Canning tomatoes is a method of preserving tomatoes by hermetically sealing them in glass jars. The use of canning-specific jars and lids is crucial to the success of canning. The process involves peeling the tomatoes, roughly chop them, and then cooking them over low heat until they reach your desired consistency of doneness.
The canning process involved heating sterilized jars in making sure all the microorganisms that cause spoiling are destroyed, which in return will retain maximum flavor, color, and nutrients. This easy-to-do ago old technique still works beautifully when done correctly and can have an incredibly long shelf life.

I used to can fifty quarts of tomatoes every summer. My mother taught me. You did them perfectly. I’m 72 now and I still would love to can a few quarts. My daughter never wanted to learn.

really love your videos, my mother took the skins and put in the oven at 200 And let them dehydrate. Than would grind them into powder to add to her sauces. She too believed in no waste….lol 😀

Great video. I remove the stem end after the tomatoes are skinned. You loose less juice.

Thank you for making it easy and stress free video! I’ve watched others and people were talking about botulism, and that I shouldn’t use fresh lemon only bottled etc. I almost gave up on canning until I saw your video!
