Salsa

This fab recipe from Tom Veitch is a great way to use up those tomatoes & peppers rescued from frost: 
Salsa
8 cups tomatoes, chopped finely
1½ cups onions, coarsely chopped
½ cup green pepper, coarsely chopped
½ cup red pepper, coarsely chopped
6 -7 cloves garlic, finely chopped
¼ cup coriander, finely chopped
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon white (or black) pepper
Combine all the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium once it comes to a boil.
Simmer, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and ladle into hot, sterilized jars. Seal and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes if the salsa is to be stored for a while.
If you do not process the salsa in the boiling water bath it must be eaten within a few days.
This tomato salsa recipe makes 6 - 2 cup jars.
Enjoy all year round. This recipe also makes a great "from the kitchen" gift.
