I make this and my family really enjoys it. I add extra jalapenos or any hot peppers that I have on hand. You can adjust the heat level from mild to screaming hot this way.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups diced white onion
  • 1/2 cup diced jalepeno peppers(seeded and membrane removed)
  • 3 cups diced bell peppers
  • 10 cups tomatoes(skinned, chopped and drained for about 15 minutes, then measure)
  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 cups white vinegar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons cumin
  • 3 tablespoons salt
  • 1 - 18 ounce can of tomato paste

How To Make salsa for canning

  • Step 1
    Put all ingredients into a large size kettle EXCEPT for the tomato paste. Bring to a boil and simmer for 45 minutes or until veggies are done.
  • Step 2
    I do this half the time with the lid on and half with it off. Add the tomato paste, stir and watch closely so it doesn't burn.
  • Step 3
    Simmer until very hot again and put in sterilized jars. Fill to 1/4 inch from top. Hot water bath for 15 minutes. Start timing when the water bath returns to a boil. ENJOY.
