How to Can Diced Tomatoes

Ingredients

  • Tomatoes
  • Lemons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Water
  • Jars lids, rings
  • Canning pot or large stock pot

Instructions

  • Rinse tomatoes and dice them up.
  • Juice 1 or more lemons; add lemon juice to your jars, about 1/2 tsp. each (for pints).
  • Add filtered water.  You can also optionally use tomato juice for more flavor and/or add 1/2 tsp. of salt to each jar.  (I salted mine when cooking later.)
  • Cap the jars and process them in a water bath for 20 minutes (25 minutes for quart-size jars).  Now they are done!
