📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the tomatoes: Wash tomatoes thoroughly. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Score a shallow “X” on the bottom of each tomato and blanch them in the boiling water for 30–⏱️ 60 seconds, just until the skins split. Transfer immediately to ice water. Slip off skins and remove cores. Leave tomatoes whole or cut into halves (do not chop or crush—this method is only tested for whole or halved tomatoes).

Prepare jars: Wash jars, lids, and bands. Keep jars hot until ready to use. To each pint jar, add 1 tablespoon bottled lemon juice (or ¼ teaspoon citric acid). To each quart jar, add 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice (or ½ teaspoon citric acid). If desired, add ½ teaspoon salt per pint or 1 teaspoon per quart for flavor.
