WOW! This is a very nice salsa to can. I did only use about 3/4 c of seeded jalepeno's and it was Z-E-S-T-Y! Maybe my crop is just hot. The only thing I might add is that when I shared my salsa with a veteral canner (this is the first time I have canned) she stated that I should have skinned the tomatoes by dipping the whole tomatoes in boiling water then chilled water and removing the skins. The only effect leaving them on had was I have some curled skin in my salsa but hey next time I will know to do that.....live and learn. Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe.

I would give more stars if I could. Everyone that has tried this salsa has raved about it!!!! I have removed my grandmas recipe from my box and replaced it with this one. It gets better the longer it sits. I made a few batches. The second one I added a few tablespoons of cumin as well. Either way it's GREAT!!!! Thanks soo much for this recipe!

I have made two batches of this and it is the best! I used about 7 lbs of roma tomatos, one red and one white onion, about 5 red bell peppers, cilantro paste, a variety of hot peppers (Costco sells them by the bag which makes two batches)AND added a bag of frozen corn and a can of black beans. I only simmer it a short time to keep it chunky. Makes 7 pints. Love it, love it, love it! Summer in a jar!

After making this salsa several times we've decided it gets an A+. For the hot peppers we've combined 1 1/2 c. jalapeno and hungarian for a zesty taste, but we've also gone hotter with 2 cups of jalapeno and serrano peppers and 1/2 c. of banana's. Both ways are really tasty. Also, the tomato paste seems to make it a lot thicker. (We have even used two cans when it's a runnier batch.)

This is the first time I ever canned salsa and I sure picked the BEST recipe possible. I got so many raves that I am asked constantly to make more. I added more bell peppers to it.

Super Good Salsa.. I tripled the garlic and doubled the cilantro but it would have been delicious and easy either way.. Just remind newbies to WEAR GLOVES WHILE CHOPPING HOT PEPPERS — I didn't know.. until it was way too late.. thanks for the great recipe!!!

This recipe was the best salsa recipe i have tried by far. I did however peel the tomatoes. I have tried this recipe in various strengths and it is wonderful however mild or hot you like it.This is a nice easy salsa for newbies,

Fantastic! Made this per your instructions. It made 7 pints. My husband and a neighbor ate 1 pint in about 10 minutes and came in for another. My first time making salsa and I can't wait to make another batch. Thanks for a great recipe.

Wonderful, I made a batch of this with my own garden tomatoes and peppers. I added 2 cans of rinsed black beans and half a bag of frozen extra sweet corn. The gang at work has offered to BUY jars of this fabulous stuff. Totally Perfect Salsa! Thanks SO much for sharing this recipe.

If I could give this more stars I would! I made a batch of this salsa & I had to make two more batches two weeks later because it was all gone. This recipe tops them all! Thank You.
