Juicy reds for good eating
Now is the time to buy
lots of .fresh Ontario
tomatoes 'while they're
available in all. their
glory, for preserving or
just plain good eating,
say the marketing
specialists at the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture
and Food. Tomatoes are
at their peak during the
latter part of August and
It's tomato time

TOMATOES
THEY'RE IN
THE JAR
Red, ripe tomatoes!
What a beautiful sight!
That is, as long as you
can safely preserve the
quantity you have grown
and have them ready to
enjoy next winter.
Tomatoes may be
frozen, canned or used in
relishes, sautes, catsup
and juice. 41/us look at
the frozen and canned
products here. First, the
frozen. Select fully
ripened fruit that is free
from blemishes. Scald in
hot water to loosen the
skins. Cool immediately
in cold water, Peel and
core. They may then be
frozen as is, addipg. one
teaspoon salt per quart,
or stewed 2-3 minutes.
Stewing will prevent a
tough, stringy product
when unthawed. Pack in
plastic containers or
glass jars leaving 11/2"
headspace to allow for
expansion when frozen.
Use in cooked dishes only
as the fresh appearance
is not maintained in
freezing.
For canning tomatoes,
begin by washing and
then scalding in hot water
to loosen skins. Dip in
cold water, remove skin
and core. Half fill the hot
canning jars with
tomatoes. Dissolve 1/4 tsp.
citric- acid (available in
drug stores) and 1/2 tsp.
pickling salt per pint jar
in 1 tablespoon boiling
water. Add to jar. Fill the
rest of the jar with
tomatoes. Add hot
tomato juice or water'.
Slip a knife down between
jar and: tomatoes to
release air bubbles.
Finish adding juice but
leaving 1/2" headspace at
the top of the jar. Cover
jar quickly with a hot lid
and screw down jar ring
according to type of jar
used. Place in boiling
water bath processor and
process in rolling boil, 55
minutes for pints*, 60
minutes fo(r quarts.
Remove jars carefully
when time is up and place
on a thick towel to cool.
Let jars cool at least 12
hours. Test for seal ac-
cording fi) manufac-
turer's suggestions. Store
in a cool, 'dry, dark
location for best results.
Always remember to
destroy without tasting
any home canned product
which looks or smells
abnormal.
But why citric acid and
boiling water processing
you ask? Citric acid is
essential in raising the
acidity of tomatoes into
the range mbe processed
in a water bath processor
rather than a pressure
canner. Since tomato
varieties and ripeness
change the acidity, it is
recommended that it be
added to all home canned
totnatoes. The boiling
water bath processing
time -is to ensure that all
of the product has been
thoroughly heated, ex-
cess air is driven out and
'a good - vacuum seal is
created, ensuring a safely
canned product. Don't
take chances. Can and
freeze your products
caefully. Your family's
health depends on it.

canning, freezing or
making of jams, jellies or
pickles contact the Home

the first part of Sep-
tember. Right now
thousands of acres are
being harvested.
Ontario tomatoes are
available by the pound
but many retail stores
also sell them in four -
quart baskets for you
convenience
economy.
To he. sure of the
number of tomatoes
you'll need for preser-
ving, check the recipes
you plan to use. Jot down
the amount needed for
each recipe, times the
number of batches you
plan to do. Remember
that 1 pound is 3 to 4
tomatoes and in a 4 -quart
basket there are about 6
pounds, or 18 to 24
medium tomatoes.
Look for firm, plump
tomatoes with a uniform
red color. If the tomatoes
aren't ripe, leave them at
room temperature away
from 'direct sunlight.
n
When they are ripe, plan
to use tomatoes within 1
week. If you're preser-
ving, don't store
tomatoes but use them as
soon as possible.
Tomatoes are great fox
lots of good summer
eating. A cool, fresh,
\ flavorful tomato goes
\well in salads, in sand-
wiches, or served in
slices or wedges with
other vegetables.
Tomatoes make a tasty
hot vegetable too. Try
topping them with but-
- Wed bread crumbs and
cooked, crumbled bacon,
then broil for 10 to 15
minutes. For a very
appetizing luncheon idea,
serve stuffed tomatoes.
Cut thern, in half 'and
scoop out the pulp, then
mix the pulp with a
filling. This can be a
mixture of chicken, pork,
ham or egg salad.
They're delicious, light
and cool on a hot summer
day.
