Chipotle Salsa (For Canning) image

From my friend Shirley - it is our absolute favorite salsa recipe to can. It has a wonderful smoky flavor from the chipotle peppers. I would consider it to be mild. Heat could be adjusted by adding more hot peppers.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 pints, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 cups roma tomatoes
4 cups sweet peppers, chopped
2 cups onions, minced
4 garlic cloves
1 hot pepper (such as jalepeno)
1 -2 tablespoon chipotle pepper, pureed
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons paprika
16 ounces tomato paste
1/4 cup cilantro, copped

Steps:

  • Blanch the tomatoes, remove the skin, and then chop. Measure 8 cups.
  • Mix all ingredients except the cilantro in a large pot and simmer until desired thickness is reached, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Ad the cilantro just before you are ready to pour into jars.
  • Fill into hot, sterilized pint jars and top with hot, sterilized canning lids. I do not process in a canner and have never had a problem, but you may process in a hot-water-bath canner at this point for 20 minutes if you are concerned about food safety.
  • If you buy a half-bushel of tomatoes and adjust the rest of the ingredients accordingly you get about 6 batches and 36 pints.
