Moma’s Canned Tomatoes




4-6 pounds tomatoes, blanched, cored, and peeled
2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
2 (1 quart) Canning Jars with new lids

Place tomatoes in a large saucepan, sprinkle with salt, and cover completely with water. Bring to a boil and let cook for 5 minutes. Sterilize jars and lids as per manufacture directions. Remove one at a time when ready to fill. Add 1 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 tablespoon white vinegar to each quart. Scoop tomatoes into the jars filling within 1/2 inch, then ladle the hot cooking liquid into the hot sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe rims with a clean damp cloth and seal jars with lids and rings. Process in a boiling water bath (making sure water level is 1 inch over the top of the jars) for 10
minutes. Remove from water bath and allow to cool on the counter.
*Note: Use these home-canned tomatoes in your favorite sauce or soup for a taste of summer throughout the year. I like to make as many as I can at once but this is a small batch recipe to get you started, just double or triple the recipe for the amount of jars you want to make.
