It’s time to get your pantry fully homemade starting with this Canned Whole Tomatoes recipe. Cut out all the preservatives when you make your own fresh and juicy tomatoes.
You need just 2 ingredients and no gluten, no sugar, no dairy and pretty much nothing bad at all. Season with lemon juice to ensure your tomatoes stay fresh while stored, until you are ready to use them.
To make Canned Whole Tomatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
Fill a large pot or canning kettle with water and bring to a boil
Using a sharp knife, slice an “X” shape into the bottom of each tomato.
Place a prepared bowl of iced water next to the boiling water pot.
Once the water is boiling, drop in the tomatoes and cook for about a minute, then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer them straight into the ice water to cool quickly.
Once cool enough to handle, using a sharp knife, gently remove the skins.
Reboil the water and place the jars in the pot to boil for 10 minutes, to sterilize them. Sterilize the lids, separately, also for 10 minutes. Remove the jars and return the pot of water to a boil.
Put a tea kettle filled with water on, to boil.
Put 2 tablespoons lemon juice in the bottom of each jar and stuff evenly, with tomatoes. If you don’t mind, crushing and cramming them in, will help to release all the juices and excess liquid to just cover them.
For less juicy tomatoes, add boiling water from the tea kettle to cover the tomatoes, leaving ½-inch space from the top of the jars.
Wipe the excess on the edges of the jars, clean and seal the lids and rims closed.
Set the jars in the canning rack and lower them into the pot of boiling water. Cook in the boiling water for 45 minutes.
Remove jars from the water and set them aside to dry and cool. Store in a cool, dark place until using.
