Salsa Verde Canning Recipe image

I wanted a good canning recipe (and a safe one) for all the tomatillos I have in my garden, so after much searching I found this one. It is posted by Nancy Castleman on the Good Advice Press site under the name of Marc and Nancy's Salsa Verde, and I just moved it over here. The lemon and lime juices add the needed acidity for canning.

Time 20m

Yield 6 pints

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs about 8 cups tomatillos
2 cups chopped onions
1 -4 hot pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup fresh cilantro, minced
4 -8 garlic cloves
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup lime juice

Steps:

  • After removing husks, halve and then coarsely chop the tomatillos.
  • Lightly coat the bottom of a large pot with oil, turn the burner on high, and add all the ingredients. Stir frequently and bring to a boil. Lower the temperature and let the salsa simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Other recipes call for cumin, oregano, water, oil, lemon thyme, salt, pepper, tarragon, cognac, sugar, tart apples, vinegar, and sweet red peppers. Feel free to add a bit of any or all of these to your salsa before you bring it to a boil.
  • Carefully fill sterilized pint or half-pint jars and process them for 20 minutes using the boiling-water-bath method. (For complete canning directions, she recommends The Big Book of Preserving the Harvest.).
