I can my tomatoes with the water. They only last 2 years that way, but I grow more every summer, so that's more than enough time for me.

That's a good way to do it! This isn't really canning, just drying and storing. We used to can about 600 quarts of tomatoes using open kettle when I was a kid. They had six kids to feed, and we got free green tomatoes. We watched them as they ripened, and canned them when we got enough built up.
My brother bought the old homestead, and found some tomatoes canned in the basement. He opended and ate them, and said they were tasty; after 25 plus years!

That's a nice legacy left by the parents!
I should have said "jarring" I guess. I wouldn't know how to store food in metal cans, I've always used glass jars.
Sorry, here canning is used to describe preserving in glass. I have a friend east of here who uses metal cans to preserve meat to ship to the indigent overseas. This is done by his church, and they ship thousands of pounds each year. Apparently glass is too fragile to ship overseas.
But my method is in glass, because that's what I have the gear for.
