At the end of the season of the garden when we are scrambling to get all the produce in and used most of us turn to canning or freezing to preserve the harvest. This method of preserving whole tomatoes for winter in just minutes is a game changer. You will not need a canner or to spend hours in the kitchen over a hot stove canning your tomatoes.
This method preserves the tomatoes with salt and they last for months. When you are ready to make your spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce or what ever you use your canned tomatoes for you will have these just waiting for you. Because they are not cooked you don’t lose that fresh tomato flavor.
You can preserve your tomatoes in canning jars or any food grade container that has a lid. The fastest of all would be a five gallon bucket. You could actually put up a whole five gallon bucket of tomatoes in under a half hour. You can also add garlic, basil or other herbs if you wish. That way when you get ready to make your sauce everything will be there and the tomatoes will already have picked up some of the flavor of the herbs.
