Where is the tomato sauce recipe?
I didn’t share mine because it’s a family recipe. But there are many great ones online.
how very generous of you.
So you put the lemon juice in the bottom of hot jar and then the tomato sauce on top of the lemon juice?
Yes if you are canning them. If I have room I will also just freeze the jars, in that case I don’t use the lemon juice.
