1. I forget if I skinned the tomatoes or just quartered them and placed in my handcrank food mill.
2. Collect juice
3. Heat juice to a simmer for 10 min
5. sanitize jars & lids
6. pack jars tightly on the counter
7. layer towels over the top
8. Check for seal the following morning

To be polite but truthful not good.
The one thing that really should be done is water bath even though people do it and have got away with it for years.
May I ask, why not water bath?
