How to Make Salsa Verde Canning Recipe

  1. Prepare your canner, jars, and lids according to manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a large stainless steel saucepan, combine all ingredients.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
  4. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Carefully puree half of the salsa using an immersion blender or a regular blender in batches. For a chunkier salsa, skip this step or only partially puree.
  6. Ladle the hot salsa into sterilized, hot jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
  7. Remove air bubbles by running a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jars.
  8. Wipe jar rims clean with a damp cloth. Center lids on jars and screw on bands fingertip tight.
  9. Place jars in the canner, ensuring they are covered with at least 1 inch of water. Bring the canner to a boil, then process for 15 minutes.
  10. Turn off the heat. Let the jars sit in the canner for 5 additional minutes before removing.
  11. Carefully remove jars from the canner and let cool completely on a towel-lined surface. You should hear a popping sound as the jars seal.
  12. Check seals; if sealed, label and store in a cool, dark place. This recipe yields approximately 2 pints and 1 half-pint jar.
