18 Tomatoes Peeled, Seeded, And Chopped Into Bite Sized Pieces
3 Large Onions, Chopped
1 Green Pepper, Chopped
1 can (6 Oz. Size) Tomato Paste
1 can (4 Oz. Size) Diced Jalapeno Peppers
1 can (4 Oz. Size) Diced Green Chilies
1/2 cups White Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Canning Salt
1 Tablespoon Dried Cilantro
1 Tablespoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Minced Garlic

1
In a very large stockpot, combine all of the ingredients. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, stirring frequently.
2
If tomatoes give off a lot of juice and you want a thicker salsa, dissolve 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch in a small amount of water. Add cornstarch slurry to the salsa in the last 15-20 minutes of cooking. Salsa should thicken slightly.
3
Prepare canner, jars, and lids according to manufacturer's instructions. Carefully ladle hot salsa into the heated jars, using a funnel and leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Center lids on jars. Apply and tighten bands.
4
Process in boiling water canner for 35 minutes, adjusting for altitude. (Increase processing time: 5 minutes for 1,001 to 3,00 ft; 10 minutes for 3,001 to 6,000 ft; 15 minutes for 6,001 to 8,000 ft; 20 minutes for 8,001 to 10,000 ft.)
