Hot Hot Hot!

Yesterday I tried a new project.  Every year we have way more veggies than we know what to do with.  We rarely eat a red tomato, we mostly fry them green.  So I decided that I was going to try canning.  I got my jars, found some recipes and that was it.  Yesterday I finally broke down and tried some salsa.  10 cups of chopped tomatoes, 5 cups of seeded and chopped bell pepper, 5 cups chopped onion, 2 1/2 cups seeded and chopped jalapenos, some cilantro, minced garlic, salt, vinegar and some tomato paste later, I have 11 jars of salsa.  I hope I don't have to cut up any more veggies any time soon.

Salsa simmering in the pot to reach the desired consistency.

The first four jars that came out.
