Here's how I can tomatoes. Some like to add lemon juice for more acidity, and others don't. Low acid tomatoes aren't really lower acid, but are higher sugar.

I can about 100 quarts of tomatoes, 40 quarts of sauce, and 25 half-pints of pizza sauce each year, so it's been years since I've bought canned tomato products.
