With one box of tomatoes and a little, well okay a lot of time, we managed to get 7 and a half jars of tomatoe sauce or sause as Katie would put it!!! I've got a few more boxes to put up but this is the first time I've actually canned tomatoes! I have always frozen them so this is a first. I forgot to put the lemon juice, I hope that's not a big deal?!?!?!?
As long as your tomatoes were "old" varieties, with plenty of acid, you'll be fine. The purpose of the lemon juice is to bring up the acid because a lot of new varieties of tomatoes are low acid. They look good! ;0)
ReplyDeletethey ended up not being good, some how I didn't get them hot enough. The jars sealed, but molded inside. Threw them all away!!! :( oh well, I sure know better than to be in a hurry for next time!
