Reviews

  1. In response to the earlier review: Not all tomatoes are good for canning, much less turning into paste. Stokes sells some seeds especially for canning. If you check it out online you can find out which varieties cook down well.
     
  2. After 6 hours of cooking down, this still did not hold shape as a paste. Put in fridge to cool & thickening continues, but still not to paste.
