- We canned some tomato product (pizza sauce) using a combination of roma tomatoes and regular tomatoes. Some of the tomatoes had blossom rot, which I cut off. We did not do anything to increase acidity and canned them in a steam canner. Now, I'm reading things online about botulism and canning and low acidity and I'm freaked out. Should I discard my sause? If any botulism toxin exists, will boiling the sause for 10 minutes before use be sufficient to salvage it?

When my mother heated them for a meal, she brought them to a boil then removed the lid and let them boil for at least a minute with the lid off. She said this was necessary to be safe. Is it necessary or was that just something passed down from before pressure canning was available?
