Steps to make Homemade Opened Kettle Canned Tomatoes:
  1. Lay out your tomatoes on a table. This gives you a chance to look for any that might be rotten, and any rotten one to spread to other tomatoes
  2. Boil water in a large pot. While the water is boiling lay tomatoes in a plugged sink.
  3. Pour the boiling water in the sink and let sit for 1 minute. This will blister and swell the tomato skins to make peeling easier.
  4. Drain the water carefully, and peel the skin off the tomatoes and remove the stem cores.
  5. After the tomato is cored and peeled, slice the tomato into chunks. You should slice these over a bowl so you keep the juice.
  6. Place the tomatoes in a pot, and set the flame to simmer. Stir the tomatoes until the move freely. All the tomatoes may move all together. This is okay, it means juice is on the bottom so the tomatoes do not burn.

  10. Carefully remove your jar from the boiling water. Make sure all the water is out. Place your funnel in the jar and scoop out a cup of tomatoes. Do not remove the heat from the tomatoes.
  11. Fill the jar up. Remove any air bubbles you see with a small spoon.
  12. Clean off the top of the jar with a clean DAMP cloth.
  13. Carefully remove the lid from the water. Make sure the water is totally drained. Tighten the lid all the way down on the jar. Be sure the lid is not cross threaded and sits all the way down.
