Fill two more small pots with boiling water. In one pot, boil the lids to the jars for about 10 minutes, to soften their sealant. Step three – mash the tomatoes.After about two hours, use a potato masher to mash the tomatoes (you can go for larger chunks or smaller, it doesn’t matter). This is also the time to season your crushed tomatoes with salt. You can either do it now or add salt to each jar before canning if you choose to add salt.

Learning how to can tomatoes has been essential for my home cooking skills because I use them all winter long—they're great for making sauces, soups and spreads. At the end of the processing time, turn off the heat under the canner and allow the jars to sit in the water for 10 minutes. When all the tomatoes are prepped and ready to go, start filling your jars. The method I use for canning tomatoes is the “raw packed in their own juice” method.

Some of the famous paste tomato varieties are Amish Paste and Roma.
