Taz, I don't make homemade stewed tomatoes, but there is a nice and simple recipe in the Ball Blue Book for canning. It gives the recipe, and the canning instructions, but it calls for pressure canning. If you choose to use a water bath canning method, I would add a bit of lemon juice or other citric acid to the filled jars, before canning them. I would process them for at least 45 minutes on a slow boil. Although, pressure canning would be a safer option, I usually water bath can all my tomatoes with added lemon juice.

Not sure if my info is what you're looking for, but hope it helps. Here's the recipe......

Stewed Tomatoes

4 qts. chopped, peeled, cored tomatoes
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Cover. Cook 10 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. Ladle hot vegetables into hot jars, leaving 1 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Adjust caps on jars then process.
