Day 88: #grownostr initiative Today was canning day. Our counters were full of tomatoes, so we went with a preservation method that seemed pretty straight forward for the first time. We did a couple of jars of salsa and a few each of whole, diced and crushed. We also grouped like tomatoes in a few and mixed up a few for aesthetic. I am looking forward to some of the other suggestions everyone gave throughout the summer. image #gardening #homesteading #canning #tomatoes

Hey just a canning note about tomatoes. You’ll want to ensure that the pH is below 4. Some tomatoes are not acidic enough to provide that and botulism can be a concern. In those cases, citrus juice, citric acid, or strong vinegar can bring the pH down to acceptable levels.

Thanks Jac. I did add citric acid. I researched the best acid to use between citric acid, vinegar and lemon juice. It seemed that citric acid had the least effect on flavor.

Thanks. I had a few jars not seal. I'm debating on trying another bath or just putting them in the fridge and using them for a meal this week
