Made with red and green tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeños, habanero, Tabasco chiles from the garden. Keeping the Hot and Spicy summer with you throughout the winter. I posted the recipe so you can adjust the pepper to the heat and variety you enjoy! This is HOT! Any of the hot chili's you use be sure to mince them fine! This can be made in 1 pint jars making 7 of them. I go for 1/2 pint because for gifts they go farther.

3 tablespoons dried parsley

very yumie!!! My family and I love this salsa. My mother in law also likes it also due to the fact that her home grown tomatos don't go to wast. The secound batch I made I put a little more lime juice in it that made it really good I think that it gave it more of a summer tast to it. It will be a recipe that get used alot!

The chef was kind enough to give me a jar of this when we met for the second time on Christmas Eve. I've never tried canning myself. I personally don't like a tabasco taste on my corn chips but on a cheese burrito I prepared, this was top rate! Thanks Rita!

Great salsa recipe; only filled 6 pints and put the extra in the refrigerator and tasted a few hours later; can tell it's going to blend together and have a nice balanced flavor; used quite a few green tomatoes to make up the 5 lbs and still think it's going to be great.
