Finally a video that didn’t overwhelm and confuse the crap out of me. Thank you

You were a life saver. I’ve only bottled/canned with my mum and unfortunately she has passed away and I have no family over here in Indy. Your tutorial was so helpful and uncomplicated. Thanks again 😀

Okay. Been canning tomatoes since the 1970s and a couple of things. I know it's recommended to add the citric acid ... never did it. Tomatoes have a lot of acid. Also, once the tomatoes are packed in the Mason jars, I take a sterile butter knife and incert it in the jar, moving it slightly around the inner circumference to allow air bubbles to escape. Last; fill the jar leaving about 1/4 inch of space between the top of the tomatoes and the lid of the jar. A couple more tidbits of advice, if you're using non-GMO, organic tomatoes, I wouldn't use any vessels made of plastic or aluminum. Acid increases the leaching of chemicals out of the plastic and if you use aluminum pots, they tend to create a metallic taste to any acid foods.

Canning tomatoes for the first time. Thank you!. Great video.

Thank you for the video. My husband and I just bought a farm and have a lot of tomatoes just starting to ripen. We want to preserve them for the next year by canning them but this will be our first time ever attempting it. I remember as a child my grandmother canning so many things but unfortunately this skill and knowledge was never passed down to me. This is why I have turned to YouTube and all the creative people who make these videos. I want to tap into the skills and knowledge that they have used in their families, sometimes for generations and incorporate it into our new life on the farm and pass that information down to my daughters and their families. So thank you again. Happy Canning from Tammie at Old Maple Farm in the pacific northwest.

I do mine the easiest way, which is cook the tomatoes in a big pot on top of the stove & pour the cooked tomatoes into sanitized jars taken from the dishwasher still warm. I don’t use citric acid or lemon juice, just salt. My mama & I did it until she was 90 years old & always came out delicious & sealed properly. I put the lids & rings on the stove & bring to a boil to kill bacteria also. Great video. GA & TN tomatoes are delicious. 😋

I've watched the video five times and I think I got it...I followed each and every age to the letter...now will be the moment of truth when I take them out the pot....now I didn't have one of those fancy pots with the cradle, but I did the best I could...thanks for all the helpful info...

I usually take the seeds out before adding them to the jars. Besides adding salt I also add fresh basil. Great video thank you.

I usually freeze my tomatoes, today I will be putting your video to the test....first time doing you both....great job superwoman!!!!

I found your canning video last year for my first-time canning. It worked perfectly. Watched it again for a refresher! Thanks for sharing !!

I would like to add a couple of things that were not spoken, but I'm sure you did.  1.  The jars need to be put on a towel, not directly on the counter. 2.  The rims of the jars need to be wiped down before the lids are placed on the jar. This removes any debris to assure a good seal. 3.  Jars need to sit, undisturbed, for 24 hours.   I enjoyed this video.  Thank you for your efforts.

I'm a beginner. I love this video! So easy and thorough! Great job!

Childhood memories right here every year my dad and mom would grow a giant garden and every year we would make tomatoes, tomato soup, vegetable soup anything that could be put in a can/glass jar whatever you want to call it but we did it to the truth I kind of miss getting up before anyone else would think of start preparing for the day of canning vegetables in a water-bath canner on a wood fire most people would say I'm crazy but I'd give anything to go back and spend at least one day of canning vegetables in glass jars.
