Provided by Great Lakes

Categories Appetizers

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

20-25 Roma tomatoes, blanched, peeled, and loosely chopped
3-4 large Spanish onions, chopped
3-4 large green peppers, chopped
2 poblano peppers, chopped
3 jalapeño peppers, chopped
4-5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2-3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons salt
1.5 teaspoons citric acid

Steps:

Combine all ingredients except citric acid in large stock pot. Heat to boiling, then reduce to simmer for 20-30 minutes.
Sterilize 6 quart jars or 12 pint jars. Sterilize lids.
Put 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid into each jar for quarts, or 1/8 teaspoon for pints.
Fill jars with salsa, leaving 1 inch headspace. De-bubble jars and wipe rims with damp paper towel.
Place jars into canner and fill with enough water to cover jars completely.
Heat water to full boil and then set timer for 20 minutes for quarts, or 15 minutes for pints. This is the processing step.
After processing is finished, turn off heat and carefully remove jars from canner. Set on counter and leave undisturbed for 12-24 hours. The lid on each jar should "pop", which means the seal is good and canning was successful. If any jars don't pop, the seal isn't good and jar will not be shelf stable. Put any unsealed jars in fridge and use within 2 weeks.
Remove metal rings and store sealed jars in a cool place away from direct light. Use within 1 year. Refrigerate and use within 2 weeks after opening.
