Yield 160

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 pounds fresh tomatillos, husks removed
2 pounds poblano peppers
6 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
4 cups onion, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup lime juice
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon seasoned salt

Steps:

Blend tomatillos, poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers, onion, chicken broth, and garlic in a food processor or an electric blender in batches.
Pour blended mixture into a large stockpot and add cilantro, lime juice, oregano, and seasoned salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, inspect 10 to 12 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until blended mixture is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
Pack sauce into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 25 minutes.
Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
