9 quarts of pinto beans

made 8 jars (jelly) of strawberry margarita jam...just waiting to see if it sets up...

yesterday I dehydrated onions. Today is zucchini, squash,and shredded potatoes.

well I have my canner and have used it once...

To be honest I was scared to death and ended up turning off the stove and haven't used it since..

I won't give up I'll try again....soon

My husband just ordered me a Mirro 22 quart canner Brand new

for $59.??. He got free shipping and a $10.00 coupon off an E-bay purchase.

Now I have to be patient ...and wait till it arrives...I'm excited...

thanks

so don't can it or add more vinegar?

I found the same recipe "Annies Salsa" on recipezaar under the title wonderful salsa

8 cups tomatoes, peeled, chopped and drained

2 1/2 cups onions, chopped

1 1/2 cups green peppers

1 cup jalapeno peppers, chopped

6 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons cumin

2 teaspoons pepper

1/8 cup canning salt

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup vinegar

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste

as you can see the only difference is the amount of vinegar and the cilantro

The recipe calls for mixing everything together and cooking it for 10 minutes, put into hot steril jars, seal and waterbath for 10 minutes.

I'm new here..

I have been making this recipe for over a year now,

I also change this recipe up

no sugar

less vinegar

alittle more cilantro

I use roma tomatoes around 10 to 12

4 to 5 good size zuchinnis

everyone that has tried it LOVEs it..I have even sold a few jars here and there.
