How many of you make and can your own Salsa? I do this one every year. Mmmmmm.
Ingredients Needed For Ron's Slow Heat Salsa:
. 20lbs of tomatoes (wash, blanched, core and chopped)
. 7 cups of onions (Texas or Walla Walla sweets)
. 5 large cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
. 2 bunch's of fresh chopped cilantro (3 or 4 cups)

. 1 cup of Habaneros (8 or 10 peppers)
. 2 cups of lemon juice
. 3 tablespoons of salt
. 1 tablespoon of black pepper
. 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper
Directions For Making Ron's Slow Heat Salsa:
Blanch tomatoes for 1 1/2 minutes, put into cold water to remove skins. Core and chop tomatoes, put into a 16/18 quart pot (stainles Steel works best). When you have about half of the tomatoes in the pot, add balance of ingredients, then add remaining tomatoes. Bring to a boil and boil for about TEN minutes, with lid off, reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for about Two hours, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
NOTE: DO NOT LET BURN.
Stir and stir, This is a labor of LOVE. Have a six pack of Moose Drool Ale, you should be ready to can when finished with three beers. This makes approximately nine quarts.
NOTE: This salsa appeals to adults NOT CHILDREN!
Remember to wear rubber gloves when preparing Habaneros,Jalapenos and Anaheim peppers and chilis.
