• While tomato mixture is simmering, prepare canner, jars and lids (see note for a tutorial for water-bath canning).
• To clean, hot, pint canning jars, add 1/4 teaspoon citric acid or 1 tablespoon lemon juice (if using quart jars, add 1/2 teaspoon citric acid or 2 tablespoons lemon juice).
• Ladle the tomato-chili mixture into each jar, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Remove bubbles with a spatula, wipe rims, and attach lids.
• Add jars to canner, cover, bring to a boil and process 40 minutes for pints (50 minutes for quarts), adjusting heat as needed to maintain a soft boil. When timer goes off, remove lid, turn off heat and allow jars to sit in canner 5 minutes.
• Remove jars from canner to a towel-lined counter and let cool 12 to 24 hours. Remove rings for storage and check lids to be sure they've sealed (gently pull up with your fingers). Refrigerate any that didn't seal.

Prepare To Can Your Rotel Tomatoes and Chilies WATER BATH CANNING INSTRUCTIONS Put on your apron and get ready! We are about to have some fun! Wash your pint-size jars and put them in a pot of water on your stove. Turn on the water to heat the jars. In a small pan on the back of the stove put some water and place your canning lids. You do not need to put the rings in. Put on med / low to just heat but don't boil them. Fill your canning pot up with water so it will be 1 inch of water above your filled jars. Turn on the heat and get it going You need it boiling when the Rotel tomatoes and chilies is done heating. Using the canning jar tongs remove a hot jar from the pot. Place the jar on your folded washcloth on a plate Take your clean canning jar funnel and place it inside the mouth of the jar and ladle your hot sauce into your hot jar. Put lemon juice in the top of each jar. Wipe the rim of your jar with a clean paper towel or washcloth Place a flat lid on top and put a ring on top. Just tighten it just a bit but not too tight because you want the air to escape while canning. Take the tongs and grab the jar and place it in the boiling water making sure that the jar protector (a metal piece that came with your canner) is on the bottom. This will be solid metal or a rack and keeps the jars from sitting directly on the bottom of the pan and will help to keep them from cracking). Continue the same with the next jar and place it in your canning pot. When all of your jars are in the pot set your timer for 40 minutes for your pint-size jars. Get your towels ( I use 2-3 folded in half) and set them on your counter to protect it from the heat. When your timer goes off grab the tongs and being careful of the steam, remove your jars to the towel to cool. Leave them on the towel for 24 hours before labeling them and storing them.
