How to Make Jalapeno Salsa

  1. Finely chop 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, 1 large onion, 2 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat), 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup chopped garlic.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, cilantro, garlic, 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup lime juice, 1 tablespoon salt, and 2 teaspoons cumin.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. While the salsa simmers, prepare your jars: thoroughly wash and sterilize half-pint canning jars and lids.
  6. Carefully ladle the hot salsa into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace at the top of each jar.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place the lids and rings on tightly, and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Ensure the jars are fully submerged in boiling water during processing.
  8. Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check to make sure all jars have sealed properly.
