Three Ways to Save the Tomato Harvest


Hello Reader,

Tomato season can turn one basket into three before you know it. This lineup gives the harvest several useful places to go. You will have bright tomatillos, rich juice, and a familiar condiment ready for later.

Canning Tomatillos

Jars of canned tomatillos with pale green skins in brine

Tomatillos can move from the garden into shelf-stable jars. Their bright flavor is worth saving. Taco night will be glad you did.

Can the tomatillos

This steam canner is useful for approved high-acid preserving projects.


Canning tomato juice

Fluted glasses filled with tomato juice.

Garden tomatoes become jars of rich, practical juice. The color stays beautifully summery. Open one later for soups, sauces, or a cold glass.

Preserve the juice

This vegetable strainer helps separate tomato skins and seeds from smooth juice.

Canning Ketchup

Homemade ketchup gives a heavy tomato harvest a useful destination. You control the seasoning and texture. The jars disappear faster than expected.

Make the ketchup

This immersion blender smooths cooked tomatoes without transferring a hot batch.

A row of finished jars is a satisfying way to close the season. Take your time and enjoy the rhythm of canning day.

Enjoy! And have fun cooking!
