Care In Canning Of Low-acid Tomatoes
Food technologist Saya Al Wapner notes factors that lower tomato acidity threaten safety in home canning. Over maturity, soft watery fruit, excessive rainfall and heat raise water soaking. Citric acid is advised per pint to guard against bacteria while reducing quality. Several tomato varieties show variable acidity with Golden, Patio and ReefateaK mentioned as lower in acidity. Domestic observers report visitors to the home of Mr and Mrs Dotson from Dallas and Bryan.
