 Categories: Vegetables, Canning
      Yield: 1 Text
 
 
  Quantity: An average of 12 pounds of tomatoes and 4 pounds of okra or
  zucchini is needed per canner load of 7 quarts. An average of 7
  pounds of tomatoes and 2-1/2 pounds of okra or zucchini is needed per
  canner load of 9 pints.
  
  Procedure: Wash tomatoes and okra or zucchini. Dip tomatoes in boiling
  water 30 to 60 seconds or until skins split. Then dip in cold water,
  slip off skins and remove cores, and quarter. Trim stems from okra
  and slice into 1-inch pieces or leave whole. Slice or cube zucchini
  if used. Bring tomatoes to a boil and simmer 10 minutes. Add okra or
  zucchini and boil gently 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of salt for each
  quart to the jars, if desired. Fill jars with mixture, leaving 1-inch
  headspace. Adjust lids and process according to the recommendations
  in Table 1 or Table 2, depending on the method of canning used.
  
  Variation: You may add four or five pearl onions or two onion slices
  to each jar.
