Canning salsa is a great way to preserve tomatoes. This is a Mexican-style chunky salsa recipe for canning in a boiling water canner, that can be made mild or hot. Feel free to double the recipe when you have an abundance of tomatoes.

Best Salsa Recipe for Canning

diced, cored peeled tomatoes (about 11 medium)

green bell peppers (about 3)

jalapenos (about 3)

cilantro

salt (I use kosher or sea salt)

apple cider vinegar

hot pepper sauce (optional

Prepare the water bath canner, jars, and lids and keep them warm. I run mine through a hot dishwasher rinse as I prepare the salsa. As this is a high-acid recipe that is processed in a water canner, the jars don't need to be completely sterilized as they would with a low acid recipe. The heat from the water canner will destroy any bacteria.

Stir together the diced tomatoes, peppers, onions, jalapenos,...

Set over high heat and stir until the tomatoes begin to release some juices and the salsa comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Taste the salsa and add hot sauce if you'd like to add more heat.

Remove the lid and let the jars rest in the hot water for 5 minutes to allow the pressure to stabilize. Carefully remove the jars and let rest, undisturbed, for 24 hours at room temperature.

Ensure all jars have a vacuum seal by removing the rings and pressing down on the lids. They should be concave and not move at all. If the center of a lid bounces back there is not a vacuum seal and the jar of salsa will need to be refrigerated immediately.

The Best Salsa Recipe for Canning

A flavorful, bold, earthy salsa of roasted tomatillos, Hatch green chile, onion, and a full bulb of garlic brightened with fresh cilantro!

Hatch Green Chile Salsa Verde Recipe

tomatillos (about a pound)

Hatch green chile ((see notes))

onion (quartered)

garlic (halved horizontally (see photo in post))

olive oil (to drizzle)

cilantro/coriander (cut at the base of the leaves)

sea salt and ground pepper

preheat oven

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. I cook on "convection roast," and my oven makes the adjustment to 400 degrees.

prep tomatillos

Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse. They will be sticky, but it disappears in the roasting process. Place them on a baking sheet.

prep vegetables

Add the quartered onion, garlic halves, and green chile if it needs to be roasted.

drizzle

Drizzle with olive oil, and place in hot oven.

roast

Roast 20-30 minutes until well caramelized and some charring is present.

cool

prep

Once cool, pop garlic out of its skin, remove blackened skins, seeds, and stems from chile if necessary, add the roasted vegetables and cilantro to the bowl of your food processor.

Note: I add chopped chile after pulsing the other vegetables and cilantro. Feel free to add them in at the same time.

pulse

Pulse until desired consistency, adding liquid as needed.

season

We live in Oregon but my husband is from New Mexico and every August the local grocery stores here get shipments of hatch green chile. We roast them on our gas stove and I try to make everything I can think of while we have the chance. This recipes was great, delicious and so easy to make. I did add a little fresh pressed garlic as well to bump up the garlic vibe. Next time I will use a food processor as I defaulted to my blender and it probably over processed it a bit. It made an amazing puree that we can drizzle over everything, and it's still delicious with chips. Thank you for sharing!

Made this for the boys and it was inhaled with a bowl of tortilla chips in a nanosecond. Recipe is a keeper!

Just finished making a large double batch to share at a mountain get together with friends tomorrow (and so we can freeze some for use later 😋). Our nearby Sprouts had Hatch chilies for a short time and I jumped at the chance. 
Really a wonderful salsa, quite straight forward to prepare and will absolutely give credit where credit is due ... thank you very much!
