Concord. California Food For Later C a ro l A. A s h le y E x te n s io n A g e n t The Oregon State University Extension Service again recom mends the addition of lemon juice or vinegar to tomatoes being canned at home It should be added at the time salt is added to the tomatoes The pre ferred amount is 2 teaspoons of lemon juice or vinegar per quart of tomatoes Q Why is it necessary to add vinegar of lemon juice to to m atoes’’ A. Tomatoes fall within the category of food safe to process in a boiling water canner but they are the lowest acid of these fruits Tomatoes are considered to be an acid food but in dividually tomatoes vary con siderably in pH Some actually fall in the pH range usually labeled low acid The growing conditions, the variety and de gree of ripeness all influence the acidity Use of over ripe tomatoes, which tend to be lower in acid, is a common practice in home can ning Addition of vinegar or lemon juice decreases the likelihood of flat sour spoilage It also el iminates the unlikely, though ible incidence of botulism first case of botulism due to eating home canned tomatoes was recently reported in Ala bama Q Do you have a list of tomato vanties for which it isn't nec essary to add lemon juice or vinegar’’ A No Tomatoes from the sam e patch and even tomatoes on the sam e vine vary in their acidity depending on growing conditions and ripeness Therefore, the ad dition of lemon juice or vinegar is recommended for all tomato varieties. Q My canned tomatoes with lemon juice added seem to taste so sour What can I do? A First of all. be sure to m eas ure the two teaspoons of lemon juice or vinegar Estimation using the dump method often results in too much being added In experiments done at the University of California, lemon juice or vinegar were found to highlight the natural tomato flavor Q Can I can green beans and corn in a boiling water bath if I add two teaspoons of lemon juice like I do for tom atoes’’ A No Green beans and corn are low acid foods A large amount of lemon juice or vinegar would be needed Most people would find this sour taste unpalatable. For safety's sake it is recom mended that all vegetables ex cept tomatoes, be processed in a pressure canner at 10 pounds pressure for the proper time Q My canned beans sealed, but half the liquid boiled out What did I do wrong” Are they safe to use” A If you followed correct processing procedures using a pressure canner the beans are safe to use Fluctuating pressure inside the pressure canner often cause siphoning of liquid from the jar If the pressure dropped during the processing time the beans may not be safe unless you allowed extra time Try to con trol the heat so as to hold the pressure constant Q I like to can some of my foods in half pint jars Can I process them in half the time for pint ja rs” A No If a specific time for a half pint isn’t given, use the time given for pint jars Wieners YUBAN GROUND COFFEE STRETCH N ' SEAL CALIFORNIA T IN PLASTIC WRAP C a n ta lo u $ W SOFT ROLLS SWEET, RIPE FROZEN FOODS IVORY GORTONS CHOPPED OR MINCED GROUND COFFEE INSTANT COFFEE " INSTANT COFFEE '< SOFT MARC A t INE SLICE» CHEESE ~ WEOCE CHEESE VELVETTA - G IA N T SIZE DETERG ENT K IN G SIZE DETERG ENT Natural Vegetable Spray for Delicious PRICES EFFECTIVE JULY 31.
