green bell peppers (about 3)

jalapenos (about 3)

cilantro

salt (I use kosher or sea salt)

apple cider vinegar

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.
