The Manufacture of Tomato Products Including whole tomato pulp or puree, tomato catsup, chili sauce, tomato soup, trimming pulp

"The Manufacture of Tomato Products" by W. G. Hier is a detailed handbook from the early 1900s that guides readers through the process of turning fresh tomatoes into a variety of canned goods. The pages document the transition from old canning methods to advanced ways, highlighting how important it is to start with great tomatoes. It begins by looking at things like getting good tomatoes, moving them carefully, and using fertilizers, before a step-by-step look at cleaning, organizing, and turning tomatoes into pulp for later processing. Hier uses his own real-world experience to explain new production techniques and show how important the original tomato quality is to the final product.
