KIM'S FANTASTIC SALSA


This is a great medium salsa!!
7 Quarts peeled, cored, chopped tomatoes
4 c. Seeded, chopped long chiles (I used anaheim peppers and canned chiles)
5 c. Chopped onions
1/2 c. Seeded, diced jalapeno
2 c. Bottled lemon juice
2 TBSP. Salt
1 TBSP. Pepper
2 TBSP. Cumin
3 TBSP. Oregano
2 TBSP. Cilantro (Kim uses more and so did I)

Add everything in a big stock pot and bring to boil for 5-10 min. Put in jars, seal and process for 35 min. (I used a steam canner for this)
Tip** If you need to peel a lot of tomatoes like this recipe calls for boil some water on the stove, fill your sink up with cold water. Put about 5-6 tomatoes in and leave them for 45 seconds. Take them immediately to the cold water spoon them in. Put the boiling water back on the stove for your next batch. The skin will literally fall off. This works for peaches as well. I will confess that I did NOT chop all of the ingredients I used my food processor for everything but the tomatoes.
Thanks KIM!!
