Steps:
- Combine tomatoes, onions, vinegar, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix cilantro into salsa.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack salsa into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 35 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest, ripest tomatoes available for the best flavor.
- If you don't like spicy salsa, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before chopping them.
- For a milder salsa, use less chili peppers or use a milder variety, such as ancho or guajillo peppers.
- If you want a chunkier salsa, chop the tomatoes and onions into larger pieces.
- For a smoother salsa, blend the ingredients in a food processor or blender until they reach the desired consistency.
- Taste the salsa and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Let the salsa chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
