You don't have to have a pressure canner to can tomatoes. Just peel and cut your tomatoes the way you want them . Put in a large pan and bring to a boil. When it gets to a rolling boil pour then in clean hot jars. Add 1/8-1/4 tsp salt to a quart sized jar. Put lid on and tighten good. Place on large pan with water and cook for 20 min. Take out of water and let cool. Listen for the ping of the lids sealing.
