List of Ingredients
1 2/3 cup vinegar
1 cup fresh cayenne peppers ; washed de-stemmed
1 large white onion ; chopped
6 medium garlic cloves
1 large carrot ; peeled chopped
1 can stewed tomatoes - 16 oz
1 can tomato puree - 16 oz
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly-ground black pepper
1 teaspoon lime juice concentrate Recipe
Puree ingredients in a blender (it will probably take several sessions, as the volume of ingredients is more than most blenders will hold).
Put ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 45 to 60 minutes to reduce salsa to a thick ketchup-like consistency.
Divide salsa into clean mason jars, but leave about 1/2-inch between top of salsa and top of jar. Put on new lids and tighten the bands, but leave them slightly loose. Set jars in a large pot of boiling water (water should be close to top of salsa). Boil for 15 to 20 minutes, remove jars, tighten bands completely and allow to cool.
This is a moderately hot recipe. You can add more peppers to make it hotter. It keeps for quite a long time on the shelf before being opened.
