How To Can Tomatoes - The Easy Way

[@AC-vq5jk]

I love this. It’s just a simple straight forward approach to an instructional video. He says in 6 minutes what 99% of KZbinrs would take 30 minutes to say. I’ve been wanting to try canning for awhile, but was always a little afraid because videos make it seem so complicated. This is the first video that made me feel like I could do it. Great job. Thank you.

[@conniemurrie2600]

My mother passed away at the age of 95 and she used this method for 70 years. No one got sick, and we always enjoyed her good canned tomatoes. Thank you for your video!

[@KathySwank-l1f]

So glad to see this method for canning tomato juice. We have done this for 60 years and never had an issue but everyone seems to thing you should pressure can them or the bath method. This so easy to do and I'm glad to see that we're not the only one using this method.

[@ilovemycat333]

Your actually the only one who show how to process the tomatoes without the big machinery. I can actually do it in my own kitchen. Thank you!!

[@maxpain1947]

I have canned tomatoes with lemon juice for years. I opened a can that was 6 years old just a few days ago. Found it while I was moving. Honestly tasted great, just like the day it canned.

[@August222]

This is by far the best tomato canning video on KZbin. I watch this video each summer just to verify that it is really this simple. I do it exactly this way and we enjoy at least one amazing sauce dish per week throughout the winter here in the north. Thank you for the great content.

[@brewcityboatclub8299]

Lots of weird advice ive seen on the internet about canning tomatoes, but I know I can trust a channel called Lord Got Tomatoes

[@lordgottomatoes]

Best comment ever!

[@grantv2313]

Lmao

[@TheSunRiseKid]

That glove snap though!!!😂 Great video! I don’t have all the fancy canning stuff but I have about 50 to 75 tomato plants getting ready to produce!!!

[@njorogewanjiru4667]

After watching so many complicated videos I almost didn't believe when you said, 'and that's how you can a tomato'.

[@jonihughey1352]

My mom always puts a teaspoon of salt in hers, no lemon juice. A friend told me she puts her jars in the dishwasher & puts her tomatoes in them while they’re still hot. Thanks for the video.

[@Mojojazzonline]

Wow a new trick to me on the oven for heating the jars! Excellent

[@GARDENER42]

Good video of a far simpler method than all those requiring relatively (or very) expensive specific items which aren't easily found this side of the Pond. Cheers Mike UK

[@BoiAmina]

*Double Thumbs Up* Your process is genuinely easy as you have stated. I think the bonus for me is the coring after cooking, so much easier and quicker. Thanks for sharing and may God bless ya!

[@Jennifer-1724]

I started my seeds outside Mothers day weekend. I have around 50 tomato plants that are doing amazing. It takes more patience looking at everyone's green house tomatoes almost ready for picking while mine are just getting blooms. I wont be canning until the first of September. Glad I found this video. One question I use Tattler reusable lids do you think this method work for e lids? Maybe I should keep tomatoes boiling as I put them in the jars.

[@bryanvagenos5089]

you made it look so easy, an oven wow, as an engineer i should have realized heat is heat. Nice......

[@wvg4800]

Are your jars just sitting on the oven racks or are they in a pan. If in a pan, is there water in the pan. Are the jars upside down in the oven?

[@lordgottomatoes]

Just on the rack right side up.

[@NolaGB]

My grandmother & aunts, who had no pressure canner, canned tomatoes this way. She passed away at 94yo and no one ever got sick.

[@Jennifer-1724]

My granny canned everything outside under a fire water bath. So did my aunt. I am thankful I know how to do it that way however thank the Lord for pressure canner and gas stove.

[@chriscole9466]

Mine too. This is the way my mom taught me. I'm 73 and none of us got sick. I'm going to can some this way this year.

[@sharonbrowne704]

Can you add salt and garlic and spices to pot before it goes into the jars?

[@IChoseLove]

So you sanitize jars in oven on 225 but can you tell me for how long???

[@sharonbrowne704]

Can you add salt,garlic and spices to the pot before putting into the jars?

[@lordgottomatoes]

I don’t see why not.

[@bokunator]

Great video! Best intro of any food channel. What temp did you have your oven on?

