How to make homemade salsa

Disclaimer:  I made the video that goes with this a few years ago, but nothing has changed I still do it the same way.

So her we go this is going to be one of the most simple things you can make.

Ingredients:

Tomatoes I am not sure how many but I say about 5 to 10 pounds will make 5 pints.
Ms. Wages salsa packet (click to go to page to buy it)
1/2 C Vinegar
Hot peppers optional

Directions:
Wash you tomatoes and cut off the tops.  I also cut out any bad places that I see and put the good parts in a large pan.  After they are all cut up then you place them on the stove on high heat to boil down.  The tomatoes will produce juice just stir often to keep them from burning.  I usually boil them for about 10 min.  but I like runny salsa if you like a thicker one just do not boil them as long.  Once they are boiled then you need to measure them out to 5 pints.  Then place them in a food processor or some other for of chopper. (A blender will even work for this work with what you have.)  Chop them for a few seconds then place them back in the large pan and add in the Vinegar and peppers if using peppers.  I usually use one or two but I like mine kinda mild. Brin to a boil then turn back on to a simmer and cook for 10 min.  While this is cooking I like to wash my pint jars and put them in the oven on low to heat up we will not be putting them in a pressure caner so they need to warm up or you can put them in a warm bath.  After they have finished cooking pour them off into the jars and let them seal.  Most of the time I do not put them in hot water to boil because the jars are hot but that is up to you.  If you prefer not to can them you can let this cool and place in bags and freeze it as well.  See I told you supper easy.
