I have said it before, I am on a mission to create a completely homemade pantry and this Mild Tomato Salsa definitely made it to my list.
With so many complementary flavors of tomatoes, green and sweet red peppers, onions, celery, tons of garlic, jalapeño chili, seasonings and hot pepper sauce, this recipe gives you the option to make your salsa as spicy as you wish! Enjoy yours inside of a hot dog or with cheesy nachos, it works with everything!
To make Mild Tomato Salsa, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large stockpot over medium heat, cook the tomatoes, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Once cooked, drain out the tomatoes and keep 2 cups of liquid aside.
Place the tomatoes back in the pot and add the green peppers, sweet red peppers, onions, celery, garlic, chili, tomato paste, white vinegar, sugar, salt, hot pepper sauce and the 2 cups of reserved tomato cooking liquid.
Bring pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently for 1 hour.
Using a ladle, portion the hot mixture into canning jars, leaving ½-inch space from the top, removing any air bubbles. Remove excess from the rims and seal tightly.
Place cans in the water bath until completely covered and bring to a boil. Complete the simmering process for 20 minutes.
Remove from water and cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
Simply the best.
