Bv PATRICIA M. BRAMAS Extension Agent. Home Economist Q. I recently read an article pertaining to low-acid tomatoes being favorable to the growth of botulism. What tomato varieties are considered low acid and how should they be processed.

Caro Red and Spnng Set are considered low-acid tomatoes and should be acidified However, since most homemakers do not know the acidity level of their tomatoes, it is a good idea to add acid to all tomatoes before canning You can do as commercial canners do and process jars under pressure, thus producing temperatures high enough to destroy the botulism spores An easier way is to add acid and process by hot water bath This can be done by adding either two teaspoons of standanzed lemon juice per quart of tomatoes or 4 teaspoon citric acid per quart The addition of acid will alter the taste only slightly An additional precaution would be to boil tomatoes and tomato juice 15 minutes pnor to « serving Botulism bacteria cannot be detected by smell, appearance, or taste, so low-acid foods must be boiled 10-15 minutes before tasting Q. Why do peanut butter cookies taste burnt though baked the recommended length of time? A Peanut butter is a tricky cookie ingredient Baking them for the length of time stated in the
