EASY HOMEMADE SALSA FOR CANNING
This is a nice recipe to use if you are new to canning. I received this recipe at my bridal shower. I've tried lots of salsa recipes and this one is the one I always return to. I also like the fact that it uses basic ingredients... nothing too hard-to-find. You can use your favorite canning method for this. Following the instructions on the box of jars is always a good place to start. It looks like a lot of instructions below, but it really isnt- I just want to make it as easy as possible for a beginner.

Steps:
- A note about peppers: Remember to use caution and always use gloves while handling. I always remove the seeds from mine before chopping but if you like hotter salsa feel free to leave them inches.
- A note about tomatoes: you do not have to peel them, but most people prefer doing so. To quickly and easily peel them: give them a quick rinse to wash them off. Then drop them into a pot of boiling water for about a minute or until you see them crack and peeling. Remove with a slotted spoon into a large bowl of very cold ice water. Now you can easily remove the peel and the core. I usually put the chopped tomatoes into my 2 quart pitcher to measure the tomatoes.
- To make salsa: Put all ingredients EXCEPT cornstarch and water into a large stock pot. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Mix together the cornstarch and warm water in a small bowl. Make sure the mixture is very smooth- you dont want any corn starch chunks in your salsa.
- Add the corn starch liquid to the big pot of salsa, stirring while pouring.
- Boil on low for 10 minutes, watching carefully so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
- Pour into prepared canning jars, leaving about 1" for head space. Seal according to your favorite method.

Steps:
- Combine tomatoes, onions, vinegar, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix cilantro into salsa.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack salsa into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 35 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

- Process in a water bath for 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Select the Right Tomatoes: Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best salsa. Roma tomatoes are a popular choice due to their meaty texture and low water content.
- Roast or Grill the Tomatoes: Roasting or grilling the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and adds a smoky depth to the salsa. This step is optional but highly recommended.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients make all the difference in salsa. Use freshly chopped onions, cilantro, and jalapeños for the best taste.
- Adjust the Heat Level: The spiciness of the salsa can be adjusted by adding more or less jalapeños. Remove the seeds and ribs of the jalapeños for a milder salsa.
- Chill Before Serving: Allow the salsa to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
