Hi Garden friends in today's video I am going to show how to preserve your tomatoes, either from your garden, road side stand or a farmers market. The best way to preserve your tomatoes is to can them. I am going to show the easiest way to preserve your tomatoes using the water bath canning method.

I will show what is needed to start water bath canning, how to blanch your tomatoes and how to prepare your tomatoes for diced/stewed tomatoes and making tomato sauce.

To preserve your tomatoes is easy but time consuming if you have a lot of tomatoes. If you are going to preserve your tomatoes from your garden I suggest doing multiple small batches, as doing 1 1/2 bushels of tomatoes by myself was an all day and part of the next day process.

I am dedicating this video to Heather from @thekneadyhomesteader as she is recovering from oral surgery and can't do any canning for a bit until she is healed.

I hope you find this video helpful to preserve your tomatoes and if you have never water bath canned before it is very easy and not as intimidating as the pressure canner but now that I know how to use my pressure canner, I am not intimidated anymore.

Preserve your tomatoes to be able to eat during the winter months. Since I am from Michigan and 6 months out of the year is cold and with about 4 months of snow, having preserved tomatoes in your pantry is like a taste of sunshine in the winter, when sunshine is at a minimum.

Please, like, subscribe (if you enjoyed this video) and don't forget to share this video with someone who wants to learn how to preserve your tomatoes by water bath canning.

Live, Love, Laugh & Garden!
God Bless
