THICK & CHUNKY SALSA

Steps:

• 1. The large can and small can of diced tomatoes make a full 12 cups of tomatoes, and with the rest of the ingredients this amount evenly fills the canning jars. You don't have to use the small can. In large 6-8 qt stockpot bring all ingredients to a boil.
• 2. Lower heat and simmer 3-4 hours or until desired thickness is reached, stirring often. Taste for seasonings and adjust as needed.
• 3. Ladle salsa into pint or quart jars then process in a water bath for 45 minutes. Serve with Tortilla chips or white corn Scoops.
• 4. NOTE: I'm not a fan of cilantro so I use parsley instead. This year I added about 1 tablespoon of dried cilantro and I can taste it in the huge batch this makes. For my taste this is good, I wouldn't put more. If you like cilantro then use it! You can also put 1/2 parsley and 1/2 cilantro, so make it according to your taste.
