Then, this winter, enjoy this salsa, I think you’ll like it! You may find yourself planning to make even more jars next year.

This homemade salsa recipe makes 5 pint jars of salsa. Jars of home-canning ready for the pantry. You can just put a towel over the jars if you need to keep them from a draft. Don’t move them and keep the jars out of drafts.

Remove from the canner and let jars sit for 24 hours.

Check your elevation it makes a difference. We can for 25 minutes, because we are above 1000 ft elevation. Boil in a boiling water bath 20 minutes for pints.

Ladle into clean sterilized jars and wipe the rim.

Bring to a boil and boil gently, stirring occasionally, until it has the desired consistency.

Combine all ingredients in a large stainless steel saucepan and put on the stove on medium heat.

Remove the seeds from peppers (Hah! that’s no fun – we throw some seeds in the pot too for an extra kick.).

Coarsely chop all the veggies (I actually dice them quite small.).

ground cumin – adds a bit of heat and warm flavor!.

chopped cilantro – a classic herb found in salsa, cilantro helps to marry all of the other flavors and bring them out more strongly.

white vinegar – gives the salsa a nice bite and acidity.

tomato paste – aids in bringing out the delicious tomato flavors.

If you want more heat, you might try chilies or serrano peppers.

jalapeno peppers – provides some real heat and spiciness to the salsa, but these can be omitted if you prefer something milder.

chopped bell pepper – I used green to give this salsa a pop of extra color, but any kind of bell pepper will work just fine!.

chopped onions – another commonly found ingredient in salsa.

c hopped tomatoes – form the base of this delicious homemade salsa recipe.
