Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
24 c tomatoes -- peel, core, chop
2 c white vinegar -- 5%
2 c jalapeno chiles -- chop with seeds
2 c sweet peppers -- diced, *
2 c sweet onions -- diced, *
2 small cans tomato sauce
3 cloves garlic -- minced
1 tbsp pickling salt -- do not use table
bunch cilantro -- chopp

Red peppers make a prettier sauce, but green is ok. I like the flavor of
the red ones. Get sweet onions like Vidalia or Texas 1020 if you can.

Cook tomatoes and vinegarfor an hour in a large[!] pot. Add remaining
ingredients except cilantro and cook another a to 2 hours 'til a consistency
you like. Add cilantro. Put in hot pint jars and process in water bath 15
minutes.

Makes about 10 pints
