I had green zebras on my toast this morning. Everything is ripening nicely, but growth is very uneven.
Did you choose upload to…This Forum or Tapatalk Hosted?
Here is a try from the former
This is three beefsteak next to a San Marzano!
I used Tapatalk Hosted because if I use This Forum I can’t see them in Tapatalk! I can’t see yours on iPhone.
I can see yours on my iPhone in Tapatalk, but not here on my iPad through Safari. I can’t see mine on the phone, but they are here through Safari. Answer solved.
Thank You Nancy.

Easy Tomato Canning Recipe

Of all of the fruits and vegetables I can, I get the most use out of canned tomatoes.
Tomato Canning Tips
Before you get started, here are some bits of information and some tips you should know.
1. Tomatoes are right on the edge of what is safe to use with the water bath canning method due to the high pH level. Choose plum or Roma tomatoes as they have a higher level of acidity. Regular varieties of eating tomatoes and heirloom tomatoes may not be safe to can.
2. You must add citric acid to the tomatoes to lower the pH. This recipe suggests Fruit Fresh, which is a commercial citric acid made for canning, but I simply use bottled lemon juice.
3. Fresh lemons vary in acidity and juice amount, so use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh. Use 1 tablespoon bottled lemon juice per pint jar and 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice per quart jar.
4. You don’t need to sterilize the jars because you are processing them for more than 10 minutes, but do scald them by dipping them in hot water before you fill them.
5. If the water is less than 3 inches over the tops of the jars in the pot, or if the water stops boiling, you must begin the processing over again at 40 minutes.
6. You can reuse the jars and the metal bands, but the sealing lid must be new each time.
7. Test each jar for a solid seal by lifting it by the sealing lid with just your fingertips. Any jars that aren’t sealed should be refrigerated and used within a week.
8. Remove the metal band before storing. If any bacteria grows inside the jar, it will push the lid off.
9. Store jars in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
10. Before using jars that have been stored, check the seal. If the lid is not secure with a good seal, throw the tomatoes away.
