The absolute easiest way to can tomatoes!  This step-by-step photo tutorial will show you how to can tomatoes in no time.

I started canning diced tomatoes several years ago after having an “aha moment” one evening while preparing dinner.  As I was opening a can of diced tomatoes that I needed for the recipe I was making, I suddenly wondered why in the world I never tried canning them myself.  I mean how hard could it be?

I decided to give it a try and it worked like a charm!  It was not only super simple, it has also saved me from needing to buy diced tomatoes from the store.

How To Can Delicious Diced Tomatoes

Ingredients

– fresh tomatoes (approximately 2 3/4 lb. for 1 quart jar) – salt (1 tsp. per quart or 1/2 tsp. per pint) – bottled lemon juice (2 tbsp. per quart or 1 tbps. per pint)

No. 1

Instructions

Wash tomatoes thoroughly. Cut out the stem and any defects or blemishes. Some people also peel the tomatoes, but I never do and we honestly have not noticed the peelings at all and I’m even funny about textures like that in food.

No. 2

Cut up the tomatoes. Slice tomatoes into about ½ inch thick slices, then dice them into whatever size you want.  I love using my Vidalia Chop Wizard for this!
