To Can Tomatoes

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Steam the tomatoes until the skins can be easily removed.

  2. Slice the tomatoes into thick slices.

  3. Pack the slices into glass jars and screw the tops tightly.

  4. Place something in a wash boiler to prevent the jars from touching the bottom.

  5. Set the jars in the boiler and fill with cold water up to the lids.

  6. Boil for at least two hours, ensuring the water continues to boil.

  7. Remove the boiler from the heat and let the water cool before taking out the jars.
