Cooking Instructions

In a food processor: I chopped 1 lge. can tomatoes, onion, green peppers, and *jalapenos to a coarse consistency.

I add this to a large 6-qt. pot and start heating.

Meanwhile, I process the other lge. can tomatoes, chopped green chilis, and all the spices to a coarse consistency and add to the pot. Since I add more chopped *jalapenos I also add the extra (14 oz.) can diced tomatoes, and about 1/3 c. of the *jalapeno liquid (from the jar).

With all the tomatoes, spices, and peppers I let the pot simmer for 45 min. After it cools, you will have approximately 72 oz. of salsa. I freeze 2 (24 oz) jars and have the 3rd (24 oz) to put on my freshly-made tacos!

Recipe Notes

*Jalapenos- I buy a large jar of sliced jalapenos (because of ease, not having to handle the hot ones!) in a liquid. This recipe makes about 3 times as much as you would buy in a 24 oz. jar at about 1/3 the cost. It tastes as good as the expensive kind
