3 quarts peeled cored chopped tomatoes
2 cups seeded chopped long green chilies
2 ½ cups chopped onions
¼ cup finely chopped seeded jalapeno
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
1 cup bottled lemon juice
3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon canning salt
½ tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin

1
Combine all ingredients except cumin and cilantro in a large pot and bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
2
Add spices and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Ladle into hot pint jars (yield 7+ pints), leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
4
Adjust lids and process in a boiling water canner: 15 minutes at 0-1,000 ft altitude; 20 minutes at 1001-6000 ft, 25 minutes above 6,000 ft.
5
NOW FOR THE ALTERATIONS I MAKE: IF YOU LIKE YOUR SALSA REALLY HOT, CONSIDER USING ONE HABANERO PER JAR (that would be 7).
6
This is my husband's solution when something is not hot enough!
7
This recipe works best with paste tomatoes.
8
Slicing tomatoes require a much longer cooking time to achieve a desirable consistency.
9
However, you can mix paste tomatoes (Romas) with slicing tomatoes.
10
The recipe does call for oregano (1-1/2 T), but I prefer not to use it.
11
Canning is so rewarding -- .
