Just one tip. Debubble first and then check headspace. If you debubble after and there is an air pocket you will have to replenish the water to get the correct headspace.
After pouring the liquid in? The liquid is what causes the air pockets. You should be debubbling after the liquid is poured and rechecking headspace. Adding more liquid is normal.
The citric acid helps with that but also, I recommend cutting them thicker than I did this time. I noticed that the thicker ones did a lot better when frying. I was really happy overall with how they kept and fried up!
They are soooo good!! I put up just enough jars to make them about once every other week! It’s great to use up all the end of season green tomatoes, the ones that won’t have time to ripen.
I never thought of that.
Great idea!
Good video! Thanks 😊
Do I have to wait til winter?

When will they be ready to fry?
Ready to fry any time. No need to wait. I just put them up for winter since we can’t grow year round here.
