Canning tomatoes

What is the best tomatoe to use for canning? Not happy with what I've been using. They just fall apart during the canning process. Would appreciate any feed back. Thanks

It depends on what you want! Paste, sauce, whole tomatoes, tell me, and I will tell you, I been cannin' maters for quite a few years!

Rutgers were bred for canning. This is my favorite choice.

yep, rutgers is a good canning tomato, I do mostly sauce and paste, Amish paste is my favorite for that, hardly anything but flesh

I mostly can tomatoes and stewed tomatoes. Not heard of the Rutgers. What is your Amish paste?

Amish paste are bigger than most paste tomatoes, almost the size of your fist, few seeds, little juice, all meat!
