Yield 17

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

30 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
10 cups chopped onions
2 cups vinegar
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
4 banana peppers, chopped
½ cup white sugar, or more to taste
10 cloves garlic, chopped
8 teaspoons pickling salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
17 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

Combine tomatoes, onions, vinegar, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix cilantro into salsa.
Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack salsa into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 35 minutes.
Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

JACKIE'S SALSA

Jackie's Salsa image

I got this recipe from a colleague at work. She was reluctant to give out the recipe to the "masses" but she was kind enough to give it to me. I have tweaked it a little, so it's a collaboration at this point. She approves of the changes and has incorporated them. A little heat, a lot of heat - up to you!

Ingredients

2 14 oz can(s) mexican stewed tomatoes
1 - yellow or sweet onion, chopped into large chunks
1 bunch(es) cilantro, stems removed, roughly chopped
1 - fresh jalapeno, seeded and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon(s) white vinegar
1 - lime, juiced
1 teaspoon(s) smoked paprika

Steps:

Place onions, cilantro, jalapeno and vinegar into a food processor and pulse until onions are in fairly small pieces.
Scrape down the sides of the food processor and add the stewed tomatoes, lime juice and smoked paprika. Process 30 seconds or so until very well mixed. Taste for heat - add additional jalapeno if more heat is desired.
Serve with chips or use in other Mexican dishes, like https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/chicken/chicken-spinach-enchiladas.html. Store this in the fridge, but it won't last long...
