Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 272 servings 30 tomatoes, peeled and chopped 10 cups chopped onions 2 (12 ounce) cans tomato paste 2 green bell peppers, chopped 2 red bell peppers, chopped 2 cups vinegar 4 banana peppers, chopped, or more to taste ½ cup white sugar, or more to taste 10 cloves garlic, chopped 8 teaspoons pickling salt 2 teaspoons ground black pepper 17 1-pint canning jars with lids and rings Directions Combine tomatoes, onions, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, vinegar, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and ground black pepper together in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly reduced in volume, about 1 1/2 hours. 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. Cook's Note: Substitute 1 cup chopped jalapeno peppers for the banana peppers if desired. Add 1/2 bunch cilantro at the end of cooking if desired. Process jars for 45 minutes if using quart-size jars.
