About this course
In this course, Cornersmith owner and tomato lover, Alex Elliott-Howery will guide you through the fundamentals of preserving tomatoes with three recipes for kitchen staples; Passata, Canned Tomatoes and additive free Tomato Ketchup.
Once you see how fun and easy it is to preserve tomatoes yourself you'll know what a crime it is to eat those floury tomatoes in the dead of winter and why it's not worth buying tinny canned tomatoes, tasteless imported passata, or ketchup full of nasty ingredients.
Alex will also cover food safety, sterilisation and heat processing plus explain the equipment and ingredients you need to fill up your pantry for the year ahead.
