How To Make Tomato Juice At Home | Easy Canning And Preserving Recipe
What happens here
Gather your canning equipment, including a pressure canner (like an antique Presto model, ensuring the rubber seal is in good condition), appropriate canning jars (Kerr or Ball Mason jars in small or large mouth sizes), canning lids and rings, a canning funnel, measuring spoons, and pickling/canning salt. While preparing the tomatoes, pre-heat a small pot of water on the stove and place your canning lids in it to warm the rubber seals, making them more pliable for a better seal.
Goal: Assemble and prepare all necessary tools and supplies for canning.
