TOMATO JUICE - CANNING

Steps:

• Core and peel tomatoes (Often, the day before, I will wash and core the tomatoes and freeze them first. Then just dunk them in a sink full of hot water and the peel falls right off). UPDATE: This year I didn't even bother to peel them, just core them and continue. The peel will come out in step 4.
• Place the tomatoes in a large stock pot and as you fill it, bring them to a rolling boil, stirring regularly (They will burn if you don't). I usually squish the first few with a potato masher to cover the bottom of the stock pot with liquid in order to get the boiling process kick started.
• Sterilize your jars (I do this in the dishwasher).
• Once you have all your tomatoes in the stock pot and boiling up a storm, ladle them into your food mill and grind out the mixture into pots, scraping the good stuff off the sides of the cone into your juice.
• Throw out the remaining pulp and return the juice to the stock pot.
• Bring back to a rolling boil.
• Add salt. (I usually add 1 tsp to each litre/quart). This is optional of course.
• Pour into jars leaving 1/2 inch air space.
• Place jars into canner and boil for 25 minutes.
• DONE!
