Citric Acid Jar, 12 oz (1 Pack) by Mrs. Wages

For home canning tomatoes, it is important to ensure safe acidity levels. This can be achieved by adding 1/2 teaspoon of Mrs. Wages citric acid to every quart of tomatoes (for pints, use 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid). The USDA recommends adding citric acid to each jar of canned tomatoes to reduce the risk of potential botulism.

Adding Mrs. Wages citric acid helps to raise the acidity and lower the pH level.
