DESCRIPTION:
For home canning tomatoes.
The USDA recommends the addition of citric acid to each jar of canned tomatoes to reduce potential botulism risk. For more information click here.
Although tomatoes are generally thought of as high-acid fruits, a few varieties have higher known pH levels making them more susceptible to the spores of Clostridium botulinum. The addition of Mrs. Wages® Citric Acid raises the acidity and lowers the pH.
To ensure safe acidity, add 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid to every quart of tomatoes (for pints, uses 1/4 teaspoon citric acid). Contents of this package will process approximately 50 quarts of tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS: CITRIC ACID, LESS THAN 2% SILICONE DIOXIDE (ANTICAKING).
INSTRUCTIONS:
It is necessary to ensure safe acidity for both the
boiling water and pressure
canning process when preserving whole, crushed or juiced tomatoes.
ADD ¼ tsp Mrs. Wages® Citric Acid per pint or ½ tsp Mrs. Wages® Citric Acid per quart.
This container of Mrs. Wages® Citric Acid will
provide acidification to 50 quarts of
tomatoes.
Store in a cool, dry place.
