WELCOME!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

This is our method of jarring Summer garden tomatoes. It is a time honored process that has been passed down through many generations in our family and we wanted to share it you. Jarred tomatoes can be used as a starter for homemade tomato sauce. Jarring the tomatoes with basil locks in the fresh flavors of the season and allows you to enjoy them all year long. There is something special about opening a jar of tomatoes in the middle of winter and smelling the wonderful aromas that transport your mind back to long, sunshine-filled days spent outside.<\/span><\/p>\n

For this jarring process we use two different kinds of tomatoes (the heirloom tomatoes that we grow in our garden and fresh Jersey tomatoes). Traveling across the bridge to New Jersey to pick tomatoes is another long-standing tradition among Italians in this part of Pennsylvania. The slight color difference in the jars is because our heirloom tomatoes had more orange and yellow tones while the Jersey tomatoes were bright red. Both taste amazing in their own right and you can use whatever kind you prefer. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first step in the process is to sanitize the mason jars. We modernized this step by running the jars through the dishwasher but you can also try the old school way by boiling the jars in a large pot and then letting them cool.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6a016304717e14970d017c316fbb2d970b\"
\nBoil the tomatoes to remove skins for about 45 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6a016304717e14970d01761766d160970c\"<\/p>\n

Dunk in boiling water quickly and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6a016304717e14970d017c316fcc76970b\"<\/p>\n

Slide off the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6a016304717e14970d0177444d5263970d\"<\/p>\n

At this point you can either chop the tomatoes to make a chunkier sauce or\u00a0puree in a food processor depending on your preference.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6a016304717e14970d017c316ffbc3970b\"<\/p>\n

Fill the jars with tomatoes and add fresh basil leaves (unchopped) in intervals<\/span>\u00a0throughout <\/span>the filling process.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6a016304717e14970d017c3170093b970b\"<\/p>\n

Top the jars with lids and secure tightly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6a016304717e14970d017617671c94970c\"<\/p>\n

In large pot, place the jars right side up and spaced far enough apart so that they do not touch each other. Weave dish towels in between the jars to further prevent them from clanging against one another while boiling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6a016304717e14970d017c31701df5970b\"<\/p>\n

Fill the stock pot with cold water until it reaches 2 inches above the jars.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6a016304717e14970d017c31702210970b\"<\/p>\n

Cover with a dish towel. Boil for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6a016304717e14970d017617673801970c\"<\/p>\n

Wait until the jars cool completely inside the pot before removing the towels and jars. Jarred tomatoes should be stored at room temperature until opened, at which point they need to be refrigerated. Jarred tomatoes will be good for 12-18 months. Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
