Next, add the jars to a large pot of boiling water with a rack on the bottom and sterilize them for ⏱️ 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.
8
Turn the boiling water down to a simmer and add the lids and rings and sterilize those for ⏱️ 10 minutes. Let drain on a rack as well.
9
With about ⏱️ 10 minutes left in the tomato stewing process, add the jars to the simmering water pot to heat up until ready to fill. This will ensure the jars do not crack.
10
Transfer the tomatoes evenly to each sterilized jar.

11
Wipe the tops of the jars with a towel.
12
Add the lid and ring and twist with your fingertips just until tight. Do not over twist, or you will risk denting the seal.
13
Place the tomato jars back in the water on the rack and bring to a boil and let boil for ⏱️ 35 minutes. You should hear them “pop,” which will let you know they are sealed. See the chef's notes below.
14
Remove from the hot boiling water and cool to room temperature before storing them in a cool dark place for up to 1 year.
