Heat salsa to boiling and kill the heat
 
In clean sanitized jars fill some heat of your choice....
mine: first three have one fresh yellow moruga each, then 1 dried red bhut, and 1 dried brown bhut.

I'm bumping this because the base recipe really is fantastic.  The ratios of tomatoes/onion/peppers is perfect and it's become my go to recipe.  Family always ask me to bring it to our summer gatherings (and follow the request with a plea to keep the heat level down lol) and I usually make 2-3 batches for myself through the summer and freeze to enjoy throughout the year.   :)
Thanks Dru, glad to hear that your enjoying it. This has been our go to recipe for quite some time. Its a good base recipe that has so many different posiblities. Getting the heat level just right can be a bit of a challenge tho, specially when dealling with the supers. The ones with dried chilis came out pretty good but the ones with fresh morugas brought the pain. In hindsight I think a sliver or two in each jar would have been about right heat level.
 
Cheers!
 
I'm glad this got bumped. I had seen the post a while back, been wanting to try it. I love the idea of being able to make different versions by adding stuff (or not) to the jars. I got a hwb setup recently too. Think I'll make a trip to the farmers market soon...
 
You know it, this guys way a great plan, and sure to please everyone though it was a hard day when I did this recipe the possibilities are endless when you look at salsa recipes as each jar can be a different flavor. Thanks Beerbreath81
 
Hey FG the corn and beans are on Beerbreath8's recipe, backup to page one of this thread. I would just follow ball canning rules on the bath if there are no pressure canner requirements, my can baths are usually 10 to 15 minutes
 
When I use this recipe I liked it for every jar had beans and corn butt different peppers diced in the jar or jars I thought he had all the pictures needed it was awesome and you know, follow along with the pictures I guess I just assumed the pictures had the beans and corn in it well when he says all in the bath it's all in there no bath just enjoy soon all i would do or store in the fridgeadair

Couple questions:
Did you use beans in your recipe?  I wasn't sure if I saw them in the photos
How long did you do your water bath?
For the recipe I did here I did not use beans but have in the past with good results, just an optional ingrediant based on whether you like beans in your salsa or not. If using, just make sure to rinse your beans. The time I water bath is generally 10-12 miniutes. I place the jars in the pot, fill with water and once water starts boiling I start the clock.

How many quarts does this make? I've got 10 lids and want to make sure that's enough. I bought all supplies today
 
Make the batch as written and can the ten pints you have lids for bud.  The rest can be easily frozen/eaten within a week or so.  :)
 
Looks great FGPG! I'm making more of this today.   :)
 
Here we go!
