    Ingredients

  • Tomatoes
  • Quart-size glass jar
  • 3 tablespoons store-bought lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon salt per (optional)

Directions

  • Place tomatoes in boiling water and let them sit for a few minutes until the skin splits. Cool in an ice bath.
  • When they have cooled, core the tomatoes and slip the skin off. Fill the sterilized jar with the tomatoes, removing any air pockets. Be sure to leave 1/2 inch of space at the top of the jar (this is called the head space). Add the lemon juice and salt.
  • Wipe the rim of the jar and heat the lid for a few seconds before sealing it to a medium tightness. Boil the filled jar for 45 minutes.
