Oh, oh … another oops with my canned tomatoes disaster . Not only did I use only 1 teaspoon per pint , it was squeezed lemon juice too. . Dumped them yesterday …. was that ever painful experience . Thank you … for that info too .
Hope your dad recovered without any long term after effects . I should have done my own research rather than take directions from someone who didn’t worry about tomato canning safety .
I have done another very dumb thing with making tomato salsa . I used a recipe from a neighbor …which was not tested for acidic safety levels by anyone . WhenI see all the low acid other things that went in it & the amount of vinegar , am thinking it’s PH is too high for safe water bath canning...
Thank you so much for your reply . I’m definitely Sadder but wiser …..& yes I will follow your advice . Can’t imagine being worried every time we ate some .
Thank you so much for your reply . i certainly would be ‘hugely‘ more sad if my people got extremely ill with botulism poisoning from eating my canned tomatoes . So I know what I have to do . 😥
I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who has made this mistake .
I realize that I was supposed to put 1Tablespoon of Lemon juice per each pint of my canned tomatoes . But I realize now I only put 1 teaspoon of it in . 😟
Would they be safe for our family to eat ? I hot water bath canned them for 30 minutes about 3 days ago . ( so mad at myself ).
Thank...
