Salsa recipe

Again, this recipe came from Recipezaar (#9272).  I’ve change a couple of things to our taste, and I’ll indicate where…

WONDERFUL SALSA

Makes about 3 quarts or 6 pints

8 cups tomatoes,peeled, chopped and drained (I drain the juice into ½ pints

                                                and seal later for our own V-8 type juice)

2 ½ C Onions, chopped

1 ½ C Green peppers, chopped

1 C Jalapeno peppers, chopped (I omit entirely as we don’t like hot)

6 cloves garlic (I use more like 8 cloves), minced

2 tsp. Cumin (makes it hot so I only use about ½ tsp.)

2 tsp. Pepper

1/8 C canning Salt

1/3 C Sugar

1/3 C White Vinegar

1 (15 oz) can Tomato Sauce

1 (12 oz) can Tomato Paste

¼ - ½ C chopped Cilantro (optional but I highly recommend). Can also use atleast ½ tsp. dried Cilantro.

Mix all together and bring to a slow boil for 10 min.

Seal in jars and cook in hot water bath for 10 min.

The cumin in this makes it hot, so when I want a milder salsa I just omit the cumin.

Thanks!~
