Great straight forward demonstration. If I may suggest if doing this again perhaps mention that the lemon juice is to make it acidic (below 4.6 ph) so suitable for Water Canning. Also how long to Water Bath the tomatoes.
Thank you for those suggestions. It is hard to give suggestions on how long to boil or process in the canner because altitude makes a difference. But I do have a link in the blog post to find the right time for processing the tomatoes.
Little tip: peel your tomatoes over a bowl and save ALL the juice that drips off while peeling. Can them in their own juice instead of just water. Makes WAAAAAYYYYYYY better maters
@barid302 just fill each jar at least 3/4 of the way before adding whatever is leftover to the jars. Definitely wanna make sure all the jars get even juice
I don't understand the 'processing step at the end where you submerged the filled jars in water. How long? What temp of water? Or am I missing something.
@@leeestock7114they're asking about processing times because they simply do not know, it's not "overthinking" to ask for the parameters of a process they've never done before. And btw, it's not 10 min. So you're giving bad advice. It's 40 min for pint, 45 min for quart @sea level to 1000ft. Have some grace, re-read the question, and try not to be so snarky next time.
The processing part, I have not done that before, is that boiling water you have set the full jars in? and how long do they keep for is there a use by date? sorry I haven't done this before lol What if you don't have a canner, can you use a large pot on the stove?
Hello, thank you for your tutorial. Question: after you take off the band from the already processed jar, do you keep it off? Or do you tighten it back? Thank you for your response. 😊
Yeah I really wanted to see the actual process of putting it in the hot bath and how long to cook it and do you feel the water over the lids etc I guess I'll find another video
Yes, Use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice per pint and 2 tablespoons per quart. You can get the printable tutorial here, frugalfamilyhome.com/food/canning-food/how-to-can-tomatoes I hope that helps.
I was canning tomatoes yesterday and when I was half way through notice a sore on the base of both my thumbs, what should I do? Should I throw the whole batch away? I didn't javelin any lemon juice in the house to put I to my jars, I had put my jars into the dosh washer to sterilize them , I'd my tomatoes unsafe now do I need to discard the whole batch?😊
You're a great teacher and did very well with these instructions! However, my wife and I did an exact canning session of tomatoes a couple of years ago and we understand the need to add the lemon juice for the safety of the canned tomatoes however, we were personally shocked that the tomatoes no longer tasted like tomatoes but lemons? We just looked at each other and ask...WHAT are we missing because we considered the canned lemon flavored tomatoes unusable and immediately threw them out and have never canned tomatoes since?
@@tfor1quilterhow much citric acid per jar? I have pint jars and quart jars I’m going to can with this weekend and would love to know! I have citric acid laying around at home!
Selena, because processing time varies with altitude I have a link in the blog post so you can find the right processing time for your altitude.

@@soniad526 depending on where you live in relation to the sea is what she means by altitude so if you live high in the mountains, your time will be different. Tomatoes as you can see here in the video, our water bath, so big pot full of water about 1 inch over the top of the jars and you just boil it a pressure canner has a lid with a pressure gauge and is much different but you do not need for tomatoes
You can use a normal pot, just make sure to put a rack in the bottom to protect the jars from breakage and be sure to have a couple inches of water above the top of the jars. I hope that helps.

Around my parts, no one uses lemon juice, just some salt. I need to look into this further and see if it's just a being "super ultra-safe" canning idea....considering many people may not be caning correctly.
I can't give an accurate time to process in a boiling water canner as it varies for different elevations.

@thegreatoutdoors9769 it wasn't the best video ever but she explained everything just fine, but since you seem a little dim I'll give you the children's version, open your Google machine that I know you have since your on RUclips. Search "what is my altitude" write that number down because we both know a simple man like you is going to forget. Not ask the google how long to process tomatoes at whatever number you wrote down.

I have never water bath my tomatoes. I had a little acidic, content , lemon juice, etc. I don’t peel them. I do core them. I do add boiling water and I let them cool. I’ve been doing it this way for years. I don’t understand why people water bath tomatoes.
Wonderful video!!! 🎉 Simple and clear. Thank you for this!!

@@barid302 and you can always just add a little water if the juice doesn't fill all the jars
Can I add herbs and spices?
Thank you for taking the time to create this tutorial. It was very helpful.
great video . i like you make an example how to do it. to the point and clear. now i know how to do the rest. thank you.!
This was great. To the point, informative, and clear. 👍
Yes. Short and sweet.
Clear as mud! How long do they boil for? Very important! What’s the algorithm????????
I don't understand the 'processing step at the end where you submerged the filled jars in water. How long? What temp of water? Or am I missing something.
Depends on your altitude, size of jars. Look for Ball canning with times
Boiling ...10 to 12 mins...dont over think it

