How to Make Salsa For A Crowd

  1. Roughly chop the tomatoes, onion, and peppers.
  2. Combine the chopped tomatoes (10 lbs), onion (2 large, chopped), bell peppers (3 medium, chopped), jalapeno (2-3, seeded and minced, adjust to taste), cilantro (1 large bunch, chopped), garlic (6 cloves, minced), lime juice (1 cup), cumin (2 tablespoons), oregano (1 tablespoon), salt (2 tablespoons), and black pepper (1 tablespoon) in a large kettle or stockpot.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch (2 tablespoons) with 1/4 cup of cold water to form a smooth slurry.
  5. Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering salsa. Continue to stir constantly for 2-3 minutes, or until the salsa has thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely before packing into sterilized pint jars for canning (follow proper canning procedures), refrigerating (up to a week), or freezing.
