I made two batches. First time I followed the recipe (seeded all but two jalepenos), although I did use garden tomatoes, so I added two small cans of chopped tomatoes to make up for the water weight of my garden toms. It turned out great (mild to medium) my 2 and 9 yr. old loved it. The second batch I made more to my husbands liking (although he enjoyed the milder version too), I didn't measure the jalepenos, I just used the rest from the garden, guessing about 1 1/2 lbs., although I seeded all of them. I replaced the lemon juice with lime juice (you can't taste the difference) and added minced jarred garlic in addition to the powder (about 2 tsp. jarred garlic.) I again added about 2 lbs. of chopped canned toms to make up for using the juicier garden toms. All other ingredients remained the same. This second batch was on the hot side. My 2 and 9 yr. will still eat it, but very sparingly (and with a glass of milk!) My husband loves it! Keep in mind, when using juicer garden tomatoes it WILL need to boil longer to remove some of the extra liquid. A food processor makes very quick (and tearless) work of chopping the onions and peppers. I did can both batches I made, although I don't think it will last long. Definately keeping this salsa recipe for next years tomato harvest! Much better than the first recipe I used two years ago!
