CANNING TOMATOES | In Their Own Juice | Homestead Pantry Staple

This video is about Canning Homestead Tomatoes in Juice!! Here I show you how to preserve homegrown tomatoes in their own juice for use in favorite recipes. This process isn't hard, but it does take some time to get the job done. Well worth the effort though!! Thanks for taking the time to see how this process is done! These tomatoes can be used in soups, for making homemade tomato soup, stews, and homemade pasta sauce. We go through a lot of these canned tomatoes each year, so I tend to preserve them in large quantities.

FAQ: What is the shelf-life of home-canned goods?
As long as the lids/seals are intact to the jars and there is no evident content spoilage (discoloration, foam, froth, malodorous, or any other obvious signs), they are good for many months or years. "Looks good, smells good, is good". We have eaten our home-canned foods that are upwards of 10 years old from the original processing date. When in doubt, throw it out.

FAQ: What happens if you don't sterilize canning jars before canning?
Sterilization of canning jars is not required for safe food preservation if the food item is processed for at least 10 minutes in a water bath or pressure canner. Any harmful microorganisms will be destroyed during the canning process (National Center for Home Food Preservation).
It is important to start with clean canning jars. Wash jars in hot soapy water, rinsing well leaving to air dry on a towel. You may also use a dishwasher to wash the jars. Inspect each jar before filling, looking for any cracks or chips to the rim, body, or bottom.
