Salsa!!



I know I've posted this before, but here is a refresher (for you Torrie!).  I also know it's a little early to start thinking about summer/fall canning, but here goes:

Salsa
6# tomatoes (13 1/2 cups) - chopped & peeled
5-6 jalepenos (no seeds) - chopped
2 onions - chopped
1 1/2 bell peppers - chopped
4 cloves garlic - minced
2 TBSP. salt
1 TBSP. mexican oregano
1 bunch cilantro - chopped
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 - 6oz can tomato paste
1 - 4oz can diced green chiles
10 hot yellow wax peppers - chopped

Cook down for atleast 1 hour
Process PINTS in Boiling water bath canner for 20 minutes.
Makes 6-8 pints

It is fairly mild, but I rarely stick to this exact recipe anymore.  I usually add a variety of peppers from the garden and mix it up a little.

  4. I find mexican oregano in the mexican section of our grocery store. There is a big section of mexican spices. I've also used regular oregano and it's fine. Just a different variety.
