Food Grade Citric acid question

[DuckLady]

I have a bucket of food grade citric acid from when I was going to get rich selling fizzy bath bombs.

So I want to use it up for canning.
What is the ratio to lemon juice for jams, and canned fruits, etc?

2 tablespoons of lemon juice or 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid per quart for tomatoes is the general rule of thumb, Terrie.

For low acid fruits I would say no more than 1 teaspoon per quart. I would mix it in the fruit, let it sit, then taste it. If it is too tart then add more sugar to offset it.

I have never made bath fizzies - easy??
