Canned Stewed Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Blanch, peel, core and quarter tomatoes.
• Heat olive oil in a large dutch oven.
• Add garlic and oregano, cook till garlic is tender and oregano is fragrant (about 2 minutes).
• Add chopped onion and peppers and cook until tender (about 5 min).
• Add tomatoes and sugar, simmer uncovered about 45 min or until desired consistency (you will need to cook longer if tomatoes are watery).
• Place in hot sterilized mason jars, and place in hot water bath, bring water back to the boil and boil for about 20 minutes longer, remove and let cool, re-bath any jars that don't seal.
• NOTE: Some people feel that the hot water bath method is not safe for this recipe, and that a pressure canning method should be used, however, I have always done these this way with no problem.
• I leave this up to your discretion.

Steps:

• To peel the tomatoes, place them in boiling water for 1 minute and then immediately transfer to cold water. Peel and quarter tomatoes, and place in a large saucepan with the salt. Slowly simmer over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan.
• Simmer until desired tenderness and thickness of sauce, about 30 minutes or longer.
• Taste for additional seasonings.
• Remove bay leaf.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
• Stir the tomatoes, bread, sugar, butter, salt, and pepper in a bowl; pour into the prepared dish.
• Bake until hot and the tomatoes are tender, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Cut up celery, onions (slivers) bell pepper, & minced garlic (store bought is ok if you don't have a lot of fresh) Keep garlic seperate. Don't add with veggies at this time. I use equal parts of all veggies & then add several Tb. of minced garlic to pot of tomatoes when I go to heat them.
• 2. When you cut the veggies just place them in a large bowl & scoop into tomatoes as much as is needed. Set aside for now.
• 3. Slip skins on tomatoes by plunging into boiling water for about 2-3 minutes, then plunging into a sink of cold water. This is refered to as shocking them. If you have stored the tomatoes in fridge until you have enough to can, set them out to get to room temp first. Core tomatoes & cut in half if large. If small, leave whole.
• 4. The white pan I have here held 11 quarts of stewed tomatoes.
• 5. Place 8 cups of your veggie mixture in large granite pot or stainless steel (not aluminum). To your pot of veggies, add about 4 or 5 of your large tomatoes that have been cut up & squeeze to make a juice. Just enough to barely cover veggies. Heat for about 10-15 minutes until it starts to give it up. Just heat through. You still want the veggies tender-crisp as they will cook more in the hot bath.
• 6. Add your prepared tomtoes & about 5 T. minced garlic to this size pot now & continue heating just until hot.
• 7. Fill quart jars adding 1/2 Tablespoon of canning salt per quart. Wipe jar rims so no food particles are on it. (I didn't say it was gonna be a neat job-refer to picture.)Place heated lids on just finger tight.
• 8. Hot bath for 10 minutes. Start timing when water comes to boil.

Steps:

• In a 1-qt. microwave-safe bowl, combine the tomatoes, sugar, butter, seasoned salt and pepper. Cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into the tomato mixture. Cover and cook 1 minute longer or until thickened and bubbly.
