Canned Salsa -Batch 2

Ceezie's Note:

I have been making different batches of salsa every year to see if any are better then any others - after all the tests this has been a proven winner year after year. I am not totally positive how many jars this makes as my husband always steals some before I can get it canned.

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

• 1/3 cup lime juice
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 24 ounces tomato sauce
• 6 ounces tomato paste

With an over abundance of summer tomatoes needed to try something with them. I've never canned salsa before but decided to give this a try. The process was simple and all my jars sealed right away. We did save some out to try and the taste was lovely. I'm always a little nervous about canning and this is the first time I've tried anything with tomatoes so will be anxious to see how they do.
