How to Make Fresh Homemade Salsa For Canning
- Wash all jars and lids thoroughly in the dishwasher.
- Wear gloves while preparing the salsa to protect your hands.
- Prepare tomatoes: Blanch tomatoes in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to loosen skins. Remove and immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Peel and chop tomatoes. Drain excess juices in a colander.
- Dice 1 large onion and add to a large bowl.
- Dice 2-3 jalapeños (or other peppers to your desired heat level), removing seeds for less heat, and add to the bowl.
- Add 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl.
- Add chopped tomatoes (approximately 4-5 pounds, depending on desired consistency).
- Stir in 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more peppers for extra heat, tasting after each addition. Note that the salsa will become slightly hotter as it sits.
- Bring all ingredients to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Fill sterilized jars, leaving about 3/4 inch of headspace at the top.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean.
- Place lids and rings on jars, tightening rings fingertip tight.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
- Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.
- After cooling, press down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, it's sealed. If it flexes, refrigerate and consume within a few days.
