Number Of Ingredients 9

6 medium size vine ripened tomatoes (stem removed)
2 jalapeno peppers
1 poblano pepper
1 cup green onion (diced)

2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder or sea salt

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best salsa. Roma tomatoes are a popular choice because they have a low water content and a meaty texture.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salsa the best flavor. If you can, use fresh herbs, garlic, and onions.
  • Don't over-blend the salsa: You want the salsa to have some texture, so don't over-blend it. Pulse the salsa in a food processor or blender just a few times until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Season to taste: Season the salsa with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as cumin, chili powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Let the salsa rest: Let the salsa rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Homemade salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious salsa that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or condiment, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
