Canning Day #3

Did I mention that I had a serious case of the canning bug? Here's some more!

Today I made and canned salsa. For a beginner canner, I probably should not have modified the recipe, but I did!! Hope it turns out! On a side note, this was a lot of work. I would definitely save it for the last day of canning. I think if I had started with this one, I might have stopped at this one.

If you're going to make this one, may I recommend using this to chop the veggies. (Thanks Camille for letting me use yours!)

If you're up to the challenge, here's another canning recipe:

Salsa

1/2 bushel tomatoes

3 green peppers

1 red pepper

3 to 4 jalapeno peppers

8 to 10 onions

1 cup white vinegar (I used lemon juice instead)

1/2 cup canning salt

3 Tbsp sugar

1 (24 oz) tomato paste

1 Tbsp oregano

3 Tbsp cumin (I didn't add this)

2 (4 oz) cans green chilies

Garlic to taste

I added cilantro because I like cilantro in my salsa.

Chop and blend first 5 ingredients. Add all ingredients and cook for 3 to 4 hours. Why so long? I think it helps to cook off some of the liquid so you get a thicker salsa.Fill pint jars and water bath for 20 minutes. Enjoy!!
