Sun Gold tomatoes, known for their vibrant orange hue and sweet, tropical flavor, are a favorite among home gardeners and chefs alike.

Preserving their unique taste through canning is a simple and rewarding way to enjoy summer’s bounty year-round.

For a basic canning recipe, start by washing and halving the tomatoes. Simmer them with a touch of salt, lemon juice, and your choice of herbs — basil or thyme work wonderfully.

Once the mixture is hot, ladle it into sterilized jars, leaving a half-inch of headspace, and process them in a boiling water bath for 35-40 minutes.

The result is a rich, sweet-tart tomato preserve perfect for sauces, soups, or bruschetta toppings.

Canning Sun Golds captures their sunshine flavor in a jar—ideal for brightening up winter dishes or gifting to friends and family.

Always follow safe canning practices to ensure long-lasting, delicious results.
