Easy Canned Whole Tomatoes

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

Can anyone tell me what pickling vinegar is? Is this a vinegar with a certain % acidity, or vinegar with spices?

Canning food is a science unto itself quite different from cooking. The proper preparation of shelf-stable foods is very rewarding, but correct procedures should always be followed. Canning an unapproved, untested recipe is like playing with fire. You might have the acidity correct or you might not. Incorrect processing can allow the formation of botulism, a seriously disabling sometimes fatal, type of food poisoning.

Frank was right to point out where the current guidelines can be found. 20 minutes of processing time is not adequate for any tomato product.

Oh sure. I think plum or beefsteak tomatoes would be great! Megan
