    >>The question is:
One says use 4 oz. of lime juice for 16 cups of tomatoes
One says use 2 1/2 cups vinegar for 20 cups of tomatoes

I think I would like the lime flavor better but I wasn't sure if I
should really use the vinegar for proper canning.
Bigtom's recipe says, "You can add, subtract or change just about
anything except the vinegar unless you are cutting the recipe in half.

  I would think you may be Ok to switch the vinegar to lime juice. I wouldn't 
combine the two, I think the vinegar would over power the lime. Since they 
are both acid it may work just fine.
 You may want to try a half batch of each and see how they turn out. I think 
the lime sounds good.
  GOOD LUCK!!
