Tinned Tomatoes
Dear Aunt Daisy, : As tomatoes are so cheap and plentiful just now, I must give you a very easy way of preserving them without a bottling outfit. I have used it for years and never had a failure. Take any quantity of ripe tomatoes and cut them up; put into saucepan or preserving pan, and boil in their own juice until soft and pulpy. Then add a little butter, and salt to taste, and boil for 5 minutes longer. Have ready some cleaned and warmed treacle or syrup tins. Pour the tomatoes into these, filling them brimful so that the liquid runs over when the lid is pressed on. Wipe the juice from around the lid, and pour hot paraffin wax all over the top. Allow to stand overnight in the one place; then give the tins another thin coating of wax. Preserved in this way, they will keep as long as 12 months. "Petone-ite." Thank you for the useful hint. It is best to make sure of the seams round the bottom and sides of the tins by covering them well with wax, too.
