Preserve the Harvest: How to Bottle Whole Tomatoes

Tomatoes are incredibly easy to grow in a survival garden. Bottling whole tomatoes in their own juice is a great way to preserve the harvest. You can learn to bottle garden produce and increase your level of self-reliance.
In this video, we will share with you the simple process that we use to ensure we have delicious tomatoes ready to add flavor to our stored goods all winter long.
You do not need any special equipment other than standard canning supplies to bottle whole tomatoes. These are a few basic canning supplies that we have found to be helpful and make bottling easier.

I love that feeling you get at the end of a long day of canning when you just get to look over all of your hard work and smile.

[@Unifyhandmade]

I've watched countless videos on water bath canning tomatoes and this is by far my favorite video. Straight to the point and all the helpful information in one video. Thank you!

[@preppingforlife264]

No I do not know how, however we have been trying to learn so this video is perfect. Seems simple thank you for sharing

[@BlessedbtheRock]

Thank you for all the information.

[@bearrivermama6414]

Really clear guidance on canning 👍🏻 anyone who hasn't dipped their toe in the pond of canning yet can confidently can tomatoes now👏🏻. I am LOVING my tomato powder! I got 14 lbs of tomatoes into a little over a pint jar. 😳 it's really good too! I still canned some but will definitely do more powder in the future. My husband brought home 38 pheasants yesterday so I will be canning that soon.

Your tomatoes look wonderful!

[@hillbillyprepper3987]

Hi P.P., Another great video for everyone to experience there own canning. Best regards, Jarrod

[@coneyisland4568]

Thanks for this. I've grown tomatoes for the first time this year and wasn't expecting such a huge crop. Now I know what to do with them.

[@whoiskatrinakelly]

Thanks for the level of detail in this video. Hopefully I can’t go wrong now!

[@KellyS_77]

I don’t have a garden :( I have a north facing apartment that gets almost no sun. My favorite thing to can was whole cranberry sauce, using the recipe from the Ball preserving website.

[@thatbusinesstrainer1414]

Awesome, thanks!

Canning not Bottling. Good video

[@brightstarr57]

Cool video! Thanks!

[@margaretpadley7834]

I love to us them as you do, then use in the winter for pass, casseroles etc As a child we would eat them as a bowl of vegetables

[@godzprincezz8285]

Would love to see how to videos of other items you can. Especially meat canning.

[@geod3589]

I'd like to learn how to can meat also!

[@RYNOTANE]

The comments are old so I didn’t go through them but I really want your chilli recipes!!! Any chance of getting those?

[@josephheavener56]

Gonna be making some homemade chicken soup to put up this evening

[@kathykelner7030]

I was wondering, can i water bath can ny homemade tomato sauce. Whole tomatoes cooked with spices. Hubby doesn't want to can whole tomatoes alone. Any suggestions. Love your videos, Thanks for all the help!

[@1fauxhawk1]

The process seems fun. How do you check for sealing? and is that process the same when checking it later in storage. Thank you for your videos, I am new to this and you make it so easy with the step by step process, thank you greatly 🙂

[@1fauxhawk1]

@@TheProvidentPrepper Great! Thank you, greatly appreciated

[@childofyah-u-ah1370]

Do you guys ferment tomatoes, if so can you do one in that process?

[@nc8524]

I am canning for the first time- peaches. Question on prepping fruit- is it okay to rinse peaches, slice, then set aside in fruit fresh water first before blanching? Is it absolutely necessary to blanch or can I just cut the peels off instead then put in jars? I ask because whole peaches slippery after removing peel and harder to cut. I gave up last night and only prepped fruit- the ones I tried to blanch whole then peel are pretty mangled. Is it safe to resume trying to can later today using same peaches cold from my fridge?

[@user-hl9bk1hb2m]

Would you make a video showing us how to make your Pinto Bean Chicken Chili please?

[@olliebear5143]

Did you add water to jars?

[@conniepine8642]

Can't I use citric acid instead of Lemmon juice

[@Kali08012]

Can you add garlic to the jars, or will they change the acidity too much? I’m asking for safety issues. My mom canned, which kinda worries me bc she hasn’t done it for YEARS and believes she doesn’t need to follow recipes. She did quart jars of tomatoes but only added 1 TBSP of lemon juice. Is that dangerous? I don’t want to be worried bc she worked so hard. But I can’t help but think it’s dangerous. Botulism frightens me, I’m not even sure if she sanitized properly.

[@jenbaidav]

Do you peel the cherry tomatoes too when you bottle them? That seems like it would be time consuming. 😉

[@dalepres1]

I get the technicality but, really, just call it canning. From the original Mason jars, it has always been called canning. www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/brief-history-mason-jar-180975546/ And, in fact, you don't bottle your tomatoes. Those are jars in your hands, not bottles. wikidiff.com/jar/bottle

[@geod3589]

Thanks for another video; I was under the impression tomatoes should be pressure canned.

[@vs-cr9lv]

And or either,the canner doesn't require the lemon juice

[@alexsandrianegron4741]

I thought you guys said this was going to be easy?. Lol. It seemed easy enough until the end where you have to put up lids in the boiling water and then top the jars. Then after that...put all the jars inside of a boiling Bath or somthing?
