  1. Combine 2 lbs red tomatoes, 1 lb green tomatoes, 2 bell peppers (any color), 2 jalapeños, 1 habanero pepper, 5-10 Tabasco peppers (adjust to your desired heat level), 1 large onion (chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 2 tbsp tomato paste, and 1 tsp salt in a heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Finely mince all chili peppers before adding.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped cilantro and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  4. Ladle the hot salsa into sterilized 1/2-pint or 1-pint canning jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  5. Wipe the jar rims clean, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude and jar size – consult a canning guide for specifics).
