Old-fashioned 'overflow' method works for tomatoes.Boil up on top of the stove and fill sterilised jars to overflowing, cap with seals and screwtops and wait for the seal to pop down.
Edited to add...unless you're trying to keep them looking like pretty red marbles, of course.Boiling on top will mush them.

I free-flow mine in the freezer. Just freeze on a tray and then tip into a bag. Worked for me and it was good to have them through the winter. As a bonus I do not ever want to clean up a pantry floor laden with my preserves ever again having done it after both earthquakes! I think I'd rather run the risk of losing power as at least we would have food and be able to give some away. Easier if you're pushed for time too. Cheers.

Hi try this pack your jars with raw tomatoes pour over your prepared water with salt /citric acid ect then sit the jars a few at a time in a large preserving pan with water three quarters up the side of the jars place the lids on the jars and place the screw bands on loosly then heat the water to a slow boil this will take a while but the seals will suck down when the tomatos are cooked lift them out carefully and tighten the screw bands and leave to cool the tomatoes should look cooked ( a slightly darker red) but this way keeps them whole in the jars
