Preserving Tomatoes
Dear Aunt Daisy, This morning, while listening to you, I heard you tell us various ways of preserving tomatoes. I thought all except the first way sounded rather complicated, so I am writing to tell you how we have been doing tomatoes for years: Wipe the tomatoes, and put them through the mincer-the tomatoes may be peeled first, but I don’t bother. Then put them into either beer or soft-drink bottles, or any other bottle that will take a cap; and fill till about 2 inches from the top, then bang the caps‘ on the bottles, put them in the copper, cover with cold water, bring to the boil, and boil for 20 minutes. Then leave till next day or until cold. I was given this method by a friend who has done tomatoes this way for over 10 years. She has never had, a failure, nor have I. It is such an easy way, too, and if when you open them yoy add milk to the juice, it makes the most delicious soup I have tasted. Hoping *this may be useful. "V.C.", Auckland.
