Preserve the taste of summer with this easy homemade canned salsa recipe. Perfect for using up your garden’s bounty of tomatoes and peppers, this recipe will guide you through creating a flavorful salsa that stays fresh long after the growing season ends.

Ingredients

  • Tomatoes (about 5 pounds)
  • Onions (2 pounds)
  • Bell Peppers (2 pounds, any color)
  • Jalapeño Peppers (4-6, adjust to spice preference)
  • Garlic (4-6 cloves)
  • Cider Vinegar (1 cup)
  • Salt (2 tablespoons)
  • Cumin (1 tablespoon)
  • Optional: Pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare your canning supplies: jars, lids, rings, and a large pot for water bath canning.
  2. Wash and chop all vegetables: tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, and garlic. You can leave the skins on the tomatoes or blanch and peel them if you prefer.
  3. Combine chopped vegetables in a large pot.
  4. Add cider vinegar, salt, cumin, and optional cayenne pepper to the pot.
  5. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. While the salsa simmers, prepare your water bath canner by filling it with water and bringing it to a boil.
  8. Carefully ladle the hot salsa into clean canning jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  9. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and place the lids and rings on.
  10. Process the jars in the boiling water bath canner for 15 minutes (adjust time for altitude if necessary).
  11. Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely on a towel-lined counter. Check seals after 12-24 hours.

Notes

  • For a smoother salsa, you can pulse the ingredients in a food processor before cooking.
  • Adjust the number of jalapeños to control the heat level.
  • Ensure your jars and lids are clean and sterilized before filling.
  • Properly sealed jars can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
