Once the first frost hits I'll have some green tomatoes to use up. There's
a recipe for tomatillo salsa I plan to try that specifically says green
tomatoes can be subbed for the tomatillos. The recipe calls for bottled
lemon juice, though. I'd rather use vinegar. How acidic is lemon juice?
How much vinegar do I have to sub to be equivalent?

Also, can green tomatoes be subbed in general for tomatillos? I've got a
recipe I like I'd just as soon use.

Bottle lemon juice and most commercial vinegars are 5% acid and can be
substituted for each other
