• Chop, blend and cook tomatoes.
• Wash jars in hot water with soap and rinse well.
• Put jar in pre-steam pot and steam 10 minutes.
• Remove steamed jars, one at a time, keep others steaming.
• Fill with tomato puree and add two tablespoons lemon juice.
• Add teaspoon of salt and top off to an inch from top.
• Wipe clean rim of jar. Place lid on jar.
• Hand tighten band.
• Place in deep pot.
• Cover over jars with 2 inches water and boil 45 minutes.
• Remove jars, let cool till lid pops in.
• Remove screw bands and gently try to lift off lids.
• If lid stays firm canning is done.
• Let jars cool 24 hours and shelf.
