Bob's Salsa

Recipe Courtesy Bob Kelley, Photo Courtesy Google.com
This is a base recipe to add to. If you like it spicy, add some peppers. If you want more tomatoes, add more. You get the point.

INGREDIENTS:
20-ish tomatoes
5 onions (I like red)
7 jalapenos/other hot pepper (optional, of course)
5 carrots (the better to see you with)
2 stalks celery
1/4 cup salt
1/8 cup sugar (neither Bob nor I use that)
3 cloves garlic (I used about 6)

DIRECTIONS:
A few options here:
1) Bosch it
2) Cuisinart it
3) Chop it (if you don't have the previously mentioned awesome kitchens appliances).
Size does matter. The smaller the better.

Simmer it all for 20 minutes. Pack into hot, sterilized jars.

If you have a pressure canner, process for 15 minutes. If you don't, water bath it for 25 minutes. If you aren't going to can it, refrigerate it and eat it within 2-3 weeks.
