EASY HOMEMADE SALSA FOR CANNING



Easy Homemade Salsa for Canning image

This is a nice recipe to use if you are new to canning. I received this recipe at my bridal shower. I've tried lots of salsa recipes and this one is the one I always return to. I also like the fact that it uses basic ingredients... nothing too hard-to-find. You can use your favorite canning method for this. Following the instructions on the box of jars is always a good place to start. It looks like a lot of instructions below, but it really isnt- I just want to make it as easy as possible for a beginner.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 Quarts

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 quarts tomatoes, thickly chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup banana pepper, seeded and chopped (or you can double the green peppers, or use any other kind of sweet pepper)
1 cup jalapeno pepper, chopped (use 2 cups for hot)
1 cup vinegar
3 tablespoons canning salt (I use Morton brand canning and pickling salt)
1/4 cup sugar (use up to 1/2 cup if you like very sweet salsa)
2 tablespoons dried oregano
8 tablespoons cornstarch
8 tablespoons warm water

Steps:

  • A note about peppers: Remember to use caution and always use gloves while handling. I always remove the seeds from mine before chopping but if you like hotter salsa feel free to leave them inches.
  • A note about tomatoes: you do not have to peel them, but most people prefer doing so. To quickly and easily peel them: give them a quick rinse to wash them off. Then drop them into a pot of boiling water for about a minute or until you see them crack and peeling. Remove with a slotted spoon into a large bowl of very cold ice water. Now you can easily remove the peel and the core. I usually put the chopped tomatoes into my 2 quart pitcher to measure the tomatoes.
  • To make salsa: Put all ingredients EXCEPT cornstarch and water into a large stock pot. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil over low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Mix together the cornstarch and warm water in a small bowl. Make sure the mixture is very smooth- you dont want any corn starch chunks in your salsa.
  • Add the corn starch liquid to the big pot of salsa, stirring while pouring.
  • Boil on low for 10 minutes, watching carefully so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
  • Pour into prepared canning jars, leaving about 1" for head space. Seal according to your favorite method.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh tomatoes.
  • If you like your salsa mild, remove the seeds from the peppers before chopping them.
  • For a spicier salsa, leave the seeds in the peppers.
  • Add other ingredients to your salsa to taste, such as diced onions, cilantro, or garlic.
  • Process the salsa in a food processor or blender until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Can the salsa in jars or bottles to enjoy it later.

Conclusion:

Making homemade salsa is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and peppers. It's also a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on tacos, burritos, nachos, or as a dip for chips. Canning salsa is a great way to preserve it so that you can enjoy it all year long. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own delicious homemade salsa. So next time you have a bunch of fresh tomatoes, give this recipe a try!
