Tomatoes

Scald the tomatoes and remove the skins. Put them in a porcelain-lined kettle, bring slowly to a boil, simmer thirty minutes. Put them boiling hot into the jars, fasten the lids and stand in a cool place. When cold again screw the lids and keep them in a dark, dry closet. Tomatoes are easiest of all vegetables to keep.
