Diced Tomatoes

Make your own diced tomatoes at home with this simple and easy way to preserve your harvest for future use.

Ingredients:

  • Fresh tomatoes from the garden (Roma are a good choice because they're more meaty and less juicy)
  • 2 Tbs lemon juice per quart
  • 1 tsp. sea salt per quart

Instructions:

  1. Peel the tomatoes (to do this wash them and put in boiling water for 2 minutes followed by ice water for 1 minute; then chop off the top and the skins come right off).
  2. Dice tomatoes and put in large stock pot
  3. Cook tomatoes for 5 minutes on stove, stirring occasionally
  4. Add lemon juice and sea salt to each quart jar.
  5. Add diced tomatoes to each quart jar. Leave 1/4-1/2 inch space on top.
  6. Sterilize lids, clean tops of jars, etc (like you do for any canning project).
  7. Process for 45 minutes in water bath canner.

Hi, I’m Erica Groneman. I am a mom, volunteer, and a gardener. There’s something satisfying about getting my hands dirty and watching things grow. I believe gardening is universal and crosses all boundaries, bringing us all together. I hope we can share in the joy of growing together. Thanks for stopping by!
