Canning tomatoes is great especially for those who like Italian cuisine. Especially tomatoes canned in their own juice serve us all year round as a great basis for many Italian recipes. Of course we can also use them for our classic tomato sauce and soup. Tomatoes are canned in August at the peak of the season, when there are the most and have an excellent taste. We choose tomato varieties suitable for canning. Can fully ripe fruit.

What you need for canning tomatoes:

• tomatoes
• herbs to taste (basil, thyme, chili peppers, garlic)
• canning jar

Wash all ingredients thoroughly. We select only high-quality, well-ripened fruits.

Cut the tomatoes into quarters and put them in clean jars.

Tomatoes can be scalded and peeled, or can be canned with peel (after being opened, they can be easily peeled).

Press the tomatoes into the glasses properly. If we want to produce flavored tomatoes, we interlay the individual layers of tomatoes with well-washed herbs, according to our taste.

Wipe the glass clean with a clean napkin, close the lid tightly and boil at 80 ° C for 30 min.

We use such cooked tomatoes throughout the year as a semi-finished product for various recipes.
