Homemade Spicy Tomato Salsa - Water Bath Canning Recipe

Spicy Tomato Salsa is great with Tortilla Chips, used as a Condiment/Topping or for adding some fresh spicy flavors to Recipes!

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Water Bath Canning Processing Time 15 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

6 Cups Tomatoes (Peeled, Seeded & Diced)
10 Jalapeno Peppers (Diced) - adjust to desired spice level
3 Cups Onion (Diced)
1 1/2 Cups Parsley (Chopped)
7 tsp Garlic (Minced)
1 Tbl Canning Salt
1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
3/4 Cup Red Wine Vinegar (5% Acidity)

Instructions

Dice the 1st 3 ingredients by hand or in a Food Processor / Stand Mixer Dicer Attachment.
Add above and all remaining ingredients to a heavy bottom Dutch Oven or pot and stir together until well combined. (*see Notes below)
Bring mixture up to a boil that can't be stirred down (takes @ 45 in - 1 hour).
Continue to simmer additional 10 minutes to slightly thicken, stirring frequently to prevent sticking/scorching.
Then add the salsa mixture to warmed jars, leaving a 1/2" headspace.
Wipe rims of jars and place lid/ring on each jar, finger tightening the ring.
Place jars into water bath canner for processing, making sure water covers the jars by an inch or two. The minimum processing time is 15 min; add time as necessary based on your altitude.
Once processing is complete, let the jars sit in the water bath canner for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a towel/dish drying mat for 12-24 hours for cooling and sealing. Listen for the pings as they seal!
After 12-24 hours, you can remove the rings, making sure the jars all sealed, label jars and place in a cool, dry place for storage. 50-70 degrees is optimal.
If any jars did not seal, place them in the refrigerator for enjoying now!

Notes

Making a large batch of Homemade Spicy Tomato Salsa? A Nesco Roasting Oven works well for large batches of salsa and is shown in the Recipe Video on YouTube (see Link to Video in post)
Like a milder salsa? Leave out some or all of the Jalapeno Peppers or cut the membranes/seeds out of some of the Jalapenos.
