-------------------------------
Here's the basic recipe:

20-25 roma tomatoes (skinned and chopped)
3-4 large Spanish onions (chopped)
3-4 large green peppers (chopped)
2 poblano peppers (chopped)
3 jalapeno peppers (chopped)
4-5 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
2-3 tablespoons fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
1 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons salt (optional)

Combine all ingredients in large pot. Heat to boiling, then reduce to simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Sterilize jars and lids. Fill jars with salsa, de-bubble, and wipe jar rims. Put lids and rings on jar, an place into hot water bath canner. Fill canner with enough water to cover the jars completely. Heat water to boiling. At this point, process for 20 minutes (quarts) or 15 minutes (pints). After processing, remove jars from canner and place on counter. Leave undisturbed for a day. Refrigerate jars after opening.

Makes about 6 quarts.

*Disclaimer: While canning salsa in quart jars is common and done safely and successfully by many people, there is no "official" recommendation for canning salsa in quarts. Due to its density and the ratio of low-acid ingredients (onion, peppers), the only "official" recommendation for canning salsa is in pint jars or smaller. As with all home canning, do so at your own risk, and inspect everything before eating.
