Judy's salsa for canning

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
5 pounds Tomatoes
1 cup Diced peppers (any combination of long green (even canned), bell, and hot, such as Jalapeno
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1 Onion, chopped
1 teaspoon Sugar
½ cup Bottled lemon juice

Directions

Wash 6 pint jars and lids. Keep warm in hot water or in 200 degree oven.

(Sterilize if you choose not to use hot water bath, but which is recommended for safety)

Wash or sterilize ladle, funnel and spoon.

Peel, seed, and chop tomatoes. (I use a food processor.) Drain most of liquid. Combine all ingredients and simmer 20 minutes.

In each jar, put ¼ to ½ tsp. salt, depending on your taste. Ladle in hot salsa, using a slotted spoon if it is too juicy. (Save juice for another recipe.)

Important: Wipe top of jar with dish towel or paper towel. One little tomato seed can kee it from sealing! Place lids and bands on jars. Place in boiling water bath canner for 15 minutes.
