Strawberry-Tomato Dessert Sauce with the Roma™ by Weston® Electric Tomato Strainer

Prep Time 5 minutes  

Makes about 20 oz.

Ingredients
1 lb whole fresh strawberries
3/4 lb fresh roma tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup homemade strawberry jam
(Get the jam recipe here)
1/4 cup sugar
Juice from half of a lime





Tools

	Roma™ by Weston® Electric Tomato Strainer
	Weston® Deluxe 5-Piece Canning Kit (optional)

Weigh out your tomatoes and strawberries on a Weston Flat Top Scale. Load them into the hopper of the Roma™ by Weston® Electric Tomato Strainer with the berry screen attached.

Be sure to place a large container under the chute to catch the sauce as well as a smaller container under the waste funnel. Turn the Electric Tomato Strainer on and feed the fruits through, pushing them through with the included stomper.

Once your tomatoes and strawberries have been processed into a puree, stir in the jam, sugar, and lime juice. Serve chilled. Once you try this sauce, you won't be able to get enough, so we recommend making this recipe in bulk and using the Weston Deluxe Canning Kit to can the sauce.

Need some inspiration as to what to do with your dessert sauce? We made Tomato-Strawberry Shortcake (pictured below) with warm corn muffins (add a little extra sugar to the batter) and french vanilla ice cream. It also tastes great on dessert shells with whipped cream (pictured above).

Strawberry Jam with Weston® Canning Tools

Makes 8 jars    Prep Time 30 min     Canning Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 pouch liquid pectin
8 cups strawberries
7 cups superfine sugar

Tools

	Weston® Deluxe 5-Piece Canning Kit
	Roma™ by Weston® Food Strainer & Sauce Maker
	Roma™ by Weston® Berry Screen
	Weston® Stainless Steel Cone Strainer

How To

First, sanitize your jars by hand washing, boiling for 10 minutes, then keeping them in the hot water until you're ready to use them. Repeat for the lids, but keep them in hot, not boiling, water.

In a separate canning pot, start boiling enough water to cover the jars (this could take a while, so start your water right away).

Be sure to wash and pat dry the strawberries.

Attach the Berry Screen to the Roma™ by Weston® Food Strainer & Sauce Maker and pour the strawberries into the hopper. Set a container under the waste funnel (to catch the stems and seeds) and a bowl under the chute (to catch your strawberry puree), then begin turning the handle to process the fruit. The resulting puree is ready to be made into jam.

Keep a metal tablespoon in a glass of ice water nearby so that you can test the jam for thickness once it's finished.

Pour the puree and pectin into the pan, then bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. Once it has reached a full boil, stir in the sugar and return once more to a boil. Boil for one minute, then remove from heat.

Quickly remove a jar from the hot water with the Weston® Canning Tongs. Set the Weston® Cone Strainer over the jar and pour the jam through the strainer into the jar to ensure the jam is as seedless as possible. If you're skipping this step, be sure to use the Weston® Wide Mouth Canning Funnel to pour the jam into the jar.

Using a Weston® Magnetic Lid Lifter, remove a lid and ring from the hot water and place over the jar. Secure the ring with a Weston® Jar Wrench.

Using the Weston® Jar Lifter, drop the jam-filled jars into the boiling water, making sure that they are completely surrounded by water. A canning rack helps to keep the jars off of the bottom of the canning pot so that the boiling water can reach the bottom of the jar as well. After five minutes, check the lids to make sure they're sealed (the button on the lid will be popped down), and if so, remove the jars from the water with the Jar Lifter.

Let the jars cool, remove the securing ring, and store your jam in a cool, dark, dry place for up to a year (like you can wait that long).

Raspberry Jam with Weston® Canning Tools

Makes 8 jars   
Prep Time 30 min    
Canning Time 15 minutes


Ingredients

1 pouch liquid pectin
8 cups raspberries
7 cups superfine sugar







Tools

	Weston® Deluxe 5-Piece Canning Kit
	Weston® Stainless Steel Food Mill
	Weston® Stainless Steel Cone Strainer

In a separate canning pot, start boiling enough water to cover the jars (this could take a while, so start your water right away).

Be sure to wash and pat dry the raspberries.

Insert the coarse milling disc into the Weston® Stainless Steel Food Mill, fill the bowl with raspberries, hold the mill over a larger bowl, and turn the handle to process. This will produce a thicker, seed-filled puree. If you prefer something thinner and less seedy, use a finer milling disc. If you don't want any seeds in your jam, use a Roma by Weston Food Strainer and Sauce Maker with the Berry Screen attached.

Keep a metal tablespoon in a glass of ice water nearby so that you can test the jam for thickness once it's finished.

Pour the puree and pectin into the pan, then bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. Once it has reached a full boil, stir in the sugar and return once more to a boil. Boil for one minute, then remove from heat.
