Canning Tomatoes-Water Bath Canning

The water bath processing method uses in home canning for high acid foods. Jars are filled with food, sealed loosely with a lid, then boiled completely covered in water. In this video, I show you how to can tomatoes using that process.

Tip:
If the water canning method calls for more than 10 minutes of processing time in boiling water, experts say that this will fully sterilize the jars without any need for early sterilization. BUT..I would warm up the jars so they aren't submerged in boiling water cold, after filling with tomatoes, as they could crack.

Your information has inspired me to include canning some of my tomatoes this year.

These tomatoes are delicious in soups and spaghetti sauces plus red rice!!

Good looking tomatoes Liz. But I just use them all, including the big ones. And any color. Where's your salt? And use a wooden spoon to get the air bubbles out. Never metal. Beautiful!

So do you leave the jars in the water at a full boil for 1 hr 25 minutes? Thanks in advance.

Thk you very informative. Don't worry about those nay sayers out there, we don't see their videos.

[joeworden]

An hour, twenty minutes? I hope that was just a commentary error. Generally water bath is 40 minutes.

[lisakirby]

Deliciuos! When do you store them..and for how long

[lindayoung]

Great video. But you should never use metal, Like a spoon, On the inside of your jar because it could actually scratch it. And the jar might break if you use it for pressure canning. Just to heads up. Your tomatoes look beautiful!

Question for the veteran canners here: is it normal to have a little residue of tomato on the outside of the jar after pulling it out of the water bath? This has been the case with my first attempts at this method, even though the lids sealed and theres air space inside the jars. Why is this?

Hi Liz I have a question does the lemon juice or citric acid change the flavor of your tomatoes, does it give it a tangy taste Thanks
