Tomatoes can be preserved using just a Boiling Water Bath. However in the last 50 years or so, many varieties of low-acid tomatoes have been created which could be trouble for long term storage.
If you use a Boiling Water Bath, then most modern recipes call for a Hot Pack (boil the tomatoes, and jar them hot); plus add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (or 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid) per quart. Once sealed in Mason jars, boil the jars, completely covered in water, for 45 minutes.
Your other choice for long-term storage is Pressure Canning (not covered here). If you intend to use them within a week, neither of the above is necessary. Simple refrigerator storage is fine.

Some, but not all of the seeds have turned black. Is there any danger in using these tomatoes? ANSWER - If the seeds began to discolor during storage, it is probably not a sign of spoilage as long as the product was processed correctly and a vacuum, indicating a tight seal, has been maintained. It may be a reaction of harmless polyphenol compounds in the seeds with iron or other minerals in the water.http://extension.psu.edu/food-safety/food-preservation/faq/seed-discoloration-canned-tomatoesAccessed January 25, 2013.

Home canned tomato juice can separate due to several factors, primarily the natural settling of solids and liquids over time.

Proper mixing and following safe canning guidelines can help minimize this issue.
