Canned Salsa

This is a recipe I requested from my good friend Julie. I am going to make some this summer because with the weather the way it has been for the last 2 years I will never get enough tomatoes from our garden to make salsa. I figure why not make it easy with tomatoes already processed. Thanks Julie!



1 #10 can diced tomatoes


1/2 #10 can crushed tomatoes


1/8 #10 can tomato paste


2 onions, diced


2-4 cans green chilies


2 green peppers-diced


3 heaping tbsp minced garlic


1 bunch cilantro-chopped


jalapenos to taste (I usually use 3-4 per batch) minced


1/4 c lemon juice or vinegar


1 tbsp pepper


1 1/2 tbsp sea salt


1 1/2 tsp cumin


To spread the jalapeno around, I usually take about 1 cup of crushed tomatoes and the jalapenos and blend them all together in the blender, then pour into the rest of the salsa. That way no one gets a big chunk of jalapeno in their bite of salsa


Bottle in pints or quarts, process for 20 minutes.
