Bottling Tomatoes
Dear Aunt -Daisy, Listening to your session one 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 one of the easiest to do and have never had a failure. I have kept one bottle 12-14 years just to test its keeping qualities. My jars are prewar, so I don’t know about the’ new make. This is my recipe: To one quart water allow 1 small teacup sugar and 4 teaspoon salt. Let this boil about 5 minutes. Then drop in tomatoes ‘(small ones are best) and allow to come to boil again, Put tomatoes into hot jars and | fill to overflowing with boiling syrup and screw down at once while hot.
