Spicy, tangy, fresh, a real crowd pleaser. If you don't have fresh tomatoes on hand substitute 4 15 ounce cans of diced tomatoes.

Time 6h5m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 red onion, chopped
1 white onion, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
6 pounds fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 banana peppers, chopped
3 green bell peppers, chopped
3 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
½ cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 ½ tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
8 pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

Combine red onion, white onion, yellow onion, tomatoes, banana peppers, green peppers, tomato paste, white vinegar, garlic powder, salt, cayenne pepper, cumin, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large pot. Simmer until thick, about 3 hours.
Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the salsa into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a 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 over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 to 15 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). Refrigerate after opening.

Tips:

Choose ripe tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and a meaty texture.
Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the salsa a smoky depth of flavor. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on a grill.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, and oregano add a burst of flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño or serrano pepper. You can also add cayenne pepper or chili powder.
Let the salsa sit: Letting the salsa sit for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld together. This will give you the best possible flavor.

Conclusion:

This kickin' salsa is the perfect way to add some spice to your next meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like it mild, medium, or hot, this salsa is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy appetizer or condiment, give this kickin' salsa a try!
