Mix vinegar with water and bring to a boil. Wash peppers, cutting tops of the stem off. Make a smal slit in the bottom and top of each pepper (to allow air to escape). Pack quart jars with peppers, place 1 - 3 cloves of garlic per jar, 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pickling spice per jar. Ladle vinegar/water over, leaving a 1/4" headspace (allow time for air to escape insides of peppers, add more vinegar/water as required). Fasten caps securely. Process in water bath for 10 minutes.
Passed an enjoyable Sunday afternoon mixing and matching canning recipes to come up with this one. This makes a salsa with medium heat.
Servings: 5 to 6 pints
Ingredients:
8 cups peeled, cored, chopped/blended Roma tomatoes
3/4 cup seeded and chopped fresh jalapeno peppers (use more or less to taste)
2 cups chopped white onions
8 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions:
Core tomatoes. Drop tomatoes in boiling water briefly until skins split or pucker around the cored area. Let cool off till you can handle them. Slip the skins off and set aside 4 or 5 tomatoes. Process the rest in an 8 cup measuring bowl using an immersion blender until mostly uniform consistency. Coarsely chop remainder of tomatoes and combine. Cook in large saucepan till foam rises to top. Scoop off foam and any watery juice laying on the surface.
Add all remaining ingredients. Cook for several hours on low heat. Taste occasionally and add more of any ingredient to your taste.
After preparing canning jars, ladle hot salsa into hot pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Follow standard canning procedures.
Until I can afford the real thing, this Flash koi pond will have to suffice. A bit of tinkering produced the colours, and you can feed the fish with a left-click, as they follow your mouse. Original gadget posted here.
Well my 27th year on this chunk of rock has passed, and to tell you the truth, I don't feel any older than I did in my 26th year. However, Bob and Kristin pointed out this was a special birthday - my 3rd raised to the 3rd power birthday. Uncle Dave and Joseph were nice enough to send along a nice eCard, the punchline of which I include below.
