For raw pack tomatoes, the
OSU recommendation is to
acidify as directed for the hot
pack method and process
pints for 35 minutes and
quarts for 45 minutes.
However, some people may
wish to follow the new
U S D A. recommendations,
she said. These call for pro
cessing hot packed pint jars
for 35 minutes and processing
quart jars in a boiling water
bath for 45 minutes. This is a
change from the previously
recommended 10 minutes.
U S D A. has withdrawn its
recommendation to can un
acidifed raw pack tomatoes
pending additional research.
"When you're ready to pre
pare your canned foods for the
dinner table and you want to
be as safe as safe can be. we
still recommend that you dis
card any jar of food which
shows signs of spoilage and
boil low acid foods, such as
green beans, for 10 to 20
minutes before serving,"
Weiner added.
