Mild Tomato Salsa image

I got this salsa recipe from my sister, and my children and I have been making batches of it ever since. We pair pint jars with packages of tortilla chips for zesty Christmas gifts. When the kids give this present to their teachers, they can truthfully say they helped make it. -Pamela Lundstrum, Bird Island, Minnesota
