pounds per pint. - Before canning blanch and peel and deseed the fruit.
- In a large pot, add a little olive oil and bring the tomatoes to a boil. Crush
them with a spoon as they cook for 5 minutes. - Before canning add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to each quart jar and 1/2
teaspoon (optional) of salt, or for pints; 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and
