How do I can whole tomatoes?
I have a bunch of tomatoes from my garden and I want to preserve them by canning. How do I can whole tomatoes?
Sure thing! To can whole tomatoes, first, wash and boil a large pot of water. Then, place your tomatoes in the boiling water for about 30-60 seconds or until the skins begin to crack. Remove the tomatoes and place them in ice water to stop the cooking process. Next, use a knife to peel off the skins and then place the whole tomatoes into canning jars. Add boiling water or tomato juice, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of the jar. Finally, process the jars in a pressure canning for about 85 minutes for pints or quarts.
