Instructions
- Coarsely chop the 1st 5 ingredients by hand or in a Food Processor.
- Add above and all remaining ingredients to a heavy bottom Dutch Oven or pot and stir together until well combined.
- Bring mixture up to a boil that can't be stirred down (takes @ 1 hour).
- Continue cooking additional 15 minutes, 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
Like a milder salsa? Leave out some or all of the Jalapeno Peppers or cut the membranes/seeds out of some of the Jalapenos.
