10 cups chopped tomatoes (10 large or 20 medium tomatoes)
5 cups chopped seeded bell peppers
5 cups chopped onions
2-1/2 cups chopped seeded chili peppers
1-1/4 cups cider vinegar
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 Tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
2 Tablespoons salt
1 Teaspoon pepper Hot Sauce
** Makes 6 pint or 12 half pint jars
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. After everything comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until the salsa thickens to a texture you could dip with a chip — usually 10 to 15 minutes depending on how wet your tomatoes are. Let cool and serve immediately or can for later use!
