Many years ago, a lady from my church showed me how to use my pressure canner. She also shared her wonderful recipe for fresh, garden salsa.  This recipe you do not need to cook prior to canning it.  Other than being labor intensive with all the chopping of the vegetables, this is a very easy recipe.

You can use whatever tomatoes you have on hand. However, Roma tomatoes tend to lead to a thicker salsa.  You also can use fewer Jalapeno peppers if you don’t want a hot salsa.  Every pepper tends to be different so you need to taste this salsa before you can it.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.  I have been making this for many, many years and love the recipe.
