How to Make Chunky Tomato Salsa
- Roughly chop 10 lbs ripe tomatoes, 2 large onions, 2 green bell peppers, 2 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat), and 1 large bunch of cilantro.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, and cilantro. Add 2 cups of white vinegar, 1 cup of lime juice, 1 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of salt, and 1 tablespoon of black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, for 60 minutes, or until the salsa has thickened to your desired consistency.
- For canning (optional): Ladle the hot salsa into sterilized canning jars, leaving ½ inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids and rings on the jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes (adjust processing time based on altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
- For freezing (optional): Allow the salsa to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers. Freeze for up to one month.
