The pantry list keeps growing with these Canning Chopped Tomatoes. A recipe with no added sugar or any flavors and preservatives, giving you the most natural and nutrient rich canned chopped tomatoes.
With simple steps of tomatoes boiling in their own juices, I have included the guide to homemade canning too, keeping your preserves fresher for longer.
To make Canning Chopped Tomatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
Bring a large pot or canning kettle of water to a boil.
Using a sharp knife, slice a small “x” into the bottom of each tomato.
Once boiling, add the tomatoes to the water and cook for about minute
Using a slotted spoon, remove the tomatoes immediately and transfer to a bowl of ice water or a dry baking sheet to stop the internal cooking process.
Once the tomatoes have cooled to a manageable temperature, use a sharp knife to remove the skins.
Roughly chop the tomatoes and reserve the remaining juices.
In a large pot, bring the chopped tomatoes and reserved juice to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently for about 30 minutes to cook and thicken.
In a canning kettle of boiling water, place the empty canning jars, the lids and boil for 10 minutes. Once sterilized, remove jars and lids from water and reboil the water.
Pour 1 tablespoon lemon juice into each and evenly divide the tomatoes to fill the canning jars, leaving ½-inch space from the top of the jar.
Wipe jars clean, place the kids on tightly to seal and set them in the canning rack, lower them into the water and boil 40 minutes.
Remove from the water and set aside to cool, before storing.
