Karin Warren says
Can this salsa be put in a water bath and canned for later use? Or does something else need to be added to the recipe if you are going to can it for storage?
Catherine says
Karin: Canning salsa is a little more complicated than canning plain tomatoes. Adding onion, garlic, and peppers decreases the acid level, and makes it unsafe for canning in a boiling water bath. You will need to can it in a pressure canner. Refer to Ball Blue Book, or the website for USDA Home Canning Methods. Since this recipe makes a small amount , using commercially canned tomatoes and other pantry items, it is easy to make a batch when you want it, so canning for long-term storage is not necessary.
