Time 1h30m

Yield 17

Number Of Ingredients 13

30 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
10 cups chopped onions
2 cups vinegar
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
4 banana peppers, chopped
½ cup white sugar, or more to taste
10 cloves garlic, chopped
8 teaspoons pickling salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
17 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, onions, vinegar, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix cilantro into salsa.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack salsa into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 35 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

EASY HOMEMADE SALSA FOR CANNING



Easy Homemade Salsa for Canning image

This is a nice recipe to use if you are new to canning. I received this recipe at my bridal shower. I've tried lots of salsa recipes and this one is the one I always return to. I also like the fact that it uses basic ingredients... nothing too hard-to-find. You can use your favorite canning method for this. Following the instructions on the box of jars is always a good place to start. It looks like a lot of instructions below, but it really isnt- I just want to make it as easy as possible for a beginner.

Provided by Munchkin Mama

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 Quarts

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 quarts tomatoes, thickly chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup banana pepper, seeded and chopped (or you can double the green peppers, or use any other kind of sweet pepper)
1 cup jalapeno pepper, chopped (use 2 cups for hot)
1 cup vinegar
3 tablespoons canning salt (I use Morton brand canning and pickling salt)
1/4 cup sugar (use up to 1/2 cup if you like very sweet salsa)
2 tablespoons dried oregano
8 tablespoons cornstarch
8 tablespoons warm water

Steps:

  • A note about peppers: Remember to use caution and always use gloves while handling. I always remove the seeds from mine before chopping but if you like hotter salsa feel free to leave them inches.
  • A note about tomatoes: you do not have to peel them, but most people prefer doing so. To quickly and easily peel them: give them a quick rinse to wash them off. Then drop them into a pot of boiling water for about a minute or until you see them crack and peeling. Remove with a slotted spoon into a large bowl of very cold ice water. Now you can easily remove the peel and the core. I usually put the chopped tomatoes into my 2 quart pitcher to measure the tomatoes.
  • To make salsa: Put all ingredients EXCEPT cornstarch and water into a large stock pot. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil over low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Mix together the cornstarch and warm water in a small bowl. Make sure the mixture is very smooth- you dont want any corn starch chunks in your salsa.
  • Add the corn starch liquid to the big pot of salsa, stirring while pouring.
  • Boil on low for 10 minutes, watching carefully so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
  • Pour into prepared canning jars, leaving about 1" for head space. Seal according to your favorite method.

SALSA PICANTE FOR HOME CANNING



Salsa Picante for Home Canning image

This is from the New Mexico Department of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service via http://www.fiery-foods.com/dave/canning.asp. This site has a wonderful explanation for how to & why of water bath processing. Per this site, this recipe was designed for hot water processing (suggesting the acidity is high enough to be safe). Do not alter the ratios unless it is to increase vinegar as adding more low acid vegies like peppers, onions, cilantro, garlic could result in an unsafe product (think botulism). This is the case for any home canning - so don't be put off. Oh, this salsa is rated "Medium-Hot" on that site so we will know soon!

JUDI'S TEXAS PICANTE SAUCE (CANNING RECIPE OR NOT!)



Judi's Texas Picante Sauce (Canning Recipe or Not!) image

This is a recipe I've developed for my family that is pretty similar (but not quite the same) to the most popular picante sauce on the grocery store shelves here in Texas. We had an abundance of tomatoes and onions from our garden this year and I put up 31 quarts of this stuff, which won't last long because everyone in my family begs me for jars of this spicy, delicious sauce. We eat it virtually everyday at my house, and my uncle likes it so well he eats it out of the jar with a spoon! It's not overly hot, as my 75-year-old mother eats it and it doesn't bother her at all. It has just enough bite, but doesn't bite you back. This recipe is developed for canning, and weighing the main ingredients will give you the same product each time you make it. If you skip the cook time you will have a fresh-tasting salsa that is also great to eat. You can, of course, eat it once it has cooked for the 15 minutes or you can can it to put up. It's great either way, but each tastes different. This is a little work, but well worth the effort and puts all those wonderful tomatoes to use. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h45m

Yield 5 pints

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs ripe peeled, cored, seeded tomatoes (reserve juice from the seeding)
1 lb onion, roughly cut into large pieces (makes processing easier)
1/2 lb jalapeno (stems removed, cut lengthwise, leave seeds and membrane)
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried cilantro
6 ounces tomato paste (regular can, thickens the tomato juice and adds some extra flavor)

Steps:

  • Starting with just the tomatoes place half the tomatoes and juice in food processor and process until a fairly small texture, but not pureed. Repeat with second half. Then process all the onions and the jalapenos in a single batch. I do all of this with an electric food grinder instead of a food processor and I use the 1/8-inch plate to get the correct ground texture and size, but a food processor will give you the same results.
  • Combine processed tomatoes, onions and jalapenos in a 4-quart pot with the remaining ingredients. Adjust the salt and seasonings to your taste.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes Remove from heat and fill 5 clean pint canning jars or 2 quart and 1 pint jar with the heated sauce. Wipe the rims and seal with lids and rings. Boil in a water bath, with 1 inch of water covering the lids, for 45 minutes. Carefully remove the processed jars from the water bath and place on a clean towel and cool jars for at least 12 hours. Label, date and store in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
