Answers:
I hot pack mine. After you cook your stewed tomatoes, add them to a Mason jar that has been sterlized. In fact, I keep the jars in the boiling water until I'm ready to use them. Then fill to 1/2 inch of the top, run a blunt plastic stick down the sides to remove any air bubbles, and then seal w/ your lid. Then place in a large kettle, filled w/ water up to the top ring. Boil for 20 minutes, remove and let cool.
