Green Tomato Sauce for Canning
I'm looking for a green tomato pasta sauce for canning. I'm having trouble finding a good one. I don't want the meat in it or the cheese that goes on top. I just want the sauce to can in a jar. Thank you.
--Judy
Hi Judy,
I don’t happen to have any recipes for canning tomatoes or tomato sauce on the site. However the Tomato Canning section of the National Center for Home Food Preservation website has a wealth of information and recipes for canning tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato juice, different kinds of tomato sauce, and other tomato products. I’m confident that you can find the recipe you need to can a green tomato sauce. (And note that the Introduction page of the tomato section assures us that “Green tomatoes are more acidic than ripened fruit and can be canned safely with any of the following recommendations.”) Good luck!
