4 c tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 1/4 c green peppers, chopped
3/4 c mixed hot peppers, chopped (red chiles, serranos, habaneros)*
6 to 12 jalapeno peppers, chopped
3 - 29 oz. can(s) tomato sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare tomatoes - Place tomatoes into boiling water for 1 minute. Dip tomatoes into cold water to cool. Peel and chop.

  • 3. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • 4. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • 5. Spoon into hot sterilized jars. Wipe rims and secure lids and rings. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath.

This salsa is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I wasn't a fan of this salsa. I found it to be too bland and lacking in flavor.

This salsa is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it again with less jalapenos next time.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this salsa is the perfect level of heat for me. It's also very flavorful and delicious.

This salsa is a great way to use up extra tomatoes from the garden. I also like that it's a healthy snack option.

This salsa is so easy to make, and it tastes so fresh and delicious. I love that I can control the spice level by adjusting the amount of jalapenos I add.

I've made this salsa several times now, and it's always a hit. My friends and family love it! It's the perfect addition to any Mexican dish, or even just as a snack with tortilla chips.

This salsa is AMAZING! I love the perfect balance of flavors. It's spicy, tangy, and refreshing all at the same time. I canned a bunch of jars to enjoy all year long.
