Karen, Wow! Your comment absolutely made my day! I’m thrilled to hear that you successfully canned green tomatoes for the first time ever. That’s a fantastic achievement, and I’m so proud of you for giving it a try.😃 It’s wonderful to know that the recipe was exactly what you were looking for and that it made the canning process easier for you. Canning can be such a rewarding and satisfying skill to learn, and you’ve taken a great step forward. Keep up the great work, and happy canning!

Nancy, I recommend sticking with the pint-sized jars as specified in the recipe. The recipe has been tested and designed for this jar size to ensure both safety and quality. Deviating from it could affect processing times and potentially compromise safety. If you have extra green tomatoes, consider making multiple batches following the approved recipe for the best results.

Stacey, I’m glad you enjoy the recipes. 🙂 When it comes to canning recipes, it’s important to follow them as written, especially for safety reasons. The tested recipes have specific ingredient proportions to ensure proper acidity and preservation. Adding ingredients like onions or red bell peppers could alter the acidity levels and affect the safety of the final product. If you’re interested in adding these ingredients, I recommend searching for tested canning recipes that already include them. This ensures you’ll have delicious and safe results
