Can I wait to process my tomato jars until tomorrow?
I have 9 pint-and-a-half jars filled with blanched tomatoes, lemon juice and hot water, with sterilized lids and rings. Can I put them in the fridge overnight until I can find a pot deep enough to process the jars in boiling water?

Is this a recipe that's approved as safe for canning? Tomatoes are borderline in terms of safety for water-bath canning, so you need to be using an approved recipe to know it's safe. There's good advice for you here: http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can3_tomato.html Believe me, with home canning, much better safe than sorry.
