I think I just made tomato mush

Seattle, WA(Zone 8b)

Ball blue book calls for simmering your tomatoes for 5 minutes before putting them into the jar. So I did and now after hot water processing, it looks like super stewed tomatoes, or 'tomato mush'. I'm wondering why we have to simmer them for 5 minutes when they are boiled for 40 minutes in the canner...................
