Bottling Tomatoes
Dear Aunt Daisy, Listening to your session this morning, I was amazed to hear of the difficulties some of your listeners. are having with bottling tomatoes. I have been bottling fruit for over 40 years, and have always found tomatoes to be one of the easiest to do and have never had a failure. I have kept one bottle for about 12 ot 14 years just to test its keeping qualities. My jars are pre-war, so I don’t know about the new make. This is my recipe: To one quart of water allow 1 small teacup of sugar, and 1% tedspoon salt. Let this boil about 5 minutes. Then drop in the tomatoes (small ones are best) and allow to come to the boil again. Put the tomatoes into hot jars and fill to overflowing with the boiling syrup, and screw down at once while hot.
