Tomatillo Salsa For Canning Recipes

Steps:

• Sterilize four 8-ounce canning jars and lids (see Disclaimer).
• Preheat the broiler. Put the poblano halves skin-side up on a foil-lined broiler pan with the onion and garlic. Broil until the poblano is charred and the onion and garlic are browned, about 8 minutes. Cool the poblano slightly, then peel.
• Pulse the tomatillos in a food processor in batches until coarsely chopped, then transfer to a bowl. Add the poblano, onion and garlic to the processor and pulse until coarsely chopped (do not overprocess). Transfer to a large, wide saucepan. Add the cumin, lime juice, vinegar, sugar and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the tomatillos and jalapenos to the pan, cover and return to a boil. Cook until heated through, 3 to 4 more minutes.
• Fill the jars with the tomatillo mixture, leaving 3/4 inch headspace, then seal and process. After opening, top the salsa with cilantro, if desired.

Steps:

• I puree tomatillos with the food processor and place it in the stock pot to cook down while I process all other items. I leave a bit of juice from the tomatillos in the food process and puree the onions, peppers and cilantro together, then add to stockpot. Add all other items and cook till desired thickness stirring occasionally.
• Process in water bath canner for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large pot & stir frequently over high heat until mixture boils.
• Reduce heat.
• Simmer 20 minutes.
• Ladle into pint jars.
• Leave 1/2 inch head space.
• Adjust lids, process in a hot water bath for 20 minutes.
• Be sure to wear gloves when chopping peppers as they will burn fingers.
• Also, have good ventilation when cooking--I have found this to be true when cooking ALL salsa.
• I use a food processor for chopping.
• If you want it hotter use more jalapeños & you can use more or less cumin, as cumin makes it hot, BUT gives a good flavor.
