Who knew canning tomatoes was such a controversial subject? When you stumble across canning discussions on Facebook or in other homestead groups, this seems to be one of the most hotly contested topics. Why you might ask?

In today’s episode, I share a simple solution that will allow you to utilize any canning method you desire.

Some key highlights from today’s episode:
• How decay and over-ripening affect the acidity
• When to use water-bath canning vs. pressure canning
