HELP PLEASE!! Canning tomatoes

7 years ago

This is my first time canning tomatoes, my first time canning period, and I misread the directions and instead of putting 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid in quart jars I did the opposite and put 1 teaspoon of citric acid and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per quart jar. Can I fix this or do I need to? What happens since I put in twice the amount of citric acid? HELP PLEASE!!!

Your tomatoes will be sour....add a teaspoon or 2 of sugar and enough salt to be what the recipe says.
