Yes, vinegar is to prevent clouding of jars. When I add the peeled tomatoes to my bowl, there is always more juice in the bottom of the bowl to add to jars if when adding the tomatoes to the jars doesn’t produce enough juice. You can also add a bit of boiling water to cover. Since I posted this, I have made it a practice to simply slice one side of the tomato to ensure that they can better. When I use them after canning, they are often added to recipes that causes me to not need to keep them whole, so that works. Happy Canning!

In addition, the T vinegar goes into the water bath water to prevent clouding of the jars… is that correct?

I have canned jams, butters and pickled green beans for years, but will be working with tomatoes this year. Very excited to try your recipe.

I know, right? I’ve tried to teach her to can since she was a little girl…she has always looked at me and said, “too much work”! ha!

Beautifully canned Romas!!! My favorite! But you and Melanie had me in stitches!!! Reminds me of my little sis and myself! So special!

I am addicted to canning! I can’t seem to ever get enough of it! Hope you love it!

Thank you! Canning is such a love for me that I share with others, too.
