How to Make Easy And Flavourful Canned Tomatoes

  1. Sterilize 12 (1-liter) jars or 5 (1-liter) jars. Ensure jars and lids are thoroughly clean.
  2. Prepare your spice layers: In each jar, place ½ teaspoon rock salt, a few grinds of fresh black pepper, ⅛ teaspoon whole peppercorns, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 basil leaf, 1 sprig of Greek oregano, and 1 teaspoon Italian parsley.
  3. Blanch or peel ripe tomatoes (approximately 6-7 lbs for 12 - 1 liter jars, or 3-3.5 lbs for 5-1 liter jars).
  4. Carefully pack blanched tomatoes into the prepared jars, leaving approximately ½ inch headspace at the top of each jar.
  5. Remove air bubbles by gently running a clean chopstick or non-metallic utensil along the sides of the jars.
  6. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth to ensure a proper seal.
  7. Place the lids and rings on the jars, tightening fingertip-tight.
  8. Process in a boiling water bath (jars completely submerged) for 33 minutes.
  9. Carefully remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely undisturbed. You should hear the satisfying 'pop' sound of the seals.
  10. Check seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, the jar is sealed. Store in a cool, dark, and dry place.
