Homemade Bottled Salsa

My granny deserves credit for this recipe.  I tweaked it to my family's liking, but the original recipe came from her.  It's wonderful!
 
Ingredients
1 bushel tomatoes (blanched and peeled)
8 cloves of garlic (minced)
6 stalks celery
4 large onions
4 bell peppers
8 jalapeno peppers
3 tsp. salt
2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup vinegar
 
Once your tomatoes are blanched and peeled, cut them into fours (or smaller) and put them in a big pot.  If you don't have a pot big enough to hold them all, cut the recipe in half. 
 
Chop the celery, onions and peppers and add them along with all the other ingredients.
 
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about an hour stirring occasionally.
 
Ladle the salsa into sterilized jars and follow the instructions on the lids you use.  Place each jar into a water bath for 15 minutes making sure all bottles are completely submerged. 
 
Take each jar out of the water bath with jar tongs and place on a towel to cool down.  If a lid doesn't seal, you can put the jar back into the water bath OR refrigerate it if you plan on consuming it within a few days.
 
Once the lid is sealed it will be shelf stable for at least two years.  Write the year on the lid with a sharpie and check the seal on occasion to make sure it's still tight. 
 
ENJOY!

  1. I'm so happy to testify of the good work of Dr Agbomina , I Suffer from Herpes virus since 2010 and i had frequent symptoms in my private area, after some time it will go away after using acyclovir drugs, then come back after some months. it was disheartening since i have been diagnosed, but after finding Dr Agbomina and his reviews i was convinced that he will definitely cure me and so i contacted and he told me how to get his medicine and using it for just 14 days and i will go and check up and first i said how can that be possible but i used his herbal medicine after making purchase and truly i used it and went for the test again, and my result came back negative. so i made it a task to share this good testimony in the internet so that those sick can benefit and get cured.
