you all. ;)
To remove the foam naturally, just add a pat of butter...
Honey - 3/4 cup (Adjust according to your sweetness)
Add honey and water to the pan and cook for a minute.
And for the diabetic’s here is a link with a sugar conversion chart.
sweetleaf.com/stevia-conversion-chart/
They probably used apples.. Pectin? Honey was a rare treat. I believe it was apples and cooking it down until it got thick
hey frugal mommy, you are sooo funny. we really enjoyed your video. yeah i agree with the rest of group, you need to make a cookbook. i would buy it. you guys are so funny especially when frugal daddy says " stay of jail" from the dumpster diver himself. enjoy your toast. consider writing a cookbook. and bonus tricks and tips on frugal living and dumpster diving. have a wonderful day 😊💕
Frugal daddy cracks me up 🤣
🍅 jam its new recipe thanks.
oh that jelly i made is called refrigerator jam .but it taste just like your eating a strawberry.probally the strawberry jello is why you can make it with reg jello to.
The grabber and headlamp I ordered came in and I love them.
That looks & sounds delicious. I’ve never heard of it before but I’ll have to try it..💞💞
Are you suppose to leave the seeds in it? This sounds yummy. I might try this next summer.
The recipe didn't say anything about removing them
Never heard of Tomato Jam.....interesting!
I think a lot of people just dried their fruit.
You are so darn funny! I laughed the whole video. And you are a woman of many talents!! Who would have thought you could make Tomatoes in Jam!
Find some big glass jars , they’re great for fridge and freezer and jams-jellies 💚
The cook gets the foam ☺️
The juice and pectin has to be close to exact - it’s easy 💚
Amy my friend, your AMAZING! I love what you create and love to watch you look threw clothes your a Riot!! Be good give the giggle twins a hug for me!! And a shout out from them lol
You make doing stuff fun. Keep up the chores and have fun.
don't start it boiling again !!!Add some corn starch disolved in a little water, your best bet
Citrus fruits are preservatives, maybe that's why they had you add it?
I dry and powder the skins😊
Hi Amy, you Really should do a cookery program. You are hilarious and I love your half wing approach to cookery/baking. Plus your teaching skills are actually very good. Never heard of this jam before, looks interesting. Great video xx
Hi, please always use a recipe and use approved method of canning. You can use a spice bag instead of putting spices in. You need to measure. Follow USA guidelines for canning. Someone could get sick. It's 4 to 6 tablespoons to one box . A box of pectin is 49grams . I know your going to say blah blah blah but since you froze it. It maybe okay. Very entertaining video. You can stir slower . The foam is fine. Before sugar they would have cooked it down for hours.
You should find a jam making video so you can know what to do.
That' probably what a normal person would do.
love it...the education while cooking and the measurement action ...love you ❤👌🙌
The foam contains impurities that negatively affect the flavor of the jam (or soup broth). Also making jam or jelly requires some pretty exact amounts, not very good to freewheel it with this type of product. For example, you can’t just double a batch=won’t thicken. Rather you need to make two batches.
I will bend it to my will!
You are brilliant I shop at Aldi and love that store but I’m afraid to dive. Proud of you. Pam from ft lauderdale
You should also try strawberry jam made from tomatoes ..strawberry jello and yes...loads of sugar..thats it. It is so good...when you are low 9n berries. You can also use canned tomatoes.
interesting!
Just an FYI, I just got an alert that Kroger's and Aldi's, both had a chicken recall tho the stores are not supposed to dump it check it out and I would pick any chicken out of the dumpster, this week. I've made this jam, it is so good I won a blue ribbon at the Fair last year.
Did you use as much sugar as I did?
I want to say yes, I'll look at my recipe. It was 3 cups, but what's one more:) . We love it too.
It was sugar cane that was brought back to Europe. They would chew then suck on the cane and rot their teeth.
I can just picture teeth being bathed in pure sugar juice. Reminds me of when I was a little kid and we went to my grandmother's. She had old fashioned sugar cubes and we would suck on them as a treat. gag!
Hi! So happy to see your video today. You always make me laugh and relax, and God knows I need it. Having a bad week so far.
Hope it gets better💞
@@tracytarle2144 Thanks love! 🤗
YOU ARE VERY SMART TALENTED BUT MOST OF ALL YOUR SENCE OF HUMOR
You don’t have to freeze it Amy, sugar is your preservative. Jar it. X
With the price of maters around here i would b better off buying it already made. Lol!
Going make this for some people for the Hollidays in nice jars and put pretty ribbon cloth on lid 🍓🍓🍅 and Apple butter Thanks Amy your Awesome!
And, stay out of jail. bwahaha
Loved this jam! Makes me wanna March into the kitchen and make some jam! Lol love watching you cook. Thank you for sharing!
Oops i edited my comment below ..now don't see the heart like you gave it ..it disapeard when i edited it 😶
heart heart heart heart heart!
@@freakinfrugal5268 thanks lol ☺
Oh my,want to learn this one! But I have to buy my tomatoes!🤣
hmmm..not a tomato fan...but i have had sun dried tomatoes now an then on a sandwhich..those i like. wonder how u make em? question for ya....or anyone who dives really...u freeze your bananas. but im still tryin to make room in the freezer here at home....plus i like to have them out on the counter..the FRESH ones...or they last a good long time in the fridge. but i heard of something called a banana hanger. bit too expensive..and i dont have the tools to make one. any other easy way to hang your bananas or keep them out an fresh and keep those tiny flies away? as clean as i can get the place i live in they just LOOOOVE food lol. any help would be great. oh btw...the ALDI place has a good amount of fruit and some meats. go after 11 tho....they are fine with folks looking...just if u want privacy and all thats a good time to go. dive safe all :) XO
I've never heard of spiced tomato jam, but I enjoy your videos so much, that I'm going to watch it til the end, like it and learn something new.
I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter chips too didn't have enough of one kind of chips so I found these which I had to hide them from hubby!!
The sugar ouch...giggles tomatoe candy...giggles
Make a cookbook, I will buy it. 😍
I would do more tomatoes, less sugar and maybe add another high pectin fruit. I would also leave the skins on as that will add more roughage and help thicken it. I get that you have little ones who may be fussy about the skins though.. In UK (to complicate it all more)- Jam is what Americans call jelly and jelly is the stuff that wobbles about on a plate!!!( I think you guys call that jello)
Less sugar is always better...next time maybe you can make Red Pepper Jam...!!
Oooo, cool!!
LOVE HOW you sign off today, maybe you should record it and sign off like that every day, just my opinion ✌👍love this family
Also a lot of food was salted to preserve it.
Good evening Amy, Frugal Daddy and girls! Agree 100% LOVE THE ENDING! TOO CUTE!!! As far as the jam... tomatoes from the store just are not that meaty like home grown, there is more juice than flesh. So it is just not going to be as thick without following the recipe pretty closely the first time Jams and Jellies can be finicky. But the end result looked pretty good to me with a little vegan spread to cut a little sweetness you might really enjoy it! Thanks for sharing Loved the video and I think I may try this recipe! Have a FANTABULOUS NIGHT! Much love and GOD BLESS Y'ALL!💞😘😘💞
