Canning method
- For this salsa recipe prepare jars and lids according to manufacturer's instructions for sterilized jars. Keep jars hot. Preparing Peppers: The jalapeño peppers and Italian hot peppers do not need to be peeled.
- Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and heat, stirring frequently, until mixture boils. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ladle hot into clean, hot jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
- Remove air bubbles, adjust headspace if needed, and wipe rims with a dampened clean paper towel. Adjust lids and process 15 minutes using a boiling water bath method. At altitudes of 1000 feet or higher, increase processing time 1 minute for each 1000 feet of altitude.
- Remove canner from heat, remove lid and let jars sit 5 minutes in canner. Remove jars from canner, set on a clean towel or rack to cool. When cool, check seals. Lids should be down in the center or stay down when pressed. Remove rims, label, date and store in a cool, dark, dry place.
- Unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within 3 weeks.
- Processing: As published by Mrs. Wages: "process 15 minutes" (boiling water bath canner) - 15 minutes.
