Mine never stick around this long, but I wouldn't go longer than a year shelf life with home-canned tomatoes. Unless they are heirlooms, tomato varieties these days aren't as acidic (and therefore don't hold as long) as they used to be in the 50s.

Thanks for the comment! We started a planter of tomatoes, and had so many we gave most of it to friends and family. Next season, we will definitely can the extras.
