My friend’s partner gave me a bunch of yellow and red cherry tomatoes from his garden, so I turned them into salsa last night! From what I was able to find on this sub, yellow tomatoes can be safely substituted in this recipe. The middle jar in the front row had a buckled lid after sealing, so it was opened to taste test and then went into the refrigerator. Picture was taken before removing the collars and labeling them, so apologies for no headspace pic!

I have made this recipe as well and it is really good, tomatoes are tomatoes so really any variety works as long as the quantity and process are the same. Lid buckling is generally due to over tightening the ring. Great job and enjoy the new hobby!
