Directions: |
Directions:Combine red, white and yellow onions, tomatoes, banana peppers, green peppers, tomato paste, white vinegar, garlic powder, salt, cayenne pepper, cumin, brown sugar and white sugar in a large pot. Simmer until thick, about 3 hours.
Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the salsa into the hot, sterilized jars filling the jars to within1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles.
Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towl to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
Put the jars into the canning pot when the water starts boiling. Process for 10 to 15 minutes at a large boil.
Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth covered or wood surface, several inches apart until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger ensuring that the seal is tight (the lide does not move up or down at all).
Refrigerate after opening.
