how do you preserve tomatoes though? I've seen some on YT, but a bit different from what I learned in grade school, so I thought I could maybe learn from someone who's into food preserves?

I use a pressure canner for those. In the past I've heard that some people use water bath, but that's guessing about the acidity of the tomatoes. Safer to pressure can. The Ball Book of Canning has good info.

😲😲 water bath?

Do I have to use a pressure canner? I'm not gonna be selling them, just preserve them, as I love tomatoes, and I eat them like one eats chocolates, and I think the pressure canner you're talking about is a piece of steel that presses the fruit down so it remains submerged in liquid?

For canning yes, but I have frozen them also.

I don't think I'd like frozen tomato, though I'm aware that some people freeze their fruits and vegs. Maybe I can tolerate fruit or veg dehydration, but not freezing them, as I want them crunchy. Dehydrated ones are crunchy though
