How to Can Tomatoes for Beckie

• Wash them well.

• Pour boiling water over them so their skins will come off easier. Soak for 1-2 minutes but not too long or they will cook (the skins will crack and wrinkle). Drain and rinse with cold water so they are easier to handle.

• Remove skins and cores.

• Slice or Quarter if you want as you stuff them into bottles up to the bottom ring.

• Smash them gently (I know it doesn't sound gentle) to get all the air bubbles out and to cover them in their own juices.

• Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (because then new hybrid tomatoes are so low in acid) and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

• Put on lids. Put in water processor to cover 1 inch above the jars.

• When water boils set timer for 45 minutes.

• Done. Put on shelf and take a picture then open and eat!
