DoT’s Thot: Not being a canning guru, I did not give any instructions in any of my posts about canning tomatoes or tomato recipes.  Thinking about it, if you are a tomato enthusiast and new to canning, you might want to get a reference.  I paid $20 or so for a book, then decided to look for something you might be able to use, without having to pay as much as I did (think I should have shopped around).

I don’t usually do this, but think that this one is pretty reasonable in price (under $5), so that you might want to check it out.  It apparently compiles a lot of government pamphlets for you, so you don’t have to look around and we know that the government food specialists do a lot of testing.  Another alternative is if the canner you buy includes a number of free recipes, you might find that that suffices.  In the best of all worlds, you might know someone who can help you get started. Aloha, DoT
