Simple Amazing Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, onions, vinegar, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix cilantro into salsa.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack salsa into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 35 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• Clean chilies with a damp cloth, then pull of the stems and remove the seeds and veins "I keep the seeds for the chili arbol because I like it hotter".
• Place peppers in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Roast in 350°F oven for 2 to 5 minutes or until you smell a sweet roasted aroma, checking often to avoid burning.
• Remove from oven and soak in the boiling water for about 30 minutes or until cool "I like to break up the chilies before I soak them".
• Put peppers and 2 cups of the soaking water into a blender "Add more if the sauce is too thick, it will thicken slightly after simmered".
• Add 10 peeled tomatoes, 1/2 onion, garlic, salt, vinegar, lime juice, sherry and brown sugar "If you do not know how to peel tomatoes check out this instructional video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmLR5ayrJzU".
• Blend until smooth "Can be done in batches if the blender is too small".
• Pour the mixture in a medium saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Dice up the remaining vegetables into cubes and add to the sauce.
• Chill over night.
• Enjoy.
