Lord knows I've done thousands of pounds of tomatoes, but I wouldn't water bath them myself, as suggested in that link.

 

The tomatoes today do not have the acidity level that they usta have.

 

Just a thought to consider.

I have no fear of water-bath canning tomatoes, *BUT* I always add the recommended amount of lemon juice!

 

1 tablespoon per pint, 2 tablespoons per quart...

 

If I would choose not to add the lemon juice (to raise the acidity), I would pressure can them.

 

Tomatoes are one of the easiest things to can, and are very versatile to use.

 

If all you have is a water bath canner, go ahead and can tomatoes.

 

Just be sure to raise the acidity with lemon juice, because it's too hard to tell how much acid is in them naturally.
