Check this video out - it’s a way to can tomatoes without a water bath. It’s the only way I can tomatoes, usually by the quart. All you need is a stove top & oven, no big canning pot or pressure cooker. I also learned to sterilize my clean jars in the oven from this video & they stay hot & clean until you need them.

I love opening a jar of tomatoes I’ve canned - that fresh tomato smell reminds me of the good days of summer!

I put my jars in the cold oven, the whole bunch of them, and turn the oven to 200F so that the jars don’t crack from thermal shock when I pour in the hot contents.

It’s SO much easier than sterilizing them on a hot water bath which can still cause cracking because of the thermal shock.
