help, I just canned 38 qts of tomatoes. the last jar I grabbed because I thought I had enough to fill it and I know I forgot to add the citric acid. I completed the task and realized one jar did not get the citric acid. the variety of tomatoes is Mariana and pony express. I am hoping these are of adequate enough acid to make this jar safe. I cannot find information about the acidity of different varieties. I feel like I will play Russian roulette with my tomatoes. I know the chances are slim but do you know if this variety will suffice with the acid level. I know heirloom tomatoes are low acid and also san Marzano. any information you have will be appreciated.
