Libbie's Canned Sweet Tomatoes

Submitted by Dienia B.

"My boyfriend's family eats these. I've never had them. I just made a whole bunch and every time you mention them they smile. I guess they eat these like fruit. I serve them cold. I have also cooked with them as they are not overly sweet. When canning, amounts are estimates, sorry."
