Canned skewed Tomatoes refer to peeled, cored and chopped tomatoes which have been processed in a pressure canner. The tomatoes may be prepared as whole tomatoes, cut into sections, or diced. Going through the process of making stewed tomatoes helps to lengthen the shelf life of the tomatoes so they can be used in various recipes at a later date. Part of the charm of stewed tomatoes is that they can be prepared using several different herbs and spices.
This helps to accentuate the natural taste of the tomato while locking in all the nutrients that are released during the cooking process. Ingredients such as green peppers garlic,parsley and onions may be added to the stewed tomatoes during the preparation process. The tender stewed tomatoes are ideal for use in soups, stews, and casseroles.
