Time 1h30m

Yield 17

Number Of Ingredients 13

30 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
10 cups chopped onions
2 cups vinegar
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
4 banana peppers, chopped
½ cup white sugar, or more to taste
10 cloves garlic, chopped
8 teaspoons pickling salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
17 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings

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.

NEW MEXICAN TOMATO/TOMATO PASTE SALSA FOR CANNING



New Mexican Tomato/Tomato Paste Salsa for Canning image

Found this jewel in the New Mexico State University's Cooperative Extension Service tomato canning recipes. http://aces.nmsu.edu/pubs/_e/e-323.pdf I wanted a thicker sauce than my slicing tomatoes/beefsteaks & cherries would otherwise give me. Think this will do the trick. Plan to use with whatever hot peppers are ripe - jalapeno, Bulgarian carrot, serrano, cayenne. Moi caliente! EDIT - I have made my first 8 pints - I shredded my big quartered beefsteaks & slicers in the Cuisinart using the shredding disc because my food mill was making them into thin tomato juice - didn't notice skins at all in the smooth flavorful final product! I plan to use this more as a taco sauce given how thick & smooth this sauce has turned out. I used the proscribed jalapenos & giant marconis for the long green chiles (same size & mildness) - turned out mild-medium - won't burn out any but the tenderest of mouths as written. Will be making at least another 3 or 4 batches - peppers will be similar in size but vary with what the garden gives us.
