Can fresh diced tomatoes be substituted for canned ones?

Yes. To substitute fresh diced tomatoes for a 14.5-ounce can of undrained
diced tomatoes, use approximately 1 1/4 cups of diced fresh tomatoes and 1
cup
of liquid. If your recipe calls for a 28-ounce can of undrained diced
tomatoes, use about 2 1/2 cups of diced fresh tomatoes and 1 cup of liquid.
Use any
liquid that seems appropriate for your recipe, such as water, broth or
tomato juice.
