You should always use a USDA tested and approved recipe which will include the correct headspace, jar size and processing time.

I have 7lbs of tomatoes that need to be used this week, so I'm going to try this tomorrow night. Do you remove the seeds from the tomatoes? Does it matter whether they're there or not? I've never made salsa before at all, but I'm sure I can do better than the store-bought stuff! Thanks! This looks great!

I try to make a batch every summer when tomatoes are plentiful and it lasts us all year. Hope you enjoy it! This is a really nice, all-purpose mild salsa that is easy to make and can.

I want salsa, on everything. I make it but in 2 jar amounts and never to can. I have been thinking of doing canning and I just got my hands on a Blue Book. Can't wait to begin. I need more jars, and 2 other things that I saw at Ace last week. I am going back this weekend to get them. This looks amazing. I want salsa, on everything.

Your suggestion for adding tomato paste probably does make a richer product, but it alters the pH balance of the recipe making it questionable for home canning. With the additional tomato paste, I'd store it in the refrigerator. Hi Edie – so glad you enjoyed the recipe.

No chopping problems with the Kitchen Aid food processor and a helpful husband. Fabulous Recipe!! I doubled the recipe...my only suggestion is adding a 6 oz. tin of tomato paste at the end of the cooking time to the salsa. This made the finished product thick & rich, like store bought. I made homemade foccacia bread and we couldn't wait for the salsa to cool down to sample it....we devoured this wonderful full flavoured salsa with the bread. YUM! Thanks Lana, Edie I just made this recipe!
