Canning Salsa

RE: Canning Salsa Post By Linda (Guest Post) (08/23/2005) I agree that Mrs. Wages is surprisingly good and so easy. I suggest you give it a try! RE: Canning Salsa Post By Lori (Guest Post) (08/14/2005) I needed something quick also, so I tried the Mrs. Wages salsa mix from Walmart. To my surprise it turned out very good. It says to scald tomatoes for 3 minutes, but I found this to be too long. Just boil tomatoes until the skin splits so that it will come off easy. I have made 3 batches so far. One pkg. makes about five pints. RE: Canning Salsa Post by ettamae (3) | (08/13/2005) Contact This is my favorite salsa recipe, I've used for the last 15 years. 8-10 ripe tomatoes (I have used 2 qts of my home canned tomatoes.) 2 large onions, chopped 3 green or red bell peppers chopped 2 cans diced green chili peppers 5 jalapenos,seeded or not. You can make salsa as mild or as hot as you like. 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1-6oz can tomato paste 2 cloves crushed crushed garlic 2 tsps ground chili powder 2 tsps sugar or artificial sweetener 1 tbsp salt 2 tbsps chopped fresh cilantro Combine all ingredients in a large non- aluminum pot,bring to a boil, stirring often. turn heat down and simmer for 30 minutes. Pour into hot sterilized jars. Process in water bath 20 minutes. Makes about 5 pints. If you use this recipe, I hope you like it as much as I do. Ettamae
