Canned the ripened tomatoes from the farm last night. They were mostly ripe, just a few green hard spots. Put up 2 quarts and one pint. One of the quart jar cracked on first placing in the water bath. I tried to save the contents and mostly succeeded. I added citric acid to this batch. 1 teaspoon for 2 quarts.
Again, like last time, lots of tomatoes leaked during canning. One of the quarts failed to seal. I made up the lost liquid with water (about a half inch) and re-canned that.quart. it did seal after the second canning
Damn frustrating!
I am thinking of taking some quart jars with me to Pennsylvania in case more are ready.
Total tomatoes canned so far is only 3.5 quarts!
