There is no need to add lemon juice to tomatoes in pressure canning.

If you didn’t know that, you probably don’t know how to correctly process/can food.

I’ve been canning since I was old enough to snap beans. I did not pressure can them. If you reread my post, I clearly typed re-water bath can. Thanks for the snotty post though.

With modern tomato cultivars that are lower in acid than the older tomatoes, additional acid may be needed.

Times change. So do our veggies.

Dang, that's helpful. Not.

That was a little snarky ???

There is debate whether newer tomato varieties are acid enough to safely can without lemon juice...
