Placea single layer of tomato quarters in the bottom of a large saucepan. Mash with a potato masher, and heat over medium-high heat until juicy. Add in the remaining tomatoes in 3-4 batches, mashing after each addition. Once all tomatoes are added, simmer until tomatoes are tender and juicy. Remove from heat.
Procedure Prepare and press as for making tomato juice, see page 3-5. Simmer in large-diameter saucepan until sauce reaches desired consistency. Boil until volume is reduced by about one-third for thin sauce, or by one-half for thick sauce. Add bottled lemon juice or citric acid to jars. SeeStep6 - Add 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice and liquid. After you fill each jar with tomatoes, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice per quart jar, 1 per pint jar. This helps to reduce the odds of spoilage and to retain color and flavor. Then fill to 1/2 inch of the top with either boiling water or hot tomato juice.
