They&#8217;re perfect for sandwiches, burgers, salads, casseroles, or any recipe that calls for flavorful tomatoes. With proper canning, you can enjoy your garden harvest long after the growing season has ended.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 1.25rem;\">Important:<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.25rem;\"> Tomatoes are a borderline high-acid food. Current home-canning recommendations generally advise adding bottled lemon juice or citric acid to each jar to ensure safe acidity before processing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients (Per Pint Jar)<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Fresh, ripe but firm garden tomatoes<\/li>\n<li><strong>1 tablespoon bottled lemon juice<\/strong> <em>or<\/em> <strong>\u00bc teaspoon citric acid<\/strong> (recommended for safe canning)<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon canning or pickling salt (optional, for flavor)<\/li>\n<li>Boiling water, if needed to cover the tomatoes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Instructions<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Prepare the Tomatoes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Wash the tomatoes thoroughly under cool running water.<\/li>\n<li>Remove any bruised or damaged spots.<\/li>\n<li>If desired, peel the tomatoes by dipping them in boiling water for 30\u201360 seconds, then transferring them to ice water so the skins slip off easily.<\/li>\n<li>Slice the tomatoes to your preferred thickness. Slightly thicker slices tend to hold their shape better during storage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Prepare the Jars<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Wash canning jars, lids, and bands with hot, soapy water.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the jars hot until ready to fill.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Fill the Jars<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Add the bottled lemon juice or citric acid to each pint jar.<\/li>\n<li>If using, add the canning salt.<\/li>\n<li>Pack the tomato slices into the hot jars without crushing them.<\/li>\n<li>If needed, add boiling water to cover the tomatoes, leaving <strong>\u00bd inch (1.25 cm) of headspace<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Remove any trapped air bubbles using a non-metallic utensil and adjust the headspace if necessary.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe the jar rims clean and apply the lids and bands until fingertip tight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Process the Jars<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Place the jars into a boiling water bath canner, ensuring they are covered by at least 1\u20132 inches of water.<\/li>\n<li>Process according to current safe canning times for tomatoes, adjusting for your altitude if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. Cool and Store<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Carefully remove the jars and place them on a towel.<\/li>\n<li>Let them cool undisturbed for <strong>12\u201324 hours<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Check that each lid has sealed properly.<\/li>\n<li>Label the jars with the date and store them in a cool, dark, dry place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>To Serve<\/h2>\n<p>Open a jar, drain any excess liquid if desired, and season with a little salt, pepper, olive oil, or fresh herbs.
