Canning more tomatoes...


OK, Coffee's on...

I pealed the tomatoes yesterday and had to put then in the frig when we went to the bank, so I'm reheating them up a little.

I put the jars right in the canning water to get them hot, then pour out and place on a clean towel to fill.

I heat up the lids and caps in another pan and drain.

We need Lemon Juice, Salt, Tablespoons, jar funnel, jar lifter and a clean towel.

Put 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt into each jar, add tomatoes and pack down with plastic spatula.

Place jars in canner of boiling water for 45 minutes. (its hard to get a picture of steam, but its steaming)

When times up pull jars out and let cool 12 - 24 hours before checking for cap seal, if they don't seal use within a couple days or you can reboil them.
