SECRET INGREDIENTS FOR SUCCESS! Homemade Tomato Sauce from Scratch!

What happens here

Once ripened, transfer the tomatoes into a clean sink filled with water or a large basin. Allow them to soak for a few minutes to loosen any dirt or debris. Thoroughly wash each tomato by hand, rinsing off any leaves, dirt, or other garden remnants. Inspect each tomato for rotten spots; any areas with rot should be cut out and discarded. The presenter demonstrates putting these discarded rotten pieces into a 'yucky bucket' to be fed to chickens, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

Goal: Clean tomatoes and remove any spoiled sections before cutting.
