When canning in a water bath, the jars should be vertical and the water should be at least an inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a boil and then start counting the time for processing. This is all assuming that what you are canning can be SAFELY processed in a a water bath...
I have been canning tomatoes for the last week.
I have tried heating the fruit before I put in the jars.
I still end up with juice/water on the bottom and fruit at the top of the jars.
What am I doing wrong??
Thanks for your help!!

Hi!
I am a Master Gardener in California. Here are the instructions that I included with Bearded Iris' that we sold at a MG plant sale. I have a Royal Purple Iris that is outstanding. If you would like some, maybe we could do a plant/seed swap!!
Requirements:
Needs good drainage. Adapts to...
First choice: Fried Green Tomatoes!!
Second Choice: I put the green tomatoes in a single layer in box lids and put them in the garage. They slowly ripen and I have great tomatoes for Thanksgiving and some years - even Christmas!!
Good Luck!

I just dried a large batch of Roma Tomatoes in my dehydrator.
In the past, I have placed them in small jars, covered them with olive oil and kept them in the refrigerator (up to a year).
Is this the best way? What are some other options??
Does anyone use vacuum packers? How does this work...
