Spicy Chunky Salsa
* 6 pounds tomatoes

* 2 cups white vinegar
* 1 large sweet red pepper, chopped
* 1 can (12 ounces) tomato paste
* 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

* 3 garlic cloves, minced
* 4 teaspoons ground cumin

Recipe
* In a large saucepan, bring 8 cups water to a boil. Using a slotted spoon, place tomatoes, a few at a time, in boiling water for 30-60 seconds. Remove each tomato and immediately plunge in ice water. Drain and pat dry. Peel and finely chop tomatoes to measure 9 cups.
* In a stock pot, combine the tomatoes and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until slightly thickened.
* Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot 1-pint jars, leaving 1/2-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles; wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
Yield: 8 pints.
