Salsa Verde--canning Recipe image

I love this recipe, and I love Ball's new Big Book of Canning, where this has been hidden! I have used half the peppers called for, and the full amount called for in another batch, both are yummy! I omit the cilantro per the request of my husband, who seems to be able to find the smallest amount! Lovely, tart recipe.

Time 1h5m

Yield 5 half pints

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 1/2 cups chopped husked tomatillos
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped hot pepper
1/2 cup white vinegar
4 garlic cloves, chopped fine
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare canner, jars and lids.
  • In a large stainless saucepan combine all the ingredients.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium high heat, stirring often to prevent sticking.
  • Cook for 10 minutes.
  • At this point I puree half the batch (I use an immersion blender).
  • Ladle hot salsa into hot jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.
  • Wipe rims, center lids and screw on band to fingertip tight.
  • Place jars in canner, cover and bring canner to a boil.
  • Process for 15 minutes.
  • Turn off heat, remove lid of canner and let jars sit for 5 additional minutes.
  • Remove jars, cool, label and store.
  • I get 2 full and 1 half pint from this recipe.
