Canning cherry tomatoes

[Sharoneonta]

Why is this ill advised? I've had a heck of a time finding recipes.

Simply because it's just a pain in the rump?

I had a hard time finding recipes, I was just curious if it was an acid issue or a time issue.

I canned some over the summer..it was a pain in the butt but I love having yellow tomatoes for sauce in the winter.

I think I'm going to try cooking and freezing. Peeling tiny tomatoes is a bit much.

Thanks!

This may not be of any interest (or relevance!) to you but when I have an abundance of cherry tomatoes rather than canning I oven roast them then store in olive oil. Delicious. Just thought I would mention it as I have not had much success in canning them, either.

Skins get leathery, fruits are watery. Ultimately, the end result isn't worth the hassle to most. Now, I reckon you could run it all through a chinoise or a fine food mill, cook it down with seasonings and make a sauce, but again, PITA.

Yes, I would say the high ratio of skin to flesh too.
