Fixins for salsa from my garden and the garden of friends!!

Hot bath to remove the skins

Removing the skins and chopping up the tomatos

Add a couple hours of simmering on the stove top.

So the recipe I am sort of following was given to me by who knows who??!! I don't remember and they didn't write their name down on the recipe card. Oh well!! Here it is:

Salsa

 7 1/2 quarts tomatos-skinned
1 1/2 T dried mustard
1 T salt
1 T pepper
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp seasoning salt
3 cloves garlin-minced
1/2 tsp sage
3 green bell peppers
2 red bell peppers
1/4 bunch celery
3 large onions
1 1/2 cup white vinegar
4 jalapeno peppers
5 hungarian waxed peppers
fresh cilantro-about 1/2 cup chopped

Cook tomatoes for two hours. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 1/2 to 1 hour. Pour into prepared jars and can as directed by canning cook book.

 My house smells really good right now!!!

 Hopefully I will get the canning part done tomorrow night!! I am now running out of time tonight and working tomorrow.

Happy gardening and canning!!! Enjoy the day :^) Martha
