I'm a hard one to please when it comes to salsa. I want to have that spicy kick, a great tomato taste, and chucks of my favorite vegetables. This one has it all. For added flair, include 1 cup of cooked black beans or tender-crisp corn.
16 tomatoes -- 10 red and 6 green
2 green chiles
2 red chiles
2 hot peppers
2 green peppers
4 onions
1 cup vinegar
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 tablespoon mustard seeds
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons parsley
1/2 teaspoon cilantro
Chop and combine all ingredients. Cook 1 1/2 hours on stove. Let cool. Add 2 small cans tomato paste. Cook in a hot water bath for 20 minutes.
