Garden Salsa

chefschwantz's Note:

I threw this together last minute to enter in the local county fair. And it won 1st place and Champion best in class. You can adjust the peppers to suit your own taste for heat. As published, it is pretty mild. It is a cooked salsa and best if processed and allowed to sit for a few weeks before enjoying.
