Donna S, Thank you so very much. As you know I will check it out within a week. I have plenty of greenies around these days. I think I am going to put it into Half pints. That's a good size for us.
Jewell - It is yummy. I baked salmon last night with this salsa spread over it. The only problem I had was I didn't cook enough. Barb - Once you open a jar it won't last long.
I have to adjust my water bath time to 20 minutes as I am at 1001 feet above sea level.(Should have put my kitchen on the lower side of the house and I would have been ok.) Hope everyone realizes they must consider that when canning. Always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to preserving foods. Very cute.
Donna S green salsa Donna S, Is this how yours looked? I did it exactly as you did. My red stuff has more liquid in it. Maybe I didn't cook them long enough. What do you think? I just had to make it today. I couldn't wait till next week. I haven't tasted it yet. I forgot to before I canned it. I, of course, got 8 pints.
