How to Make Homemade Salsa
Servings: 6 pints
Ingredients
- 10 cups tomatoes about 6 lbs - chopped, seeded, peeled and cored
- 5 cups diced green bell pepper
- ½ c minced jalapeno pepper seeded
- 5 cups diced red onion
- 1 ¼ c apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tb minced cilantro
- 3 tsp salt
- 2 habanero peppers seeded and minced (optional)
Instructions
- To begin, combine all of the ingredients in a large pot. Stir it all together.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Let this cook for 10 minutes.
- Ladle the hot salsa into hot, sterile jars. Leave 1/4 inch of head space between the top of the salsa and the top of the jar.
- Place the lid and ring onto the jar. Repeat with the remaining salsa.
- Process the jars in a hot water bath - boiling for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the jars from the water and allow them to cool in a draft-free location. After 24 hours, remove the rings.
- Remember - never stack jars that are filled with preserves!
- Enjoy this salsa with chips, nachos or any way you wish.
Notes
When I make this salsa, I will make some in pint jars, and some in the very small 4 ounce jars to give away as gifts.