Hot
No salt necessary? So this is a water bath process and not a pressure cooking process correct?
ASMR! YOUR VOICE IS PERFECT FOR IT!!
Well done. I do add a little salt to mine also for flavor
I was wondering about salt. How much do you add per quart jar?
I love ur recipessss I’m trying this rn
Thanks!
wish you would have explained t6he part boiling the jars
10 to 12 mins....don't over think it
Hi you did a great job 👍❤️👍🍅 keep the videos coming 😘
Memorial Day 2024 Thank you for this information on canning tomatoes
Thankyou your explanation! 👍❤️From Hungary
Hi .how long time we store this. ?
Thank you for the video. May Iask how many minutes should I put in in bioling water?
Do you have to put lemon juice or the citrus acid canning from Ball because I do not like the ball citrus acid
How long do I boil them? I’m in Illinois
When you put the jars in the water, how much water? Do you cover the jars with water while boiling? Do you put a lid on pot they're boiling in?
Thanks for the tutorial helped me alot
Great video and great information
Hi loved your video, how long will they last canned? Thank TY
The processing part, I have not done that before, is that boiling water you have set the full jars in? and how long do they keep for is there a use by date? sorry I haven't done this before lol What if you don't have a canner, can you use a large pot on the stove?
Yes on pot size, use something to keep jars off bottom.
Great job!❤
Hi! can I ask if I can substitute lemon juice with vinegar instead?
How do you figure out the length of time to boil them with regards to altitude. I didn’t get that.
Simple Google it 🍅
Was that 1tbsp of lemon juice for only 1/2 pint if tomatoes?
It sounds like ALOT
What size jars??
How processed??
How long do these keep after canning?
Years if done right. Once opened they need to be used soon, like a regular tomato.
Thanks Mam I am glu to your channel today . How long can this be stored ?
A good rule of thumb once processed they should be used within a year. I hope that helps.
How do you get the jars hot? Boil them?
Great video! Our Early Girl harvest this year is looking quite promising. What size jars are you using?
Those are pint jars.......
@@kerriknight Thanks Kerri!
Great tutorial, Shelly!
Thanks so much!
Can I use reused jars for this method? Or does it have to be new mason jars? Thx
You can reuse
Great tutorial. I just followed these instructions and great outcome. Thankyou so much for sharing. 🌟
You are so welcome!
Hello, thank you for your tutorial. Question: after you take off the band from the already processed jar, do you keep it off? Or do you tighten it back? Thank you for your response. 😊
The bands are not required for storage. Just for processing.
@@razor_clem awesome. Thank you
Good video. Thank you!
You're welcome
Very good thank you
Very helpful 👍🏽👍🏽
So glad!
Yeah I really wanted to see the actual process of putting it in the hot bath and how long to cook it and do you feel the water over the lids etc I guess I'll find another video
thank you
Is this water bath canning?
how long do you process for ?
What is the size of the jars?
What do you mean at the end of the video, boil them at the altitude you have?
What about preparing the bottles before filling them?
Hi @frugal family. May I know the shelf life of canned tomatoes?
The USDA recommends using home canned items within a year. I hope that helps.
I’ve used 2 year old canned tomatoes. No problems.
How long do we leave in the water for altitude 980 ft above sea level?
Awesome video 👍👍👍👍
Thank you.
how long do i boil the jars
Do I need to add an acid?
Yes, Use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice per pint and 2 tablespoons per quart. You can get the printable tutorial here, frugalfamilyhome.com/food/canning-food/how-to-can-tomatoes I hope that helps.
How long can they stay canned before they are off

do you have to add lemon? im allergic to citrus
Vinegar also works
I did not peel my tomatoes before canning them. Should I throw them away?
They'll be okay it won't ruin them
No you can still use them. I peel mine because the peel can get tough after processing them for canning.
Can I can green tomatoes?
2:47 - what is considered 'processed'?
Can they be freezed
What can i add besides lemon juice?
citric acid is what i use.

I used Citric acid in the powder form and did not get and unwanted flavor.

How long to boil in pressure cooker. The main part you missed.. altitude?

Can we boil them in a normal pot?
You can use a normal pot, just make sure to put a rack in the bottom to protect the jars from breakage and be sure to have a couple inches of water above the top of the jars. I hope that helps.
No salt?
It would have been nice to say what size jar you are using to how much lemon juice and say how long you are cooking them for
Isn't it better to just whole can them? You can quarter them after opening.
Can't you add your seasonings to the jar before sealing?
interesting idea 💡
I think yes. Safe and Basil etc… garlic onions? But I’m here looking for the answer from someone else! But I think so
Pls won’t the lemon juice add a sour taste to the tomatoes? Pls what’s its importance here
Why do you remove the tomato skin?
so you dont have them floating at top of jar or have to remove them before you eat them
The tomato skins get really tough while canning, so it's best to remove them first.
i thought you were suppose to put them in a kettle of hot water and boil for around 15-30 minutes after putting them in jars.
You do

Suggestion to all: compost your scraps
SHELLY!!!
HOW LONG DO I BOIL THEM?
“MOST IMPORTANT PART!!!
Have you been hitting the cooking sherry?!
It depends on your altitude, which she says in the video.
If i accidently cut my finger off can i can it and take it to the emergency room?
Can it first!
Boil ten minutes?
Mattie, the time to process will depend on your altitude. I have a link to the boiling time in the blog post. I hope that helps.
I forgot to put the lemon juice in the jars. I boiled them around 11 AM today.. What can I do about this?
Around my parts, no one uses lemon juice, just some salt. I need to look into this further and see if it's just a being "super ultra-safe" canning idea....considering many people may not be caning correctly.
What about the seeds ?
Newbie here, why cant we leave the skin on?
You can but they are undesirable after canning. They're tough; not like a fresh tomato.
Video was nice but you left out some major points
What’s a ‘canner’?
It's a special pot used to preserve food. But I'm not sure if she pressure canned or water bath canned them because there is a big difference
Missing the canning temp and time info.
I can't give an accurate time to process in a boiling water canner as it varies for different elevations. But you can find a graph here for the length of time you'll need to boil at your elevation, nchfp.uga.edu/how/can/how-do-i-can-tomatoes/whole-or-halved-tomatoes-packed-in-water/

You told us how to process tomatoes, not how to actually can
One dramatic person added to the list 🤣
BTW you need to dry the rim and lid off better
No salt?
