But for right now-
If you’re trying to make this stew and your ground beef is frozen…TRY THESE TRICKS
Place 1# SVTFarm Ground Beef in a large bowl of cold water or sink basin. It usually defrosts in about an hour.
Use your microwave’s defrost setting; checking frequently. Ususally about 5-6 minutes will do.
Pop the frozen block into the stock pot cooking on low and using a spatula to break it down smaller and smaller until browned.
I love this dish because it’s such a wholesome and simple way to keep the bountiful days of summer fresh in your mind.
I cut at least 50 ears of corn off the cob to put up several quarts of corn for the winter.
Corn, especially local organically grown corn, is a great carbohydrate with vitamins and minerals, like thiamin, and fiber for healthy nutrition.
The local hardware store usually has a tool for a few bucks to cut the corn off the cob quickly and includes the juicy pulp that just makes me swoon.
I’ve even boiled the cobs for the most luscious corn stock for the BEST corn chowder in the the world.
Tomatoes are ripening like crazy.
Their summer flavor is unmatched by any grocery store can.
You can easily preserve some tomato sauce quickly and enjoy the nutritional benefits of Vitamin C and antioxidants like lycopene that tomatoes provide in the winter.
Here’s what I do-
Tomatoes have an enzyme that causes the pulp to separate from the juice once the tomato is cut and the flesh makes contact with air.
So, working with my stock pot on medium-low, I dice clean tomatoes right into the pot and bring them to a simmer quickly - crushing each one and stirring as I go.
Once you have a few started, you’re off to the races and each addition is stabilized before the separation occurs.
Strain this after 10 minutes of simmering with whatever tool you use, be it a Squeezo strainer, and Italian made hand me down I have, or even a wire sieve that cleans up quick.
This tomato sauce can be frozen.
Can pint jars with additional citric acid and salt, like I do, to make homemade sauces and stews like SVTFarm’s Hamburger Stew with Corn and Tomato all Winter.
You don’t have to thicken it up a lot, either.
I find it a waste of time and energy.
The flavor is what I’m preserving.
Pizza sauce can be made in 10 minutes with a few chopped onions and peppers, a pint of tomato sauce, basil, oregano, parsley and a nice bit of grated parmesan cheese .
If you canned with salt and citric acid, check to taste before adding any more salt first.
