I'd like to know if this recipes can be processed using a hot water bath instead of wax.
GRANDMA WOOD'S TOMATO PRESERVES
4 qts. cherry tomatoes, quartered, not peeled
1 (No. 2) can crushed pineapple in heavy syrup, do not drain
3 lemons sliced, seeds removed
2 c. sugar
1 scant tbsp. salt
Cook all of the above until syrupy. Will be somewhat runny. If you want preserves to be firmer, use pectin to set it. Pour into hot scalded jars. If desired, drop a small piece of paraffin wax about 1 1/2 inches square on top of hot preserves. Be sure the wax touches all the way around the jar completely. Seal tight with lid.
