A delightful homemade salsa recipe with a zesty kick, perfect for any occasion.
Chop the tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers into small, even pieces.
Uniformly chopped vegetables ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Use a garlic press for quicker mincing.
Combine all the ingredients in a large pot.
Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the pot to prevent sticking or burning.
Simmer the salsa for an additional 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary during this step.
Carefully ladle the hot salsa into sterilized canning jars, leaving some headspace.
Wipe the jar rims clean before sealing to ensure a proper seal.
Seal the jars and process them in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
Ensure the jars are fully submerged in the water bath for proper sealing.
Let the jars cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place.
Check the seals after cooling to confirm they are airtight.
