This was my project this afternoon - first time I've ever canned anything after wanting to do it for years. After visiting the garden this morning, I had a roasting pan full of tomatoes, plus what I had from about 3 days ago. Using my tomatoes and peppers from the garden, this is an 8 pint batch of salsa. It turned out pretty spicy, definitely hotter than I intended. This batch is going to be called "Hit & Run" Salsa .... hits you with the heat right off the bat, but the heat doesn't linger around and make you miserable. All 8 pints sealed .... that little "pop" is one satisfying sound! Now comes the hard part - cleaning up the kitchen.
