Hubby and I always can cherry or Roma tomatoes. Wash all tomatoes to make sure they are dirt free. Boil a med/large pot of water. Fill one part of sink with cold water. Drop tomatoes into boiling water for approx 15 seconds, take out and put in sink of cold water. Get a big bowl to put all of tomatoes in after you peel the skin from them after taking from cold water. The skins should comes off easily, sometimes by even pinching them at the butt. Fill bowl up with peeled maters, then stuff in canning jars. Once each jar is full, add 1/4 tsp. of salt and can as normal. Hubby and I have a sytem down on doing this and it flows so easy. Have fun.

I've made juice with them before, the only drawback it that with the seeds being so small they end up in your juice. (09/04/2008)
I also have made juice with that tomato grinder. I think cherry tomatoes are juicier. I didn't have any seeds in mine. (09/04/2008)

Cherry Tomatoes make wonderful, delicious tomato sauce. - very sweet. I used a food mill to remove the skins and most of the seeds. Then canned in the usual manner. You'll love them! (09/04/2008)

RE: Canning Cherry Tomatoes
How do I canned them whole or cut them in half, do I let the skins on or try to de-skin them?
