Zubereitung von Canned Fresh Tomatoes
- Blanch Tomatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add your tomatoes one by one and let them boil for 15 seconds. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Peel and Core: Once cool enough to handle, peel the skins off the tomatoes. Using a small knife, core each tomato, removing the stem and any hard parts. Leave the tomatoes whole.
- Prepare Jars: Sterilize your jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. While jars are sterilizing, prepare the brine: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup white sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar and salt are dissolved.
- Pack Tomatoes into Jars: Gently pack the whole tomatoes tightly into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
- Add Brine and Remove Air Bubbles: Carefully pour the hot brine over the tomatoes, leaving that 1/2 inch headspace. Use a clean utensil to remove any air bubbles trapped in the jars. Wipe the rims clean with a damp cloth.
- Seal and Process: Place the lids and rings on the jars, tightening them fingertip tight. Process in a boiling water bath for 45 minutes, ensuring the jars are fully submerged in boiling water. Adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specific instructions.
- Cool and Check Seals: Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely undisturbed. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check that the lids are concave (pushed down) indicating a proper seal.
