I used to love helping my mom and grandma can. Here lately I don't have the time or the energy to do it though. It doesn't help that our garden didn't do squat either. We used to can tomatoes, green beans, among other stuff as well. I always had a blast helping can.

Natural on a scale of 1-10 how hot is your recipe?

Easy Salsa

24 cups chopped tomatoes

2 cups white vinegar

2 cups diced jalapeño peppers (seeds and all) (wear gloves when handling hot peppers)

2 cups diced bell pepper

2 cups diced onion

2 small cans tomato sauce

3 to 6 cloves garlic

1 bunch fresh cilantro

1 tbsp canning salt


Bring tomatoes and vinegar to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer for 1 hour. Stir often.

Add all other ingredients and cook another 1-2 hours or more to desired consistency.

Put in hot jars. Process 15 minutes in boiling water bath. A 1/4 bunch of cilantro may be added in the second cooking.

NOTE: An optional way of thickening the product is to simmer in a crockpot with the lid off until desired thickness. This helps prevent scorching.

Yield: 10 pints
