For those of you who garden and can food, what variety of tomato is best for canning? I am looking for a tomato that has a big yield, great flavor, and isn't too watery. Ideally, it would be a paste tomato with great taste, if there is such a thing. I have been growing heirlooms, and love them but, as you know, they don't have the best yield.

I believe Roma is the tomatoe you're looking for. Meaty, prolific, cans well, preferred for sauces.
I second the Roma suggestion. They are small and flavorful and grew well for me last year. I hear them suggested all the time for uses like this.
Can't wait for tomato season! Yum!
I like Roma, and Amish paste. My neighbor grows a paste tomato that is just as good as these, but has much superior flavor. But she saves her seeds and grows her own plants, and all she can remember about these is that they are Polish. I'm thinking of trying Opalkas since they have a reputation for really good flavor.
