Tomatoes - Italian Style Stewed for Canning Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by rainmaker

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 quarts (20 cups) tomatoes, peeled, cored ( the stem at the top) and quartered
4 cup chopped onions
4 cups chopped bell peppers (green and red)
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt per quart jar

Steps:

  • Blanch, peel, core and quarter tomatoes. To blanch a tomato, you drop tomato into boiling water for 15 seconds then drop tomato into ice water or just peel. The skin will peel off easily. Remember, core is just taking the stem part out of the top of the tomato and the bottom part. Heat olive oil in a large dutch oven or stainless steel pan. Add garlic and oregano, cook till garlic is tender and oregano is fragrant (about 2 minutes). Add chopped onion and peppers and cook until tender (about 5 minutes). Add tomatoes, vinegar and sugar, simmer uncovered about 45 minutes or until desired consistency (you will need to cook longer if tomatoes are watery). Place in hot sterilized quart jars, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the top of each quart jar, leave 1/2 inch space at the top, place lids on and place in hot water bath, bring water back to boil and start timing for 40 minutes, remove and let cool. For jars that do not seal, remove lids and clean top of jar, replace with new lid and re-bath jars.

CANNED STEWED TOMATOES



CANNED STEWED TOMATOES image

I have been making these for 25 years or better & you can either just eat them straight from the fridge or use in chili or other dishes. I use them in chili, Italian soup, goulash, eat as a cold veggie at meals when we don't have fresh ones. You could buy them in the stores but I never could find a recipe to can them myself so...

Number Of Ingredients 6

tomatoes
bell peppers, any color or mixed
onions
minced garlic
celery
canning salt

Steps:

  • 1. Cut up celery, onions (slivers) bell pepper, & minced garlic (store bought is ok if you don't have a lot of fresh) Keep garlic seperate. Don't add with veggies at this time. I use equal parts of all veggies & then add several Tb. of minced garlic to pot of tomatoes when I go to heat them.
  • 2. When you cut the veggies just place them in a large bowl & scoop into tomatoes as much as is needed. Set aside for now.
  • 3. Slip skins on tomatoes by plunging into boiling water for about 2-3 minutes, then plunging into a sink of cold water. This is refered to as shocking them. If you have stored the tomatoes in fridge until you have enough to can, set them out to get to room temp first. Core tomatoes & cut in half if large. If small, leave whole.
  • 4. The white pan I have here held 11 quarts of stewed tomatoes.
  • 5. Place 8 cups of your veggie mixture in large granite pot or stainless steel (not aluminum). To your pot of veggies, add about 4 or 5 of your large tomatoes that have been cut up & squeeze to make a juice. Just enough to barely cover veggies. Heat for about 10-15 minutes until it starts to give it up. Just heat through. You still want the veggies tender-crisp as they will cook more in the hot bath.
  • 6. Add your prepared tomtoes & about 5 T. minced garlic to this size pot now & continue heating just until hot.
  • 7. Fill quart jars adding 1/2 Tablespoon of canning salt per quart. Wipe jar rims so no food particles are on it. (I didn't say it was gonna be a neat job-refer to picture.)Place heated lids on just finger tight.
  • 8. Hot bath for 10 minutes. Start timing when water comes to boil.

ITALIAN-STYLE CANNED TOMATOES



Italian-Style Canned Tomatoes image

Canned tomatoes are a home canner's dream. Who doesn't want to gaze at rows of jars of their own home-canned tomatoes lined up like soldiers in the middle of winter? That's winning! The deal is that to do anything of any quantity, you have to put up a lot of tomatoes. According to the National Center for Home Preservation, an average of 21 pounds is needed per canner load of 7 quarts! Please notice this recipe is for 1 single quart and you will need to scale up accordingly.

Time 3h

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds plum tomatoes
2 cups tomato juice
2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice or 1/2 teaspoon citric acid (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large basil leaves

Steps:

  • Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet or line it with a clean towel. Set aside.
  • Wash the tomatoes. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Cut a small "X" in the blossom end, or bottom, of each tomato with a paring knife. Dip the tomatoes in the boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds, then immediately plunge them into the ice bath. Slip off the skins and remove the cores.
  • Heat the tomato juice in a small non-reactive pot until simmering. Place the canning rack in the canner and fill the pot with water; bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Place a still-hot, clean quart canning jar (see Cook's Notes) on the prepared baking sheet. (This will help contain any dribbles or spills and prevent the jars from directly touching the metal.) Place the lemon juice and salt in the jar. Add the basil leaves. Pack the tomatoes into the jar one at a time, pressing firmly to remove any air pockets and leaving at least 1/2 inch of headroom. Cover the tomatoes in the jar with the hot tomato juice, leaving 1/2 inch of headroom.
  • Using tongs, place the jars on the rack in the canner. The water should cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Cover the canner. Return the water to a boil and boil gently for 85 minutes (at altitudes less than 1,000 feet elevation; see Cook's Note). Using tongs, transfer the jars to a towel to cool. If the seal works and fits properly, the metal lid will be slightly concave within 24 hours of processing. Store in a cool dark place for up to 1 year.
