Canned Tomatoes

Ingredients

• Fresh tomatoes
• Boiling water

Directions

1. Pour boiling water over the fresh tomatoes and let them stand for a few minutes.

2. Drain the tomatoes, remove the skins, and slice them crosswise, discarding any hard or defective parts.

3. Cook the sliced tomatoes in their own juice, skimming off any scum that rises, and stir with a wooden or silver spoon.

4. Prepare your cans and fill them with the cooked tomatoes.

5. Wipe the tops of the cans with a cloth to remove moisture, then secure the covers.

6. Store the sealed cans in a dry, dark, cool place.
