     1 lb White onions; chopped


     6    Cloves garlic; minced*


     2 lb Jalapeno peppers; seeded,


          -chopped**


     5 lb Tomatoes; peeled, chopped***


     2 ts Salt


   3/4 c  Vinegar


   1/3 c  Fresh cilantro leaves; ****






 * I like more garlic in mine so I increase garlic to 10 cloves.


 


 ** For hotter salsa, leave the seeds in. Reminder: when working with


 jalapeno's wear gloves, that is unless your skin is made of asbestos.


 


 *** Quickly immerse the tomatoes in boiling water to ease peeling.


 


 **** Reduce cilantro to 1/4 cup if using dried leaves.


 


 Place the onion, garlic, chilies, tomatoes, salt and vinegar in a large


 pot. Heat to a rolling simmer and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro.


 Pack into clean, hot, pint or half-pint canning jars. Adjust lids and rings


 and seal. Allow 1/2 inch head-space. Process for 15 minutes in a simmering


 hot-water bath. Makes 12 to 16 cups (6-8 pints).
