Re: Wish Salsa lasted longer !
Thanks, I wondered about the canned stuff.OldUsedParts wrote:I've never Preserved the combination of canned and fresh but something that you might consider also is to boil "ONLY" the fresh veggies and not the Canned Stuff ?????? Maybe Rambo or Willie has some thoughts since they've used the Canned Maters in with the other Fresh Veggies.
Thanks, so are you saying to do the canned stuff also?Rambo wrote:I don’t see any reason not too. As OUP said, I think it just brings all the flavors together. I don’t hard, rolling boil mine however. When it comes to a boil I reduce the heat and just let it simmer a while. Once I pour it up I do go straight to the water bath cooker and let that come to a rolling boil for five minutes with the jars in there then I pull and place on a wire rack. You’ll hear the kids sealing off, they make a clicking sound

Which is why salsa which contains tomatoes has a high acid content that a water bath can be used? Also adding vinegar or lime juice increases the acid, correct?OldUsedParts wrote:Google also says this: Clostridium botulinum bacteria are the main reason why pressure canning is absolutely necessary for canning low-acid food.
So is there a specific amount of vinegar or lime juice to add to x amount of salsa to make it be in the safe zone to keep the nasties at Bay?Rambo wrote:OldUsedParts wrote:Google also says this: Clostridium botulinum bacteria are the main reason why pressure canning is absolutely necessary for canning low-acid food.
Which is why I add juice of one freshly squeezed lime and a cup of vinegar to my batches
