• Chop Peppers and Onions with a food processor or blender. Dump in a very large mixing bowl.
• Add spices and vinegar to the mixing bowl.
• Add Lime Juice and chopped Cilantro (optional) to the mixing bowl.
• Core and chop Tomatoes with a food processor or blender. You can peel beforehand if you'd like, but I rarely peel my tomatoes for this salsa recipe.
• Strain the juice from the tomatoes before adding to the mixing bowl. I like to catch the tomato juice and can it to use in soups.
• Combine all ingredients. Taste with a torilla chip. Adjust the heat by adding more tomatoes (for milder taste) or more jalapenos (for a spicier taste).
• Fill jars with salsa. Wipe the rim clean, and top with a lid and ring.
• Process jars for 45 minutes. (adjust based on altitude)
