Little tip: peel your tomatoes over a bowl and save ALL the juice that drips off while peeling. Can them in their own juice instead of just water. Makes WAAAAAYYYYYYY better maters

You're a great teacher and did very well with these instructions! However, my wife and I did an exact canning session of tomatoes a couple of years ago and we understand the need to add the lemon juice for the safety of the canned tomatoes however, we were personally shocked that the tomatoes no longer tasted like tomatoes but lemons? We just looked at each other and ask...WHAT are we missing because we considered the canned lemon flavored tomatoes unusable and immediately threw them out and have never canned tomatoes since?
