This collection of videos from University Extension offices nationwide explains how to preserve tomatoes. Note that many videos only refer to using a boiling water canner (aka water bath canner), but you may also use an atmospheric steam canner to can tomatoes as long as the total processing time is 45 minutes or less.
Research on food preservation is ongoing – recommendations may have changed since the release of some videos. Please refer to the National Center for Home Food Preservation for the most current recommendations.
