How to Make Salsa To Can

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large (6-8 quart) pot.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally. For a thicker salsa, allow the mixture to sit overnight and gently re-boil in the morning before canning.
  3. Prepare your jars: Wash and sterilize 8-10 half-pint jars and lids in boiling water for 10 minutes. Keep jars and lids hot until ready to use.
  4. Carefully ladle the hot salsa into the hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top.
  5. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place lids and rings on, and tighten fingertip tight.
  6. Place jars in a large canner pot with a rack. Add enough boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch.
  7. Bring the water back to a rolling boil, then process for 45 minutes (adjust according to altitude - check a canning guide for specific altitude adjustments).
  8. Turn off heat and let jars sit in the canner for 10 minutes.
  9. Carefully remove jars and let them cool completely on a towel. You should hear the satisfying *pop* as the seals form. Check seals carefully; any jars that don't seal should be refrigerated and consumed within a week.
