Green tomato salsa canned
We go through quite a few jars of salsa. Our favorite salsa recipe in here. However, I decided to try out a new recipe this year with our abundance of green tomatoes.
10 gallons of green tomatoes chopped (I used the food processor and left the skins on.)
15 pounds of onions chopped finely
1 pound of jalapeno peppers finely chopped (I made this batch relatively mild, since not all of my kids like heat. If you like more heat, you might want to add more peppers.)
50 bell peppers (I just used what we had from our garden.)
5 cups lime juice
5 cups apple cider vinegar
10 T cumin
cilantro to taste (I love cilantro, so I added a LOT.)
20 cloves of garlic minced
Combine all ingredients and simmer for 1 hour. Process quarts for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath.

I use this recipe for pickling spice mixture that I use in relishes and some pickle recipes. I just use this rather than buying pickling spices in the store. These are all spices that I buy in bulk, so they are cheaper to just make. If I don’t need the whole recipe at one time, I don’t mix in the ginger, and just add that when I am ready to use the mixture.
I add these to my mortar and pestal and crush them slightly.
1/2 cinnamon stick crushed
2 T. corriander seeds
2 T. fennel seeds
4 bay leaves crushed
2 t. black peppercorns
1 T. mustard seeds
1 thumb ginger finely chopped
