This is a really great recipe. I've only made salsa a couple of times, and this one will be my go-to recipe from here on out. Just sweet enough, just tangy enough, and just spicy enough. My toddlers even enjoy it! What more can you ask for??

This salsa is the best. I cut the batch size down because I only had 9 lbs of tomatoes. The only changes I made were adding little more cilantro and leaving out the tomato paste. (I love cilantro and relized to late that I didn't have the tomatoe paste) Otherwise I followed the recipe as stated. According to my husband, "It is the best salsa I have never had." That is good enough for me. I will be making a whole batch to can this weekend. Thanks

I was really looking forward to making this recipe, but I must say we didn't really enjoy it. Tasted like jarred salsa mixed with brown sugar. Hard to describe the taste.. just different. It was okay on/in things, but not by itself. It was very time consuming, not worth all of the work.

This was very very good. I did add juice from half a lemon, which made it a little better. I would have used lime, but I can't get that where I live. Thanks for this recipe!

Sooo tasty! It seemed really spicy when I tasted it during cooking, but after canning, it's extremely mild. I gave the veggies a quick whirl in the food processor, and it ended up with the taste and texture of the salsa/hot sauce served at Taco Time (a chain in western Washington). The salsa seems to be universally loved by kids.

First time making salsa and I LOVED this recipe! For me it was very time consuming but well worth the work. The only changes that I had, I felt that I didn't have enough bell pepper so I added in some hot banana peppers. This is one of those foods that you can't stop eating once you start! I will make this again.

I loved this combination of ingredients. The Cilantro is the key ingredient to making this fresh and authentic tasting Salsa. I prefer a less spicy Salsa and this is perfect! I changed the technique a bit. After I skinned my tomatoes I run through a blender to make the consistency of crushed tomatoes. I then followed the rest as directed. Now I have the perfect taste and consistency. I half the recipe and it makes about 10 pints.

Wow, sooo good! I used mostly Romas fresh from the garden. Only 1 head of garlic, 2 bunches cilantro, about 10 huge jalapenos, half w/ seeds, 3 T salt, which was plenty, no sugar and added juice of 2 limes. Everything else is right on and the texture is perfect and it's pretty spicy the way I love it. Oh, and I did chop everything but 3/4 of the tomatoes in the food processor. Perfect!! My new favorite.

I halved this recipe and still got 15 jars of salsa. It is a great and simple recipe, albeit time consuming to peel, core and chop all those tomatoes, let alone the onion and pepppers! I made this recipe exactly as written and will make it again this way in future, but may add more chili, as per the author's suggestion as I was worried about ending up with a too hot salsa. We have already made great salsa eggs for breakfast with this and served with sour cream and tortilla chips to our friends.

Great recipe. I chopped all the tomatoes let them sit for an hour drained the juice off. Added the paste after it simmered for a while. stuck to the recipe after that, husband said he could see himself using it taste like Pase his fav brand.
