How to Make New Mexican Tomato Taco Sauce For Canning

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently, stirring frequently, for 60-75 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Carefully ladle the hot sauce into sterilized pint jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
  5. Remove any air bubbles by running a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jar.
  6. Wipe the jar rims clean, ensuring no sauce residue remains.
  7. Place lids and rings on the jars, tightening fingertip-tight.
  8. Process in a boiling water canner: 15 minutes at altitudes below 1,000 feet; 20 minutes at 1,001-6,000 feet; 25 minutes above 6,000 feet.
  9. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check to ensure all jars have sealed properly.
