I just canned roasted tomato sauce using romas that sounds a lot like your sauce except it is roasted and had fresh herbs and garlic in it. I added 1 tbsp lemon juice per jar just to be safe. Citric acid works too. I understand your concern though since you had intended to do this and forgot. > > I did everything else right as far as sterilization etc....my first canning > effort so want to be safe.

I could be wrong on this but the variety is not the only thing that affects the acidity of tomatoes. The amount of water and where they are grown affects acidity too. > > I'll just open one and buy a good ph tester. That might be your best bet. Alternately, you could reprocess and add the lemon juice or citric acid. It would mean emptying each jar into a lg sauce pan and heating your sauce to boiling. Re-sterilize your jars and rings but use new snap lids. Add lemon juice or citric acid to each hot jar then refill. Re-do your bwb as before. > > |
