Happy canning.
I may look at the pre-salting to release more water. But I know that clear liquid has a lot of flavor in it and that's why I have always chosen to cook it down. In the final analysis, I guess I'm making "juice" and you're makin "puree".

Is this one of those, ….. "A rose by any other name...…….."????
