directions

  • In large deep stainless steel saucepan, combine garlic, wine, wine vinegar, water, sugar, basil, oregano and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, cover and boil gently, for 5 minutes, until garlic is heated through. Remove from heat.
  • Pack tomatoes into hot jars to within a generous 1/2 inch of top of jar. Ladle hot vinegar mixture into jar to cover tomatoes, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot liquid. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Screw band down until resistance is met, then increase to fingertip-tight.
  • Place jars in canner, ensuring they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil and process for 20 minutes. Remove canner lid. Wait 5 minutes, then remove jars, cool and store.

  1. This is excellellent. I used a combination of paste tomatoes and beef steak with the seeds removed. I'm not a fan of sugar with tomatoes so I replaced the sugar with Balsamic glaze and the result was amazing. I'm planning to can another batch.
     
  2. Not my personal favourite. I used cherry tomatoes from my garden, and with the addition of sugar found these too sweet. If I used a tarter, more acidic tomato, I'm sure I would have enjoyed this more.
     
  3. just making this, it smells AMAZING! The tomatoes had lots of juice and the jars didnt hold that much of the hot liquid. Is this normal, or should I have drained the tomatoes?
     
  4. Try a bite of this and I'll bet you'll be in heaven...except I am not there, so it can't be heaven.;-)
     
  5. I made three batches of this over the summer and I'm here to say I did not make enough-it's that good! Thanks for Posting-it's a lovely recipe that is VERY easy to make!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My passions: faith, family, food, and anything family history related. Almost nothing I like more than to chase headstones of my dearly departed ancestors. I've been working on a family cookbook for almost 2 years. (Need to figure out how I want to actually print it.) Enjoy learning about how what I grew up eating relates to my ancestors from Croatia and Alsace primarily. Enjoy following and forming new traditions within the walls of my home. Some would say I lead a very boring and mundane life. I would say it's just what I ordered. I have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom - which is what I truly love. Feel it's the best calling anyone could ever have. I've truly been blessed!
