I have never canned before and I am excited to try it this year! We use canned tomatoes from the store every week so I thought I would start with canning tomatoes.
The canning pot I plan to use holds 7 quart jars. I would like to can more than this. How do I do that? Is it like cookies, were I prepare the dough and bake one sheet at a time keeping the rest of the dough in the bowl in the fridge until it’s time to bake the next sheet? Do I prepare the tomatoes and fill 7 jars and process them, keeping the prepared tomatoes somewhere until it’s time to fill another 7 jars? Or do I fill all the jars and put the lids on and then process them in batches?
