Tomato Salsa

I have tried several different recipes for salsa and this is the one my family and friends like the best. I have given it to a lot of people who all loved it!

Step: 1

In a six-quart pot of boiling water, blanch tomatoes, drain and cool under cold water. Peel and coarsely chop. Return chopped tomatoes to pot, bring to boil and reduce heat. Skim juice from top of tomatoes and reserve, if you’d like, for another use. Do not overcook and allow tomatoes to remain chunky.

Step: 2

In two quarts of boiling salted water, add chopped bell peppers, celery, jalapenos, garlic, green chilies and cook until all ingredients are tender. Drain and add vegetables to tomatoes.

Step: 3

Add salt, oregano, black pepper and cilantro. Simmer gently for 15 minutes.

Step: 4

Hot pack the salsa in clean pint jars. Follow manufactures suggestions on preparing the lids and jars for proper sealing.
