Canned Salsa -Batch 2

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.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Yields: 5-10 jars

Ingredients
