Making it for the second time this year - and so looking forward to having salsa stocked on the shelves again! Last year I made two batches - one with the chipotle chile and one with out - they were both great. I cannot decide on a favorite... Thanks so much for sharing this recipe LOVE this recipe.

There are several here, but my favorites are the "HOT PEPPER SALSA I and II" recipes on page 13. I made over 100 jars (many 1/2 pints) this year...about half will be Christmas presents.

Are the 8 cups of tomatoes measured after they are chopped? I would assume so, but as a new canner, I want to make sure it's right. Also, I looked it up, and you can use kosher salt, but make sure to use double the amount (since it is less dense, you get less salt per scoop). Thanks!

Salsa and its ingredients is also a good way to start a garden, if you have never planted one. The vegetables in salsa are easy to grow and maintain. It is a great headstart for those wanting to start growing more of their own foods. Great job on the post! Thanks! Thanks for an easy recipe.

Tomato Paste and Tomato Sauce? OMG!!! For authentic salsa (not pico de Gallo)use: 5 lbs Roma Tomatoes 1 Large White Onions 1 or 2 Tbls garlic (you can leave this out if you don't like garlic.) The peppers of your choice, I like jalapeno's or Serrano 1 bunch Cilantro The qualities are suggested and is what I start with. Roast the tomatoes over an open fire until the skin is black. You can roast the onions and peppers too, but if you roast the peppers too long, they lose their bite. Put in all into a blender or food processor and grind it until you get the consistency you want. You can leave out the cilantro and add it later chopped up instead of pureed. Add salt to taste. You shouldn't need to add tomato paste or sauce, that's blasphemous. ;) OMG!!!

It might make the salsa just a little more tart, but it would definitely be acidic enough. Personally, though, I'd just can it using the recipe as is.

I finally got to make it last night. Wow, this was great. I ended up with 7 pints of salsa, plus a little bit to eat on the spot. I had forgotten that I had canned all of my jalapenos so I had to hit the supermarket for some. I used 6 of them and it seemed just right. Same with the anaheims. I just used what I had on the plants outside. I'll be sharing some with my mom who incidentally did the canning of the jalapenos for me. Kris,

The Vegetarian With 5 Ingredients or Less category, along with the pretty pretty pictures is perfect for a lazy bachelor such as myself.
