Picked tomatoes...maybe 50. Some not full ripe but with all the rain they'll split if left. So couple days and I can can.

I only rinsed the loose dirt out. What else I need to do? Bear with me, I am old alzheimic,lol

You can use those the same as you would use pearl onions.

I am going to get a fresh load of seaweed to mulch on my garden to prepare it for Tomatoes, I usually put it about a foot thick and give it a while to start to rot down then plant, biggest and healthiest plants I have ever grown are with seaweed mulch.

interesting. i have never canned anything with flour or butter in it before so I would be hesitant. I would just do a vegetable soup and then add the butter and/or milk when preparing to eat.

Butter doesn't cause issues normally in small amounts, but I know flour will. That much flour will inhibit heat transfer.

Butter is often added to jams and jellies. The lemon curd I like uses a lot but cans fine. It just doesn't have a long shelf life being an egg product. So 4-6 months in a jar. Good for spring glut of eggs.

Im more concerned that everything in this recipe screams pressure canner and they are using a waterbath canner. Looks like a botulism risk.

Eta. Looked at it again. That is a low acid food. And breaks the thickener rule big time.

I can the raw juice. If I want tomato soup, I use a jar of juice and butter, sucralose, flour to thicken and salt and pepper. I do not add any onions, celery or any other kind of veggies. I do not add cream or milk either.

If you can the juice as is, you can add whatever you want after you open the jar.

High sugar, high salt, or high acid... all help to preserve food.

Seaweed is excellent. But if it is high in salt it is best to rinse it off first.
