New canning method
In years past, tomatoes have
always been considered high in
acid and, therefore, home-
canned in the same manner
as fruits. However, in recent
years there has been an increase
in the varieties of tomatoes
available from supermarkets
and borne gardens (juicy or
meaty); large or small; red,
pink or yellow;round or oval in
shape).
Since the acid level of many
of these new varieties is lower
than that at which a food is
considered to be high acid,
food specialists at the Ontario
Food Council, Ministry of Ag-
riculture and Food, suggest you
use the new, recommended way
of home canning any tomato
variety.
This is the raw -pack method --
adding citric acid disslved in
boiling water to the tomatoes
and processing them for a longer
time than formerly.
Using the raw -pack method for
home canning tomatoes in pref-
erence to the hot -pack method
avoids an overly solid pack.
By using the raw -pack method
your jars won't be packed as
tightly as if the tomatoes had
been partially cooked and crush-
ed first. A solid pack could
prevent proper heat penetrat-
ion during processing.
Use hot water wisely
Save energy...Save money
Apart from home heating, a family usually consumes
the most energy in producing hot water.
Here are just a few small things you can do, that can
add up to a considerable energy saving. Turn off
hot water taps so they don't drip, fill clothes washers to
match the size of the Toad, wait until you have a full load
before using a dishwasher and remember showers usually
require less hot water than baths. Try not to use
more hot water than you need.

The addition of citric acid is
very important in order to
increase the acid level of tom-
atoes to an acceptable level for
hot water bath processing. Citric
acid comes in crystalline forrn,
is expensive, and available from
most drugstores. For each
quart jar of tomatoes, dissolve
1/2 teaspoon of citric acid 'in
1 tablespoon of boiling water.
For each pint jar, reduce the
citric acid to 1/4 teaspoon and
dissolve in 1 tablespoon of boil-
ing water. TGo assure a good
distribution of citric acid through-
out the tomatoes in the jar, half
fill the canning jars with the
prepared tomatoes, add the disso-
lved citric acid, then complete
the filling of the jars with tomat-
oes. The new recommended proc-
essing time for quart jars of tom-
atoes is 60 minutes; for pint
jars, 55 minutes in a hot water
bath processor.
