Ingredients

• 7 cups diced, seeded, peeled, cored tomatoes (5 pounds)
• 6 green onions, sliced
• 2 jalapeno peppers, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 cup vinegar, 5% acidity
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 4 drops hot pepper sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare jars and closures according to instructions.
Combine all ingredients in a large sauce pan. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Carefully ladle hot salsa into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe jar rim clean. Place lid on jar with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and firmly just until a point of resistance is met-fingertip tight.

Process 15 minutes in a boiling water canner.
