This amazing recipe is a family favorite, shared by my sister-in-law Rosanna. Great for those summer-fresh veggies! Wear gloves to avoid 'burns' from chopping peppers! ENJOY! Fabulous to add in some fresh cilantro and oregano also!

10 pints (change servings and units)

Ingredients

14 cups chopped roma tomatoes (you can substitute 'standard' tomatoes, but they will be juicier)
3 cups onions, chopped
1/2 cup jalapeno pepper, chopped or minced
1 cup green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup tomato sauce
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
5 tablespoons Clear Jel, that will not break down in high heat during processing. don't substitute (Clear Jel is a modified food starch (powdered form)
5 garlic, buds minced (optional)

Directions

1
After all veggies are chopped, place them into a saucepan.
2
Add remaining ingredients, mixing clear jell with water before adding slowly to veggies. Bring to a boil. Cold pack for 10 minutes.
3
Yields approximately 10 pints.

First, many thanks to the submitter of this recipe. Made it yesterday with farm-fresh Better Boy tomatoes and assorted hot peppers, and it lives up to its name. A few minor alterations (no Clear Jel used, also used a combo of lemon and key lime juice instead of vinegar, some fresh cilantro added), and it rocks! It made only 8 pints rather than 10, so maybe I made it thicker or seived it longer? I look forward to making this again and again.

This salsa is a huge hit with family and friends! I made one batch, and ran out so quickly I had to make more. What a great way to put up the amazing abundance of this year's garden!

Voted the 'BEST SALSA RECIPE of 2006'. Really. Out of the two or three new recipes I tried this year and my back up recipes that I've made in the pass, this one is far the best. I peeled and seeded my tomatoes because my children are spoiled and ended up using 16 cups of tomatoes. Red wine vinegar was my choice of vinegar to use. I got 8 pints of salsa when it was all over. This was also the first time I used Clear Jel. I ordered some and it came in the mail 2 weeks ago. So I was happy I could use it in this recipe before my garden tomatoes were all gone. One thing I did learn about the Clear Jel is that you want to add it at the very end for your cooking time. As it makes it so very nice and thick and you could scorch your batch of salsa if not VERY CAREFUL! WJKing thank you so VERY much for sharing this recipe, I do believe will never use another recipe again but yours!

After trying this out, WoW, worth the time and effort to do this. We did not use the clear jel, but just boiled the Salsa for a couple of hours to thicken it up. Great taste, can't wait to make more!
