Canning Tomatoes

Ok so first of all, I'm still working on my declutter list. The list has been pushed to side a bit because we have been harvesting and canning tomatoes. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed with everything and just take it one item at a time. My biggest problem to the decluttering is time. I have been super busy with sports and canning and work. However, it is my goal and I will keep working towards it.

Now canning! Today we bottled 9 pints of salsa and 88 pints of rotel. I have poured over several recipes and ended up making up my own recipe. So for the rotel here it is: about 25 cups of peeled and chopped tomatoes, 3 medium sized onions, 1 1/4 cups of white distilled vinegar, 1 cup of skinned and purred green peppers and Anaheim peppers, 4 jalapenos, 2 mini super hot peppers and finally about 3 tablespoons of salt. Give it a good stir and taste to check flavoring. Feel free to adjust the amount of peppers to your preference in heat. We were aiming for spicy today. Lastly, we processed the jars for 45 minutes in a hot water bath. Whalla! Rotel to enjoy all winter long.
