Canning geen tomatoes?
Julia C   Advanced Beginner NV USA Member since 7/1/07 Posts: 915	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 9/26/10 9:36 PM My husband found a recipe online to can sliced green tomatoes. Slice 1/4" thick,place in wide mouth jar,cover with boiling water & process for 10min in water bath. Then use as usual. Has anyone ever tried this or anything similar?

My recipes calls for a much longer water bath. I've lent out that book, so can't look up the exact time for you, sorry.

You should be fine. If you are worried try adding a Tablesoon of vinegar to each jar to raise the acidity.

She did not think it was safe due to the short water bath time compared to ripe tomatoes. I don't like the relishes & doubt my husband has ever even had any--regional differences. The good thing is my tomatoes are getting ripe as the weather has been so weird around here we haven't had a heavy frost yet. The leaves on some of the trees have started turning gold, many are still pretty green. At this rate, I don't like to think what winter will be like.

Keep in mind they will be too mushy to fry, but if you're okay with that, then go ahead. Add 5 minutes to the canning time to be on the safe side. ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature.
