Are my home canned tomatoes safe?
I opened a jar of my home canned tomatoes and noticed the seeds had turned black. Is this a sign that I shouldn't use the tomatoes? We used up-to-date canning procedures when we canned them. The black seeds just gave me reason to question their safety.

That said, if there’s ANY indication that theyve turned … bubbles fizzing of course MOLD … toss them. Not worth the risk.
