Preparation:
- Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients and equipment. Ensure your jars and lids are sterilized and ready for canning.
-
Chop and Prepare Ingredients:
- Wash and dice the tomatoes, yellow sweet peppers, green sweet peppers, and orange sweet bell pepper. Finely chop the Spanish onions and mince the garlic cloves.
-
Cooking:
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine all the chopped vegetables along with the minced garlic.
- Stir in the lemon juice, cider vinegar, canning salt, sugar, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion powder, and cumin.
- Add the tomato sauce and tomato paste, mixing well to combine all the ingredients.
- Place the pot over medium heat and cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the salsa is heated through and flavors are well combined.
-
Canning:
- While the salsa is cooking, prepare your canning jars by sterilizing them in boiling water.
- Once the salsa is ready, carefully pack it into hot pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, place the lids on top, and screw on the bands until they are fingertip tight.
-
Processing:
- Place the filled jars in a water bath canner, ensuring they are covered with at least 1-2 inches of water.
- Bring the water to a gentle boil and process the jars for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
-
Cooling and Storage:
- After processing, carefully remove the jars from the water bath and place them on a clean towel or rack to cool.
- As the jars cool, you may hear the satisfying “pop” of the lids sealing, indicating a successful canning process.
- Once completely cooled, store the jars in a cool, dark place. Properly canned salsa can be stored for up to a year.
-
Enjoying:
- Serve your colorful Confetti Salsa alongside your favorite dishes, such as tacos, grilled meats, or as a dip with tortilla chips.
