CANNING TOMATOES AND SALSA: Canning Tomatoes and Salsa, By Diane Whitten, Nutrition & Food Resource Educator, Cornell Cooperativ­e Extension Saratoga County. When you’ve got more tomatoes than you can eat, it’s time to preserve them. Canning will save freezer space and is relatively simple. You can simply put skinned, raw tomatoes in a jar, add hot water and process. Or you can get more creative and make a sauce, ketchup, hot sauce or salsa. When making salsa to can a recipe developed for canning must be used. You should not make your own salsa and can it because you won’t know the acidity of the final product or the appropriat­e canning method or proper process-

ing time. Diane Whitten will be doing a presentati­on on Zoom about Canning Tomatoes and Salsa on Friday, September 11, at 11am.
