Preserving the BEST of Nature. .

For those who savor the taste of fresh tomatoes, here's an excellent way of capturing 
the essence of the perfect tomato and preserve it's flavor, naturally!

Tomatoes are the ideal candidate for solar canning. The acid content allows
 for preservation with only a pinch of salt.  Wash the tomatoes and dip in boiling water for about a minute, then they are easy to peel. cut into quarters and place into clean, sterile canning jars  with a pinch or two of salt.until they fill the jar. If necessary, add a little water to fill completely. Place the lid on and screw the retaining ring almost closed. Place the filled jas in your solar oven and wait for the jars to begin boiling over and leaking past the top. Remove, tighten the top and wipe the tops clean. . .in a short time you should hear the tops "Pop" (seal). . .Viola!
