[Video] How To Can Tomatoes

Tomatoes are here! Now what to do with them all? Canning tomatoes is easier than you may think; learn how below!

Ready to preserve the summer bounty for the winter months? Tomatoes are one of the easiest things to can – and are quite safe, when done properly.

Modern varieties of tomatoes can be sweeter and less acidic, so they are considered borderline when it comes to canning safety. To be safe, add lemon juice or citric acid to your jars before filling.

You may not be able to eat all those delicious tomatoes that you grew right now, but if you preserve them for later through canning, you can enjoy your garden’s bounty all winter long!

An avid gardener since childhood, I love sharing my passion for gardening with others! I have gardened in a number of different climates and settings, from large fenced garden plots, to tiny patio and container gardens, and I firmly believe that everyone can learn to grow at least some of their own food - no matter where you live. Growing your own food can help you take control of your own health and food supply, and there has never been a better time to get started!
