When you do home canning of tomatoes how much canning salt do you add to each quart? And how much Citric Acid do you add to each quart. Also, if you add Citric Acid do you omit the lemon juice or do you still have to add it?


Answers:

Add lemon juice or citric acid to canning jars along with 1/2 teaspoon salt to each quart jar, if desired. Pack hot jars with prepared tomatoes and press down until spaces between them fills with juice. Leave ?-inch head space. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim and screw threads and adjust lids and screw bands.
