Combine everything in a large pot, mixing well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
To continue canning, bring salsa to a boil.
Ladle salsa into hot sterile jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Wipe lids and jar edges clean before finger tightening lids and placing them back in the boiling canning pot.
