Question
I'm canning tomatos, this year I got yellow tomatos instead of red ones. Is there anything different in the process of canning them? I'm not sure if I should can them like a red tomato or do something different. If you can help I'd greatly appreciate it.
hello
Mature Yellow tomatoes are slighty less acidic than red tomatoes. It is my belief that they can be processed the same as red tomatoes.
I don't think they would fit into the category of a low acid vegetable though. You may wish to process yellow tomatoes for a little bit longer than red tomatoes.
Hope this is helpful.
