List of Ingredients

1 lb White Onions, chopped
6 cl Garlic, minced (Note 1)
2 lb Jalapeno peppers seeded and Finely chopped (Note 2)
5 lb Tomatoes, peeled and chopped (Note 3)
2 ts Salt
3/4 c Vinegar
1/3 c Fresh cilantro leaves (Note 4)

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 scald the tomatoes in boiling water to ease peeling.
Note 4: Reduce Cilantro to 1/4 cup if using dried leaves.


Recipe

Place the Onion, Garlic, Chilies, Tomatoes, Salt, and Vinegar in a large pot. Heat to a rolling simmer and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in Cilantro. Simmer for 5 additional minutes. Pack into clean, hot, pint or half-pint canning jars. Adjust lids and rings and seal. Allow 1/2 inch head-space. Process for 15 minutes in a simmering how-water bath. Makes 12 to 16 cups (6-8 pints).
