Wonderful Salsa

This is the best salsa recipe I've found so far and I've tried about a dozen. I got it from one of the local hospital cookbooks that are sold in my area. I changed it a bit and have been canning it for years.

Ingredients:

• 8 cups tomatoes, peeled, chopped and drained
• 2 1/2 cups onions, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups green peppers
• 1 cup jalapeno pepper, chopped
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 2 teaspoons pepper
• 1/8 cup canning salt
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup vinegar
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste

Directions:

1. Mix all together and bring to a slow boil for 10 minute.
2. Seal in jars and cook in hot water bath for 10 minute.
3. This is a medium salsa. This is also a chunky salsa so if you want a smoother salsa cut your veggies into smaller pieces.
4. Yields 3-6 quarts or pints.
