I look forward to tomato season all year. Because I don’t have a garden, it always starts for me when the hot house tomatoes appear at my local farmers market. Then, there comes a trickle of small tomatoes like sungold and cherry tomatoes. And then finally, the torrent. Tables heaped with heirlooms, slicers, and sturdy paste tomatoes.
Because I know that tomato season is fleeting, I make a point of canning at least 100 pounds of tomatoes each season (and sometimes more!). I can them whole, make puree, and cook pans of tomatoes down into thick, flavorful pastes. I also like to employ a little help and so occasionally turn to a package of Mrs. Wages salsa or pasta sauce. Made from spices, dehydrated herbs, citric acid, and salt, these packets are such a time saver and create a finished product that makes my home cooking delicious.
This week, I’m giving away a whole assortment of Mrs. Wages Tomato seasoning mixes. The basket will contain an assortment of mixes, including classic salsa, ketchup, and much more. If you’re interested in a chance to win this giant package of tomato canning goodness, use the widget below.
Well, I have to buy the tomatoes, here in SoCal you would think it would be easy to grow them, but it’s not! Any way, I want to make sauce, and salsa and ketchup.
Hope to get to spicy salsa and crushed tomatoes this year.
I have tomatoes coming out of my ears! Hoping to try and can some salsa and tomato sauce. My grandmother always did and I would love to carry on the tradition 🙂
I’m planning on salsa and a classic sauce.
I’ve never worked with pre-packaged seasonings when I can tomatoes. It would be interesting to try something different this year.
Love Mrs. Wages!
Unfortunately my tomatoes fried when I was out of town and a soaker hose went out. I’m getting ready to plant my fall crop – looking forward to putting up some sauces in a couple months!
I usually make your basic sauce base and then jazz it up as either marinara sauce or thicken it a bit more to make pizza sauce. Haven’t tried these mixes yet!
Love Mrs Wages pizza sauce mix!!!!
Just started salsa season up here in Wisconsin. Peach salsa , 2 batches in the root cellar already. I batch was the first from our very own peach tree. We planted 24 tomato plant this year. Salsa , pasta sauces , bruschetta , chilli starter and our own version of diced tomatoes with chili’s . Love Mrs Wages and Marisha food and jars recipes.
I would love to try the salsa and ketchup mixes this year. My local stores don’t carry Mrs. Wages mixes.
Would love to win these. Thanks for the chance
Salsa is so good for you and making it your self is the best
I would love this! I make fresh salsa a lot but sometimes I’m in a hurry so I have to buy it and it doesn’t taste like my own! Seeing your post made me realize I can make my own and store it!
It’s been a wet season, so hoping for the best with my tomato crop. Salsa for sure, but also have a fabulous end of summer tomato sauce that I batch can and it last through spring.
I would love this for all the tomatoes from my garden!
This is a great prize!!!!
My first year to try canning! I’m excited!
Tomatoes are my fave produce to put up. Canned, stewed, pureed, marinara, paste….love it all. I have never tried the giveaway product and would love to try it out.
Roasting and then freezing…yum!
Plain, salsa, and tomato jam hopefully!
Love your giveaways!
You get together the best give-aways! this will be great to win!
