* 4 stalks celery, chopped
* 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
* 1 tablespoon white sugar
* 2 cloves garlic, minced

DIRECTIONS

1. In a six-quart pot of boiling water, blanch tomatoes, drain and cool under cold water. Peel and coarsely chop. Return chopped tomatoes to pot, bring to boil and reduce heat. Skim juice from top of tomatoes and reserve, if you'd like, for another use. Do not overcook and allow tomatoes to remain chunky.
2. In two quarts of boiling salted water, add chopped bell peppers, celery, jalapenos, garlic, green chilies and cook until all ingredients are tender. Drain and add vegetables to tomatoes.
3. Add salt, oregano, black pepper and cilantro. Simmer gently for 15 minutes.
4. Hot pack the salsa in clean pint jars. Follow manufactures suggestions on preparing the lids and jars for proper sealing.

Answer 7

Chop the following vegetables:

Roma tomatoes (they have the best flavor)
Onions (red are strong, Vidalia are sweet, white are mild)
Jalapeno peppers (if you don't want it hot) OR
Habanero peppers (if you want it hot)

Add fresh cilantro
Salt, to pull the flavors out
Mix it up very well.

Answer 8

Making salsa is a hassle. Go to the store and purchase some PACE salsa. It is very, very good and tastes just like homemade. It comes in different "heats", mild, medium, hot.
