IF you can get a good enough deal on the Veggies, buy them. Then all you will need is the canning supplies and equipment.

For Tomatoes we use a 16 quart pot to boil them in to get them ready for straining.

We use an 8 quart to catch the juice while straining the tomatoes.

We then bring the juice to a boil then turn off the heat. Take a one quart (or one pint) jar, put 1-2 teaspoons of salt in it then fill up to the bottom part where the threads start (about a half inch from the top of the jar).

Put on the lid and screw down the ring snugly. Then we put the jar in a pan (about 6 inches of water) that is just barely boiling and let them set for 20 minutes.

Remove from the water and let cool until you hear the lid "Pop" and the lid has been sucked down a bit. Then we just leave them alone for 12 hours to make sure they have had plenty of time to cool.
