Garden to Table Canned Salsa

We have Salsa on our table most of the time, it is really a staple in most Texas homes.  Of course Salsa is one of those personal taste foods of spicy flavors.  We have family members who want to feel the burn for a week and those who want to keep it mild, I try to get the recipe somewhere in the middle of all of that.

30 to 35 medium size ripe tomatoes peeled and chopped
2 large green bell peppers, fine chop
2 large red bell peppers,fine chop

2 cups vinegar
8 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper

Directions
Drop washed tomatoes into boiling water for 1 minute, remove and drop into ice cold water and skin the tomatoes, the skin should come right off if your hot water was boiling for 1 minute and the cold water has ice cubes in it
Cut the tomatoes over a very larger bowl to preserve all the wonderful juice
In a food processor chop the bell peppers, jalapenos, garlic, and onions
Pour the tomatoes and all the chopped peppers, jalapenos, garlic and onions in a very large stock pot
Add cumin, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper to the tomato mixture and mix well
Add the tomato paste and mix well
Slowly bring the mix to a rolling boil stirring so the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, cook for 1 hour
Pack the Salsa mixture into hot sterile jars and seal the jars with clean lids and screw tops
Place the jars in a hot water bath canning pan, cover the jars with hot water
Bring the hot water bath to a rolling boil cover and continue to boil for 20 minutes
Turn off the heat and let the hot water return to room temperature then remove the jars to a storage area where the jars can sit undisturbed for at least 24 hours. 
Allow to sit for 2 weeks before opening

    What a wonderful recipe Miz Helen. I find that idea of salsa at the table like butter so interesting. Do you just put it on whatever your eating? Do you spread it on bread?

    I appreciate your post sharing not only your recipe but how you store your salsa too. For years I have hesitated to can any of our harvest opting for other methods, but I need to learn and trust the age old canning method since we've increased our garden size this year. Thanks for sharing your recipe and knowledge, D@TheShadyPorch P.S- Awesome onions! I pinned to my Camping, Canning & Survival board.

    It is so interesting that salsa is a staple where you live. It is relatively new to my area. We started having more as we've gotten more Mexicans in the area working on the horse farms around here. I'll so glad for their spicier food influence.