[@lordgottomatoes]

225. Water boils at 212.

[@kierstinolpinski9157]

Now what if I want to make tomato sauce for spaghetti do you take a jar, reheat, and add all the other ingredients?

[@lordgottomatoes]

Yes ma'am!

[@cathycudney393]

I freeze my tomatoes Wash dry and keep in my freezer until I have enough to can. Then I put frozen in hot water. The skin splits off I use a knife to cut out the core and cook and can them. Easy You can use an immersion blender if you want more of a tomato sauce.

[@matthewvance4277]

I have a couple questions....How long u simmer the tomatoes for and how long do u let jars get hot in oven at 220 for how long....Im doing this method..

[@lilyavery8230]

I would personally put the jars in the oven, wash them, then put in the oven to dry and become sterile at 220 degrees while you are doing the other processes...they will reach the temp and be fine to start canning...boil the tomatoes on the stove until they are obviously boiling and then simmer while placing them into the jars to be sealed. you can always use a thermometer to check the heat content in the tomatoes...but boiling is key and you're all set.

[@lordgottomatoes]

Take them out of a hot dishwasher and stick them in the oven.

[@riseshine5191]

how many mins in the water bath canner do i put them in for?

[@dianawilliams-coe7747]

Can you do a video on your container you use to grow food in?... How many plants in each and what is your dirt mixture??

[@lordgottomatoes]

We use earth boxes and 3x4 raised beds: 2 plants in the earth boxes and 6 in the raised beds. In the earthboxes we use Miracle Grow potting soil. In the raised beds, the mixture is roughly 5 parts Timberline topsoil to 5 parts Miracle Grow raised bed mix to 1 part Black Kow near the surface.

[@JeffWashington-k2t]

Dear Sir , I have followed this video to a T. I love this method but I am not getting a pop from the top?

[@lordgottomatoes]

Make sure the tomatoes, lids, and jars are hot and don’t fill to the rim. Leave about an inch of space to form a vacuum. Make sure the rim of the jar has been wiped clean to get a good seal with the lid. You’ve got this!

[@timkunkel7864]

So when you are actually canning the tomatoes and screw the lid on how long does it take for the middle part to suck in and be sealed? I tried this method a week ago on one small batch of tomatoes and though t it didn't work after 10-15 minutes so I just put the jar in the fridge and looked at it today and it actually sealed. Never heard it suck sealed but its sealed.

[@lordgottomatoes]

Just depends on temps and atmospheric pressure etc etc but if it seals you’re all set.

[@reneeniehaus5751]

Do the jars have to be all the way to the top? I filled to just below the threads and I did get a seal on the jars. But when I showed my husband, he asked if they are supposed to be filled to the top. Now, I’m concerned.

[@lordgottomatoes]

You’re fine. When I’ve over filled them in the past I’ve had jars that didn’t seal as there was no room to form a vacuum.

[@victorianelson5560]

how long do you keep the jars in the oven?

[@lordgottomatoes]

30 minutes or so. Crank them up to 350 initially to speed up the process if needed.

[@sylviesavoie4896]

How long can these tomato jars be stored...????

[@chelseystone8776]

What happens if you don’t add the lemon juice?

[@muhongayireyvonne5654]

But how do you conserve them? In the fridge? And how long can the tomato long-lasting?

[@lordgottomatoes]

If you can’t eat them within a couple years I’d give them away. But they’d probably last 5 10 maybe 20 years on the shelf if you reheated them. Maybe longer. Great question.

[@belindareynolds1469]

This is how I do it too! Still alot of work, but not like some processes I've seen!

If you freeze the tomatoes before you start, the skins will pop of in hot tap water.

I don't have enough freezer space to hold all the tomatoes it takes to can.

So you don't have to put it in a pressure canner

Will this method also work for squash ?

[@momoflittleladies]

No!! Squash is not acidic. It will spoil unless you pressure can it.

Why the lemon juice just wondering im doing my first year of canning

[@lordgottomatoes]

The acid helps with the preservation and just brings out the flavor in spaghetti, lasagna, chili, any homemade pasta sauce.

[@TheIfeomaFine]

@@lordgottomatoes nice video. So what if I add vinegar while boiling for 20 minutes will it help with the preservation? Or oil in place of lemon juice?

can you do the lids in the oven at the same time?
