Tomatoes have to be one of the most versatile fruit that I grow. For my family it is also one of the most heavily used. Not only do we eat lots of salads and sandwiches that let us enjoy them fresh but we cook with them frequently. Anything from chili to spaghetti sauce, salsa and soups, gumbo and stewed tomatoes and okra. The list is endless. The only thing I use more than tomatoes would be onions. For us tomato season has begun and the first order of business is canning tomato sauce. The tomatoes were picked early this morning and washed thoroughly to remove dust and dirt. Then cored or sliced to go into the pots. You can follow along with canning tomato sauce on page 23 of the Ball Blue Book(100th Anniversary Edition). Like last year I cook these down in my roaster to help with congestion on the stove top. This is a wonderful and versatile appliance for canning. And a large pot on the stove also. And more tomatoes waiting in the wings. I turn the pots on low heat and start cooking them adding a little water in the bottom of the pot to get them started without scorching. Then basically you want to maintain a hard simmer stirring your tomatoes frequently so as not to burn them. Now the Ball Blue Book says to simmer them for 20 minutes and then puree in food processor or food mill. I simmer mine for atleast 2 hours until the tomatoes start to break down and then I lower the heat. Then I take my wand mixer. I bought two of these for soap making on sale. It has two attachments, one is a traditional mixer attachment and the other has a blade. This works great once the tomatoes break down to puree any seeds or peeling. I find this so much easier than the food mill or food processor. I simply pulse it through my warm tomato sauce and puree good. Then I turn my heat back up to about 350 and simmer hard without a lid until it reduces by half. What you are doing is cooking the water from your sauce and reducing the volume and making it thicker. Notice in the cooker above how it is only now about half full. Don't forget to stir frequently to prevent scorching. Notice on this pot how it is now about half full. Now put your jars on to heat up. And heat your lids and rings Now I take my large slotted spoon and run it through my sauce catching any odd peelings or seeds I may have left behind. I find a seed from time to time in my sauce and really don't worry about it but I do try to catch any large peeling I may have missed. Now add 1 Tablespoon lemon juice to each pint or 2 Tablespoons to a quart jar. ( Not cold or it will crack your hot jar!!) Ladle hot sauce into hot jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims to remove any residue Put hot lids on hot jars and finger tighten only Put jars in boiling water bath canner and process pints 35 minutes and quarts 40 minutes. Remove and cool completely until lids recess and seal. Allow to cool overnight then remove rings and wash jars with soapy dishcloth and dry. Label with contents and date and you have fresh canned homegrown tomato sauce ready for your pantry.

Without a doubt every Sicilian household has jars of 'caponata' in their pantry, or has access to it. As most Australian households probably have a jar of Vegemite (excluding mine....sorry!!). Eggplant plays an essential role in the Sicilian diet. Sicilians, as with Italians in general take advantage of produce in season, then use them to make preserves to last throughout the year. This means you can enjoy various fruits and vegetables annually, even when they are not in season. Not to mention buying produce when it is attainable and affordable. Or better yet, a friend owns a vineyard, olive grove, vegetable garden or orchid. Get the drift! Caponata is a eggplant based preserve, mixed with various vegetables, however most households will always include celery and capers. This particular recipe I have enjoyed for many years. It is normally served as a accompaniment to fish, notably swordfish. However it can equally be enjoyed as part of a antipasti plate, or simply topped on some crusty bread. Make a big batch and keep jars in the pantry enjoy and for many months, it is so tasty. Your house with be filled rich aromas! A book by Gaetano Basile once quoted "not uncommonly, poets and writers have likened the eggplant to a beautiful woman, fleshy, firm and shiny black leather". The word for eggplant in Italian is melanzane (pronounced mel-arn,zar,knee). What you need (will make about 4 x 500g jars): three large eggplants two celery stalks 350g Sicilian green olives one red onion 1/4 cup of capers 1/2 cup white vinegar one cup extra virgin olive oil 700ml Italian tomato pasata (tomato sauce puree) garlic cloves 1 tablespoon sugar half a chili salt 1: Chop the eggplant into even size cubes. Place in a large saucepan and evenly coat with olive oil. Place on a low heat, and cook for about 15 minuets until the eggplant absorbs the oil and becomes soft and tender. Continue to keep stirring, always making sure they are evenly cooked. Cook with a lid on. 2: Finely dice the celery and boil in hot salted water until they become completely soft. This will take about 7-10 minuets. 3: Smash and finely chop the garlic. Finely dice the onion, add both to a large pan and cook over a low heat combined with a little olive oil and salt. Cook until they are soft and translucent, not brown. 4: If capers are marinated in vinegar, rinse thoroughly under water. Add to the onion mixture. Also roughly chopped olives. 5: When the eggplant is ready, remove and place on paper towel to remove excess oil. Now add to the pot with other ingredients, combine all ingredients. 6: Add the tomato puree, stir through and cook for about 5 minutes. 7: Heat the vinegar and sugar together to dissolve and add to the eggplant mixture. Cook for another 10 minuets. Taste mixture and add salt to taste if desired. 8: Pack mixture firmly in hot mixture in sterilized jars and close firmly with lid. Keep in a dark, cool place.
