I peeled the tomatoes first by blanching them in boiling water for a few seconds. Then, dropped them in my sterilized jars. Notes on sterilizing at the bottom of this post on homemade marmalade. Basically, wash jars in hot suds and rinse in hot water. Put jars in a water-bath canner or on a rack set in a deep pot and cover with water. Bring water to a boil and boil jars, covered, 15 minutes from time steam emerges from pot. Turn off heat and add lids. Let jars and lids stand in hot water 10 minutes. Lift 1 jar from hot water with tongs and fill without drying. Lift both sections of 1 lid from hot water and screw on jar without drying. Repeat procedure for remaining jars and lids. To preserve with an airtight seal, put the jar in a deep pot. Add enough hot water to cover the far by 1 inch and bring to a boil. Boil the jar, covered, for 5 minutes and carefully transfer with tongs to a rack. Cool completely. Have fun!

I have never wanted tomatoes more! I am Italian and I love to cook dishes from the homeland. Tomatoes are a staple in my home. Thanks for some new ideas and some fun reading.
