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:
- Use fresh, ripe ingredients. This will give your salsa the best flavor.
- Chop your ingredients evenly. This will help them cook evenly and distribute the flavor throughout the salsa.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking the salsa in a skillet, make sure there's enough space for the ingredients to spread out and cook evenly.
- Cook the salsa over medium heat. This will help prevent the ingredients from burning.
- Season the salsa to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Let the salsa cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salsa with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, or other Mexican dishes.
Conclusion:
Fresh homemade garden salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have a fresh tomato harvest, put it to good use in this delicious salsa recipe!
