Finely chopped (Note 2)
5 pounds Tomatoes, peeled and chopped
(Note 3)
2 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Note 1: I like more garlic in mine so I increase garlic to 10 cloves.

Note 2: For hotter salsa, leave the seeds in. Reminder: when working : with jalapeno's wear gloves, that is unless your skin is made

: of asbestos. Note 3: Quickly immerse the tomatoes in boiling water to ease peeling. Note 4: Reduce Cilantro to ¼ cup if using dried leaves.

Pack into clean, hot, pint or half-pint canning jars. Adjust lids and rings and seal. Allow ½ inch head-space. Process for 15 minutes in a simmering how-water bath.
