Would you be willing to share your tomato sauce recipe?

[tamidon.livejournal.com]

cook up all the tomatoes, send them thru a food mill, reduce until thickened and then can in HW bath with ascorbic acid

Would it taste weird to use a bit of lemon juice instead of straight ascorbic acid?

[tamidon.livejournal.com]

as long as you use realemon you will keep the acidity at the right level, but it gives a but of flavor, ascorbic acid gives no flavor but the right acidity. Check a canning book to check for how much to use

Is canning chicken stock better than merely freezing it? (I'm guessing that you'd say YES but I don't know why)

my freezer is filled with meat from happy animals since i've been working with goddessfarmer so there isnt alot of room for something that takes up as much space as stock. The jars fit on the shelf really well
