How to Make Delicious Tomato Salsa Recipe For Canning

  1. Wash 5 lbs ripe tomatoes and dip them in boiling water for 30-60 seconds, or until skins split.
  2. Immediately transfer tomatoes to an ice bath. Once cool, slip off skins and remove cores.
  3. Chop the following ingredients and place them in a large saucepan: 5 lbs tomatoes, 2 large onions (chopped), 2 green bell peppers (seeded and chopped), 4 jalapeños (seeded and minced - wear gloves!), 1 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 cup chopped oregano.
  4. Stir in: 2 cups white vinegar, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2 tablespoons salt.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon ClearJel with 1/4 cup cold water until smooth to prevent clumping.
  6. Slowly whisk the ClearJel mixture into the chopped vegetables in the saucepan.
  7. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, to thicken.
  8. Carefully ladle the hot salsa into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace at the top.
  9. Wipe jar rims clean, place lids on jars, and screw on bands fingertip tight.
  10. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
  11. Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
