I just canned this and taste tested it with a couple tortilla chips and it tastes just like the Tostitos chunky salsa to me! (I also added lime juice instead of the lemon juice) I did use the full vinegar so all is good. It’s so delicious, my husband is going to be so happy to have salsa for quite a while. Thanks a bunch for the recipe, I’ll be saving this for next tomato season too.

My husband and I just made your salsa! First time canners over here. I am now wondering, is the weight of the tomatoes before coring them and peeling skins (if we try that next time) or after? Don’t want to mess with the ratio. Thank you!

I’m curious as to what kind of onion you use? Thank you for the video, very helpful

How long is shelf life? Your salsa looks amazing 👏

I just hot water bath my salsa for 15 minutes and they come out fine.That from my mothers canning book which says 10 minutes at sea level and add one minute per 1000 feet in elevation. I’m around 5000 feet hence the 15 minutes!

Do you split the 1 1/4 cup between vinegar and lemon juice? I plan on using 20lbs of tomatoes so 1.25 cup vinegar and 1.25 cup lemon juice?

Can the lemon juice be replaced with lime juice?

You said “you can alter, the taste, but DO NOT MESS WITH THE MATERS AND VINEGAR ratio”.. but then you added tomato paste…. Im confused now.

Is that an aluminum pot??? Whoopsie. Lids will sterilize during water bath. No need to pre-heat since they changed the gum ingredients in 1970.
