Wondering how to make homemade salsa safely? Don't buy an expensive electronic tester to find the precise pH when approximate pH values will do. Use Indigo® pH 3-6 test strips to save processing time & make deadly toxin free salsa that is can or glass jar safe.

There doesn't have to be a trade-off between taste and food safety. Once you know your salsa is less than pH 4.6, it's safe to eat; how much more acidic is a matter of taste. Why?

Salsa recipes are already a mix of low-acid foods, such as onions and peppers. Tomatoes are acidic enough so don't need a lot of added vinegar, lemon juice or powdered citric acid to end up with a safe product.

Details

Dip a strip for 1-2 seconds, shake off excess salsa & compare to the color chart. If you’re a little high, add vinegar, lemon or lime juice. Retest each time until you're in the safe zone.

Needed an easy way to check my materials for canning, especially my tomato sauces. These test strips saved me a lot of trouble since I didn't have to add any special acid to them after I discovered that mine were perfect at pH4.0. THis very simple test saved me a lot of money and i'm very happy with the product

Great news & an excellent example of how to use a test strip to make preparing tomato sauce & salsa easier. This old blog might be of some interest to others: How Does Litmus Paper Work? Not Like pH Strips?.
