Both are excellent tips !!
I have always been reluctant to freeze in glass canning jars
since liquids expand when they freeze, but will give it a go .
Thanks
I know on the wide-mouth pint jars there is a line marked for use if you are freezing - should not put anything in above that line. I looked at my quart jars (also wide-mouth) & don’t see a ‘fill line’ but if you stay below where the “neck” of the jar starts (it’s more obvious on the quart jars than pints - probably why pints only are marked), you’ll have an inch of expansion space and should be fine.
Freezing is my preferred method, because it’s so easy and I’m rather lazy at times. My dear ole Granny told me to just wash them, cut them in quarters, put them in freezer bags and use them as needed for soups stews and chili.
So that’s what I do. I have some that have been in the freezer for a while, that I think I might take out and practice making tomato juice or salsa or something. They are Romas.
I did can a batch of tomatoes this year, but used the pressure canner, because it was easier than water bath and doesn’t use as much water so it isn’t as heavy.
