condiment First time Salsa

Had a few extra tomatoes so I decided to make some salsa, first time too. Here's the list of ingredients. They were coarsely chopped and ran through the food processor until the chunks were small. I like a bit of texture to my salsa.

5 medium tomatoes, skinned and seeded
5 Roma tomatoes, skinned and seeded
1/2 green pepper, seeded
1/2 yellow pepper, seeded
2 bhut jolokia peppers
2 Red Savina habaneros
4 red habaneros
8 Hot Paper Lantern peppers
Hot peppers had the stem removed only, seeds and membranes were kept.
1 lg sweet vidalia onion
5-10 green onions, suit your own taste
6-10 cloves of garlic, suit your own taste
small handful of fresh cilantro,
1/4c red win vinegar
2 tbsp good virgin olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice

Once everything is chopped up run it through a food processor until it's the consistency you want. I then put it on the stove and let it simmer for a couple of hours to blend the ingredients. Enjoy!
 
Some questions and some comments.
Q1. How do you seed tomatoes? I smoked a bunch of tomatoes, garlic, onion, 1 hab and 6 serranos that all went into a salsa--my only attempt. It was pretty good, only made a couple of cups, and was nearly hot enough. But trying to separate the seeds from the 'maters was a mess!
C1. 2 bhut jolokia peppers

4 red habaneros

uhhh..how many layers of wallpaper are you removing?
If you fart, is it kinda like Firestarter?
What kind of bowl keeps it without melting?
What I'm saying is THAT SOUNDS HOT!!
I'm guessing that'd be X hot with 55 tomatoes, nevermind 10.
C2 to Steve973==Howard County, huh? I grew up in White Oak/Silver Spring! Mom lives out in Calverton now. GO SKINS!

OK, enough from me. I've gotta try a recipe for BBQ sauce without ketchup now.
