Ingredients

  • 20 red medium tomatoes (7 pounds)

  • 10 fresh Anaheim chile peppers or poblano chile peppers, seeded and chopped (about 3 cups)

  • 3 fresh jalapeno peppers or serrano chile peppers, seeded and chopped (about 1/3 cup)

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ cup vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Peel, seed, and coarsely chop tomatoes (you should have about 14 cups). Place tomatoes in a large colander; let drain 30 minutes. Place tomatoes in 8-quart Dutch oven. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes or until thickened (consistency of chunky salsa); stir frequently. Stir in Anaheim peppers, jalapeño peppers, onions, cilantro, garlic, vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Return to boiling. Remove from heat. Cover and chill in refrigerator at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.* Makes about 8 cups salsa.

For longer storage:

Spoon cooled salsa into freezer containers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Seal, label, and freeze up to 6 months.
