Here's my salsa pics. The salsa is a medium heat one. I ended up with 12 - 500 ml jars.
A few asked what a hamper of tomatoes was. Here's the pic. I'll process 8 - 10 of these this fall. This is hamper number 6 to be processed today. Hamper 5 was processed into the first batch of salsa. The tomatoes are dirtier because we've had rain. http://tinypic.com/dzxcnl.jpg
The workhorses - lg stock pot, pressure canner, stove. The pressure canner doubles as bwb when I leave the seal off. The lid to the pressure canner isn't shown but is used for both pressure canning and bwb canning. http://tinypic.com/dzxdhh.jpg
Salsa ready to be put into jars. I used hot peppers - jalapeno, banana, cherry bombs - and sweet bell peppers from my garden. http://tinypic.com/dzxffn.jpg
Salsa cooling in the jars. This is what it's all about. The next reward is hearing the jars ping as they seal. The final reward is eating yummy salsa throughout the next year 🙂 http://tinypic.com/dzxgdv.jpg

Your canned salsa looks like Trader Joe's $1.99 for a pint, I believe. It is very good - we ate 2 jars in two days with chips. Your pictures are fabulous. Happy Canning, Dee Dee

Very nice. What variety of tomatoes are those? If your tomatoes are too juicy, do you ever add a tiny bit of tomato paste to a batch of salsa to compensate?
I sometimes add an 8 ounce can of tomato to the batch (10 pints or 7 quarts) when I can whole peeled tomatoes to make the juice redder and thicker.

Nope not raining mud but the rain created the mud that gets on the tomatoes. I get the tomatoes from relative who farm so unlike the tomatoes I grow the hampers have mud in them and the tomatoes are pretty dirty if we've had rain.

No this is what I would call a medium heat salsa.

Thanks Dee. We don't have a Trader Joe's here and I've never been to one so have no idea what their salsa tastes like. IME most cooked tomato salsas look the same but the truth is in the flavour. I make a very mild - to me anyway - salsa as well as a medium and then what I would refer to as firey. They basically all *look* the same but the flavour is quite different.

Some of the canned or jarred salsas turn me off just looking at them. Perhaps it's the dark-colored bottle, I don't know, but the tomatoes don't look nice and fresh - sorta brownish; I stay away from them. But your salsa does nice and red and fresh like the jars/bottles I try to choose. Dee Dee

Bob, who hasn't canned anything this year
Thanks! The tomatoes are roma T900's. These are tomatoes that go to Heinz and I get all I want free 🙂 I don't add tomato paste to the salsa but I will say these tomatoes make very nice tomato paste. I did a batch of tomato paste then froze it in muffin tins. I'll do another batch and can because I go through a lot of tomato paste. I don't peel tomatoes for sauce or most juices. I run them through a food mill that really makes my work a lot easier 🙂 I grow tomatoes as well - brandywines, beefsteak, romas, yellow mellows, and tiny tims - . Brandywines and tiny tims are great for salads. Beefsteaks are for sandwiches. Yellow mellows and romas go into sauces and salsas. Tiny tims that manage to get into the basket before hitting my mouth end up being used for salads and snacking.

My salsa always looks this way. It looks a fresh as the day I cooked it. My jars are clear too so there is no changing of colour. I home can everything from soups, stews, meats, beans, fruits, veggies, and sauces mainly to stay away from preservatives and extra sugar or salt. Maybe the brownish ones have preseratives in them?

Or, perhaps they are cooked/pasteurized a little too much. The artist in me says: red and green, in the correct proportions, make BROWN. [red tomatoes and green cilantro/parsley or whatever]. Dee Dee
Here's my salsa pics. The salsa is a medium heat one. I ended up with 12 - 500 ml jars.
