Preserving fresh tomatoes is easier than you think! With this simple method, you can enjoy the taste of ripe, homemade tomato preserves for up to two years—without using vinegar.
Why Preserve Tomatoes?
Homemade tomato preserves:
Save you trips to the supermarket during winter.
Offer authentic flavor for sauces, stews, and seasonings.
Allow you to use your own garden harvest.
Choosing the Right Tomatoes
Use ripe, flavorful varieties—ask your greengrocer if you’re unsure.
A ripe tomato will release the stem easily.
Preparing the puree within two days of picking or buying improves the final taste.
