Ingredients
- 4 pounds tomatillos, husked, washed, and finely chopped
- 1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium)
- 3-4 jalapenos, minced (seeds removed for a milder salsa)
- 8 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
- 2 tea. sea salt
- 1/2 cup bottle lime juice
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
Preparation
Step 1
Combine the tomatillos, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add the cumin, sea salt, lime juice,m and cilantro. If you prefer a smoother salsa, you can use an immersion blender to break down some of the salsa at this time.
Cook for an additional 10 minutes. Taste the salsa and add more salt, cumin, or lime juice if necessary.
Ladle the hot salsa into the prepared jars, leaving a 1/2" headspace. Wipe the rims, apply the lids and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
When the processing time is up, remove the canning pot from the heat and remove the lid. Let the jars sit in the pot for an additional 5 minutes. This helps to prevent the salsa from reacting to the rapid temperature change and bubbling out of the jar.
