Recipe

• 1 chop all tomatoes into small pieces, throw into a large stock pot.
• 2 i like to run the onions and peppers through the food processor to keep tears to a minimum and to keep large pieces fairly small. not processed enough to puree though. or you can chop with a knife.
• 3 take the jalapenos or any combo of hot peppers you like and run them through the food processor til very minced (nobody likes a big bite of hot pepper. i usually do 1/2 c of processed peppers for my mild, 1 c for medium and 1 1/2c - 2 c for hot. it does get hotter the longer it sits in the cupboard.
• 4 throw all the chopped vegetables and remaining ingredients into the stock pot and bring to a boil. boil on low for one hour.
• 5 prepare your jars for canning. heat jars and lids.
• 6 ladle hot salsa into hot jars, wipe rims, place hot lids on jars and put screw bands on and finger tighten.
• 7 process in a hot water bath for fifteen minutes.
