As for being watery, that depends on the variety of tomato used. I prefer Rutgers, and find the juice amply thick for my liking. What is your preferred variety?
lol... Been canning and preserving for more than 30 years but thanks for the "tip" just the same.

Not a fan of Rutgers. A determinate plant that only improved are disease resistant. Because of the wilt in the soil, they don't do well here. I guess If I had to pick, I'd say the Early Girl and Better Boy are my preferred varieties.
