There is absolutely nothing better than fresh salsa!

Ingredients

Instructions

Sterilize jars and lids

  • To sterilize the jars and lids, drop them in boiling water  (for at least 5 minutes).

Salsa

  • Combine all ingredients and simmer until thick.  This will take about 3 hours.
    1 red onion, 1 white onion, 1 yellow onion, 6 pounds fresh tomatoes, 4 banana peppers, 2 Heatless Jalapeño Peppers, 3 sweet peppers, 3 cans tomato paste, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar
  • Spoon the salsa into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove air bubbles.
  • Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with the lids and screw-on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and lower the jars into the pot. You should leave a 2-inch space between the jars.
  • Pour in more boiling water until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and wait 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface until cool. Once they have cooled off, press the top of each lid with a finger to make sure that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). 
  • Refrigerate after opening.

  1. Homemade Salsa is always so good, especially when you use freshly picked ingredients from the garden. I love the idea of canning this salsa to have on hand during the winter months.

  2. We love salsa in this house! The recipe I have makes enough for a army so I think I need to try this one because it’s a size that we can actually eat without overdoing it.

  3. This looks like a great salsa, perfect for your favorite chips! I once made some salsa with jalopenños and woooooo, it lights you up but it was so good! Homegrown and homemade salsa are the best!

  4. Now that I have tons of tomatoes at the end of the summer, I am looking into canning my own salsa to use throughout the year. Can’t wait to test your recipe to see if it is a hit with my family!
