Zesty Salsa for Canning

1 Combine all ingredients except tomato paste in large sauce pot.

2 Simmer until desired thickness.

3 Stir in tomato paste.

4 Ladle hot salsa into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch head-space.

5 Process 15 minutes in a hot water bath.

6 Note: use more hot peppers for a very hot salsa or less for mild.

7 It depends on how hot your peppers are and how hot you like your salsa.

8 I never get close to 2 1/2 cups for our mild salsa.
