Salsa

This past Saturday I made Salsa again (second time ever). I used a different recipe, which was really tasty. It comes from my Aunt Julie.

Julie's Salsa
50 medium tomatoes, washed, peeled and quartered
4 large onions, chopped
4 sweet red peppers, chopped
4 large green bell peppers, chopped
8 jalepeno peppers, remove seeds for milder salsa (Julie's notes say, "I keep the seeds of 6 and remove the seeds of two")
1 medium garlic bulb, minced
2 T sugar
3/4 c apple cider vinegar
12 t salt (1/4 c)

Cook tomatoes for about 1 hour. While cooking skim off 5 cups of juice. Add onion, red peppers, green peppers, jalepeno and garlic. Cook with tomatoes for 45 minutes. Add sugar, vinegar and salt. Cook for another 30 minutes.

Put in jars and seal. Steam for about 10 minutes. Makes 12-14 pints.

I only had 25 tomatoes so I halved the recipe. "Halved" sounds so weird. I got the tomatoes, green peppers and jalepenos from my dad's garden. (For Sarah) I got the red peppers from Bountiful Baskets.
