Gleaning today - Can I can beefsteak tomatoes?

[ChickenPotPie]

I'm taking the kids out to glean a field for the food bank. Today it's beefsteak tomatoes. We can take as much as we want, too. I'm so new to canning, I'm not sure if I can can these. Can I? What can I do with them? Or rather what would you do with beefsteak tomatoes?

You can can up any tomato and it sounds like you hit the jackpot! I like to eat beefsteaks on a sandwich but that doesn't help in your situation.

Juice them, sauce them, puree them, salsa, paste, etc. There are other tomatoes more suited for some of these endeavors but they all taste like tomatoes, so go for it!

Beefsteaks are all one of my BF's mom canned. They fill up jars real quick.

I can all my tomatoes, doesn't matter what it is. I find the easiest is to just chop them up, skin and all and simmer them for a few minutes, until heated through; then I hot water process them.
You can make anything tomato related out of them. They just are bigger and have more juice.
Go ahead and take advantage of this great opportunity.
