that is right it is time for my annual salsa making.
I diced 15 gallons of tomatoes last night. I have 8 gallons of jalapenos, a commercial wheel barrow of chili peppers and about 200 onions left to dice. all from the garden! the only thing I had to buy was the garlic and cilantro.
Sounds good Bart and like some work too. Do you cook it and can it too?

I let it simmer while I am canning it, being hot speeds up the processing.

How many cans do you get?

I have tried once making cooking and canning and I got the taste wrong and that was about 6 jars, so I just make it cold now. I can not imagine making that much at once. How do you go about cutting all of that up?

I am curious too as to where joe is moving??

All this salsa remind me of this fella down a ways from me that sets up an awning and sells his salsa by the road side. Interesting enough, the stuff sells like hotcakes!
