I haven't started canning yet, but I need to. My sister in law does it for me.... I'm starting to feel like a mooch though. I always tell her how delicious her salsa is and she just keeps bringing jars and jars of it over When she cans tomatoes she puts a jalapeno pepper in with them, it makes the best macaroni and tomatoes!
That's so funny. Cuz, for the most part, I can salsa. Maybe 20 jars of salsa, and 12 jars of just tomatoes. I put in jalepenos, banana peppers, onion, cilantro, garlic powder, and a little sugar.
Canning them is not that bad. One canner full takes me about 3 hours(including the cooking time). The hardest part is blanching them (removing the skins), that's the pain in the ass!!! So I just do them on a night I have nothing going on.
