Canning Tomatoes-Water Bath Canning

The water bath processing method uses in home canning for high acid foods. Jars are filled with food, sealed loosely with a lid, then boiled completely covered in water. In this video, I show you how to can tomatoes using that process.
Tip:
If the water canning method calls for more than 10 minutes of processing time in boiling water, experts say that this will fully sterilize the jars without any need for early sterilization. BUT..I would warm up the jars so they aren't submerged in boiling water cold, after filling with tomatoes, as they could crack.

Your information has inspired me to include canning some of my tomatoes this year.

[@YB-PC-BYourself]

I am learning all I can about preserving and canning. I am a noob, a little nervous, and scared, but I want to fill up a pantry. Ty, for sharing your knowledge.

[@emorel48]

These tomatoes are delicious in soups and spaghetti sauces plus red rice!!

[@deborahcameron6772]

Definitely I will try canning my tomatoes. I usually freeze over the winter months. I usually have tomatoes throughout the year. Now canning is a must. Ready to go 😘

Sweet voice, and concise information. Thank you.

[@jcbrook9463]

Great instructions.

[@wemcal]

Great video and wonderful information

[@stanclayton221]

Thanks Liz! I just received my water bath canning kit and your video gave me enough detail to get started!

[@bradlane3662]

Good looking tomatoes Liz. But I just use them all, including the big ones. And any color. Where's your salt? And use a wooden spoon to get the air bubbles out. Never metal. Beautiful!

GREAT video. Ty

Your voice is amazing

[@tcideh4929]

Nearly all the research I have done only water baths between 35-60mins, 90mins seem a bit excessive.
Why for so long?

[@artistheart5272]

Water bath for an HOUR AND 25 mins?

[@zandrawalker9553]

Thk you very informative. Don't worry about those nay sayers out there, we don't see their videos.

[@kay3812]

Hi Liz I have a question does the lemon juice or citric acid change the flavor of your tomatoes,does it give it a tangy taste Thanks

[@RainbowObsidian777]

No, it does not. 👍

[@artistheart5272]

It’s actually addictive!
I absolutely LOVE and can’t get enough.. I pop open a can of canned tomatoes and eat the entire jar!!

[@bradlane3662]

They will not change the taste. But some people use vinegar, which definitely will!

[@steverichardson8655]

Question for the veteran canners here: is it normal to have a little residue of tomato on the outside of the jar after pulling it out of the water bath? This has been the case with my first attempts at this method, even though the lids sealed and theres air space inside the jars. Why is this?

[@christophermorrow4439]

The jars don't fully seal until they sit for a while. As they cool down, hot air escapes and eventually - if you're standing around them - you'll hear the lid pop. While they're in the water bath, you'll notice air bubbles escaping from the jar into the water, so if there are tomatoes in the jars some of that material is likely to escape.

[@lindayoung2959]

Great video. But you should never use metal, Like a spoon, On the inside of your jar because it could actually scratch it. And the jar might break if you use it for pressure canning. Just to heads up. Your tomatoes look beautiful!

[@RecipeswithLiz]

Thank you for the tip. I'll make sure not to use this in future

[@ladyann5778]

I just use my method

[@lisakirby6645]

[@wooderdsaunders4640]
