I didn't precook them. I found a recipe and packed them direct after peeling and chopping. Add 1 tbsp lemon juice and boil for 45 minutes. Maybe it was while waiting for the water to come to a boil in the canner pot?
I think my hubs is afraid of them. lol I told him I have no idea if it is ok because I normally can't see through the cans at the grocery store! lol
I actually didn't have much of a mess. The tomatoes were very juicy so that ran everywhere even with a lipped cutting board. I only did 7 jars, trying to do the tomatoes as I pick them and not wait until I have bushels!
Next I'm trying strawberry jam. We had so many strawberries I put them in the freezer at the time for lack of anything else to do. I'm assuming they will be ok to use frozen.
Then I would like to do apples but I have to get some nephews and such together to go help me pick a bushel. :)
Wondering if pumpkin works...I usually bake a pie pumpkin and make my pie that way but it makes more than enough. In the past I have froze it, but canning seems so much more convenient to keep around.
