They're better than anything you can buy including meme San Marzano because you control how ripe they are when you can them. My plants got fucked this year so I only got 30 quarts canned, usually can @ 60.

>San Marzano
When I run out of my homegrown canned tomatoes (hasn't happened in 5 years since I can 100 qts every year) I'd buy San Marzano, but my home canned are far better.

Home canned tomatoes picked from your garden at the peak of freshness btfo of any canned tomato you can buy including meme italian imported. If what is "leftover" was good to begin with, why does it suddenly become bad when eaten again? In fact, most stews, chillis, curries, braises and soups improve over time. I would argue you're living miserable being dependent on whatever big daddy megacorporation slops into your pig trough.

>Tennessee there's no good tomatoes here
Bullshit, I'm in north MS near memphrica and grow shitloads of tomatoes in the summer and can them at the peak of freshness. Stop being a lazyass and grow your own or buy from local farmers and preserve them. Are you a millennial or just retarded?

>grow a shitload of veg and canning excess provides an emergency supply and helps maintain independence from the megacorporate succubi
>make stocks, stews, chili, soups and can the excess saves money and is better than megacorporate pig slop
>canning is just hipster bs to impress other hipsters
Idk where you live, but I haven't even seen a hipster in a good long while, let alone one that canned his own shit.

Mah niglerino!

We can a lot of tomatoes, usually @ 50 quarts. Other vegetables like corn, beans, and green peas I prefer to blanch and freeze so they don't get mushy during canning. I used to can vinegar brined cucumber pickles but this year I've been ferment pickling so I don't can them. I'm doing them in gallon jars and after they're done I just store in a second refrigerator.

I usually can @ 50-60 quarts of Roma tomatoes from garden produce. They can be canned in a water bath but I have a big Presto pressure cooker so I just do 25 minutes under pressure. I freeze the other vegetables since I have the freezer space. I can stocks for 25 minutes under pressure. I found a recipe for smoking and canning salmon from the University of Alaska that I've really been happy with. I'll post a couple pics. My advice is always follow USDA or accredited university guidelines, not just Grandma Sadie's canning blog.

Nice. No chemicals and no added sodium. I can see multinational corporate executives squirming in their seats right now.

>w-w-what do we do? People, gasp, are processing their own food for storage!

This. Better yet, grow your own if you have space and can immediately after picking. My homegrown canned Romas btfo any imported or domesticated canned for a fraction of the price.
