Citric Acid Jar for Mrs. Wages, 12 Oz

When it comes to home canning of tomatoes, it is crucial to ensure safe acidity levels. The USDA recommends the addition of citric acid to each jar of canned tomatoes to reduce the potential risk of botulism. Although tomatoes are generally considered high-acid fruits, some varieties have higher known pH levels, making them more susceptible to the spores of Clostridium botulinum.

To address this, Mrs. Wages' citric acid is an effective solution. By adding 1/2 teaspoon of Mrs. Wages citric acid to every quart of tomatoes (or 1/4 teaspoon for pints), the acidity is raised, and the pH is lowered, ensuring a safer canning process. This step is essential, as the addition of citric acid helps balance the high levels of pH found in certain tomato varieties.

Whether you're an experienced home canner looking for a reliable secret weapon or a busy home cook seeking a quick solution, Mrs. Wages' citric acid is the perfect tool to help you get fresh produce to the table in a delicious and safe manner. The product is free from artificial flavors and colors, making it a trusted choice for home canning.

Whether you're looking for good old-fashioned secret weapons for canning fresh produce or you prefer a more efficient, get-it-done-quick approach, Mrs. Wages has exactly what you need to safely and deliciously preserve your homegrown or store-bought tomatoes.
