| Is this recipe safe for water bath canning? It is a recipe I received from a relative after I tried some of theirs. It tasted quite good, but I'm not to certain on the process. 1 tbsp vegetable oil saute onions in oil till clear, add garlic and saute 30 seconds, add tomatoes and broth. Bring to boil. |

| Is it safe? There is no way to know. It is a cooking recipe that someone has tried to convert to a canning recipe but left in the oil and the fresh basil which wouldn't be in a canning recipe. It is untested so both the density and the pH is unknown and the processing time is just a guess. It is a do at your own risk recipe. Dave |

| I'd say with the chicken broth, the garlic and onion, not in a million years. A tablespoon of lemon juice couldn't begin to reduce the pH to a level suitable for BWB. Besides, assuming the chicken broth is canned, you're canning canned tomatoes and canned broth amended with a few other ingredients, all available year-round except for the fresh basil. And that can be frozen in the summer. In other words, you'd essentially be re-canning, a total waste of your jars, lids and utilities. Carol |
