I know what you mean. I'm redecorating my bedroom now, regretting some choices I've made in the past. I had a canopy bed as a teen, and when I moved out to pursue my adult life I thought it was juvenile, so I sold it. Now I wish I had it because they make Faraday fabric now. I can just see it all draped over the top canopy frame and down the sides.

But I'm not buying a bed for this impulse, or getting rid of the wicker headboard I carried home, on foot, from a garage sale, while cars were honking at me and people giving me thumbs-up.

I guess what I really need is a second bedroom, haha.

Thank you I hate to see any go to waste but...
It does happen with pressure cookers but the maters anymore don't carry the acids they used too, at least not the ones I grew but they taste so good, so to be safe they new cannin books call for pressure, I still water bath some.

Jimi, you wrote yesterday:

"It's your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you."

I almost made this a pm rather than run my mouth in this public thread, but I'd be interested in having Goph's input too, since he cans his produce.

It makes me sick that you lost two quarts of the good organic tomatoes you worked so hard to grow, and two of your canning jars you spent good money on. When I search online, I read it happens to people all the time in pressure cooker canning.

Lots of government recommendations are scammy, designed to make us fail, and sometimes there are lobbying efforts behind them. Those things go into "updated" books, and we're on the road to despair.

Yes, our produce has lost nutrients due to degraded soil, but I assume you're composting your kitchen waste into the soil.

The USDA recommendations for home canning is now an empty "401" page.

This is from FDA (what business is it of theirs?):


But at the bottom line, all of the naturally occurring acids in tomatoes can be replaced as additives, if you really feel it's necessary. Here is a good article about it:

www.livestrong.com

Tomato Guide: Nutrition, Benefits, Side Effects, and More

Discover the health benefits of tomatoes, a versatile fruit packed with nutrients like lycopene and vitamin C. Learn about their potential to reduce cancer risk, improve heart health, and aid in weight loss.
www.livestrong.com www.livestrong.com

You can buy food grade citric, ascorbic and malic acid. Probably just a little goes a long way.

Then you can go back to the failsafe methods that have stood you and our ancestors in good stead for decades, if not hundreds of years.

Luv ya

If the acidity is below 4.5 on the pH scale then they should be able to be water bath canned. Ideal would be in the threes. This pH tester is about $50 on Amazon and is highly rated. I'd send the link but it might have my info.
