In reply to Sandi. Hi Sandi, Yes, any tomatoes should be fine as long as the weight is the same.

Hey Gigi. Quick question – will any tomatoes do, as long as the weight is the same?

Thanks so much for answering quickly. Now I see where I got myself confused, I’m hoping to make a batch tomorrow & possibly some sauerkraut the day after, using your recipes.

In reply to Janne. Hi Janne, thanks for stopping by. Once you fill-up the jar with salsa ensure to close it tightly with a lid. Then place the jar on a plate, cover it with a tea towel and let it ferment away from the direct sunlight. During the fermentation process, the jar may leak due to the build-up of carbon dioxide as the fermentation occurs hence the suggestion to place the jar on a plate to collect potential leakage. Hope this helps! Good luck! Gigi

Hi Gigi, I’ve been looking through your delicious sounding recipes & really want to make the fermented Salsa, but I’m unsure of the sealing of the jar, hoping you can clarify. In #7 you say… to ferment, cover the jar & store in a dry place… but then you go on further to say (still in #7), place a clean dish towel on its top to prevent dust & flies from entering. Also, further down in the cooking tips for beginners you say… Make sure that you have closed the mason jar tightly. This is necessary to ensure the gas produced during fermentation does not escape etc.
So, I’m confused as to when I should close the lid of the jar? Is it at the beginning as soon as it’s been filled or sometime later?
Thanks for your lovely recipes & regards, Janne
