I got this salsa recipe from my sister, and my children and I have been making batches of it ever since. We pair pint jars with packages of tortilla chips for zesty Christmas gifts. When the kids give this present to their teachers, they can truly say they helped make it.
Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

I have made this recipe for a couple of years now. This year I'm giving over 7 cases of thistasteful, most requested recipe for Christmas gifts along with the tortilla chips. I do however modify the recipe to suit our taste. I omit the celery ribs and add 2 or 3 ears of fresh corn cut off the cobb. Not only does it make the salsa pretty, but extremely tasty! And since we raise and sell over 30 acres of sweet corn and other garden fresh farm grown produce at several farmers markets, I use what I grow! You will not be disappointed in this recipe! So fill up your shelves....winter is coming!

This salsa was great, but it needed cumin, which I added once I tasted it and it went from a 4-star to a 5-star recipe!

I found this recipe and made a batch. my family loved it. I ended up making 90 pint jars. We are going through it so fast, I hope we have enough. It is best made with Vidilla Onions. This recipe is awesome!!!!

This is a great recipe! It's easy and even my kids think it has enough heat. I used hotter peppers than the jalapenos. I will make this often. Thanks!

try a habanero pepper, that'll do it.

Try some chopped onions and a dash of hot sauce and some garlic chopped fine-you want heat, oh baby is that heat! It'll keep you warm all winter!

This is a geat recipe. I cut it in half and added some cummin (1 tsp) and about a cup of cilantro. The flavor is great but needs more kick. Maybe best not to seed one or two Jalapenos if you want to kick it up notch. I used 4 seeded peppers nd still no heat.Ben Griffith
