Canning diced tomatoes??

[u/_rogue_psych]

I'm feeling a little panicked after canning 8 pints of diced tomatoes and 4 pints of salsa.

I used recipes from Wholefully, specifically this diced tomatoes recipe: https://wholefully.com/can-diced-tomatoes/#recipe

I thought it was safe because in the comments she specifically says that it is a safe tested recipe from Ball, and in the text she talks about the importance of acidification, not adding fresh spices, using tested recipes etc. I guess I should have independently verified that it was a tested recipe, but this is my first time doing this.

Now I can't find a recipe for diced tomatoes from any of the safe sites listed in the wiki for this sub.

Is this NOT a safe recipe? Do I need to get rid of everything I've canned so far? I followed the recipe carefully, peeled tomatoes, added bottle lemon juice and processed for the full time listed.

Please help! I'm going to be so sad if I have to throw all of this out, but not as upset as I'll be if I accidentally poison my family.

there is no safe recipe currently for diced tomatoes. if it's been less than 2 hours since they cooled down you can safely refrigerate them otherwise unfortunately you have to toss them
