Summer home canning guide for tomatoes and juice
Home economists advise civilians to buy less canned tomato products this autumn and winter. Follow USDA directions for boil water bath canning using clean equipment. Select ripe firm tomatoes, peel, quarter, heat in own juice, and pack into hot jars with salt. Process 10 minutes at sea level, longer at higher elevations. Tomato juice can be made similarly, using softer fruit and a fine sieve before resealing jars.
