Homemade Salsa

I'm terrible at updating this lately, so I apologize if I have any followers (which is debatable haha). BUT...simply because this salsa was awesome, I must document the "recipe" if you can call it that :)

7lbs tomatoes, diced (larger if you like chunky salsa)
2 large white onions, diced
3/4 of a bunch of cilantro
half a large jar of sliced banana peppers
1 jalapeno, diced
1/2 C vinegar
1/3 C sugar
1 medium green pepper, diced
3 large cobs of sweet corn - slice all the corn off
2 cans black beans
3-4 Tbsp pickling salt

Throw all this stuff in a stockpot and cook it for something like 15-20 minutes until it's bubbly and yummy.

It'll look something like this:

With all the cilantro and peppers, it has a bit of a kick, but nothing too scary, and certainly nothing to burn your mouth. So if you like that kind of salsa, throw in more peppers and brace yourselves!

If you like your salsa really smooth without chunks, throw it in a food processor and blend it up to desired consistency. If you like it chunky (like I do), leave it as is.

I did go ahead and can it, so there's that whole process too (which really isn't that difficult - you throw it in ball jars, put some lids on top and throw it in a water bath for 10-15 minutes, then let it sit until the lids pop. But if you do a smaller batch of the salsa, you can just eat it right up as is if you want. I added a ton of veggies and such because, well, I like it when chips and salsa seem healthier and have lots of veggies. You can add as many or as little of these, though.

ENJOY!
