If you find yourself with an abundance of tomatoes from your garden make salsa! This delicious salsa can be tweaked to suit your taste and heat tolerance. This is a canning recipe, but can also be used within a few days for a party dip (if you don't can).
Ingredients
- 6 cups tomatoes, cored and diced (Any kind - Sungold cherry tomatoes are a nice touch)
- 1 7 oz. can fire roasted diced green chilies
- 1 fresh jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed and diced small
- 1 canned chipotle, diced, plus enough of the adobo sauce to equal ¼ cup
- ¼ cup tomato paste (I used the kind from a tube)
- 2 cups diced yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic, diced
- 2 20 oz. cans crushed pineapple with juice
- 3 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. kosher salt
- 2 tbsp. cider vinegar
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare 6 wide mouth pint jars, rings and lids and the boiling water bath for canning.
- Combine all ingredients except the cilantro in a large sauce pot. Bring to a boil and simmer until desired consistency is reached, stirring frequently.
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Add the fresh cilantro and stir through.
- Carefully ladle into jars leaving ½ inch head space. Use a knife or chop stick to poke down into the jar along the edges to release air bubbles.
- Wipe rims with a damp cloth and cover with lids and rings.
- Process in the boiling water bath for 15 minutes, beginning timing from when the water returns to a full boil.
- Turn off heat and allow the jars to remain in the water for 5 minutes before carefully removing to a towel lined tray. Allow the jars to sit undisturbed overnight. Check for seals and label.
Notes
Actual cooking time can vary depending upon the consistency you want your salsa.
