Canning Stewed Tomatoes

*recipe is not usda approved this is my own recipe

I will admit, this is my first time canning my own stewed tomatoes.  It was easy, not as easy as whole tomatoes.  But there was lots of chopping, lots of crying, (from the 6 onions I chopped), lots of peeling, coring, and chopping of tomatoes, but they turned out great.  

Here's the recipe I used:

4 - 5gal buckets chopped, peeled and cored tomatoes

1 c chopped celery 

1/2 c chopped onion

1/4 c. Chopped green pepper

1 tbs sugar

2 tsp salt

Cooked till ingredients were all mixed and it smelled yummy! Ladled into hot jars and processed my qts at 13lbs of pressure for about 15 mins. 

I pressure cooked them.  I will be honest, I used about 1/3 Dixie Gold tomatoes which are less acidic, so I hope that doesn't affect the acidity and storage life of them. 

It's so colorful with the Dixie Gold tomatoes. I love it!!

I canned stew tomatoes, the ground cherry chutney and bottled all my 3.5 gallons honey in one day.  Here was my haul...
