I bought a case of tomatoes last week at the farmer's market in Glen Burnie. So, I've been busy canning them and putting them to good use before they go bad. I made 12 jars of chunky salsa yesterday. Here's my recipe, it's delicious. I have been using this recipe for years and my family loves it. We eat more salsa in our house than ketchup.
8 cups chopped, peeled tomatoes
4 cups chopped, seeded cubanelle or anaheim or sweet banana peppers
2 cups chopped onions
2 cups cider vinegar
1 cup chopped, seeded sweet red peppers
1 cup chopped, seeded jalapeno peppers (fresh, not bottled)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 5 1/2 oz can tomato paste
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
2 tsp paprika (use hot Hungarian Paprika)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
In a large, heavy saucepan, bring to a boil the tomatoes, peppers, onions, vinegar, red peppers, jalapeno peppers, garlic, tomato paste, sugar, salt, paprika and oregano, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer mixture for about an hour or until thick enough to coat a spoon. Stir in cilantro and simmer for 5 minutes longer.
Fill and seal jars. Process in boiling water bath for 20 minutes. Makes about 9 cups.
Note: you can adjust the heat but increasing jalapenos and decreasing cubanelle or decreasing jalapenos and use fewer cubanelle. Be sure to wear rubber gloves when handling hot peppers. A friend of mine didn't wear rubber gloves and ended up going to the ER for 1st degree burns on her hands.
ENJOY!!
