Exactly. Also I might want to take a container of produce camping for a week or two. Throw some goodies in my ice box and drive down the road. My one litre of dried processed beans is sufficient food for about 18 meals with some juice and some pilot bread. Sometimes I store the beans in the...

First of all my Tomato preserving method is safe generally on two fronts. The high temperature (250F) of canning and the acid content of tomatoes. Either alone is sufficient. If you have doubts, simple increase the processing time to any length you imagine is safe...
