• CANNING INSTRUCTIONS:
• I used a Ball Fresh Tech Automatic Canner and it is so worth the splurge if you do a lot of canning.
• If you are using a water bath method in a large pot bring water to a boil, start by sanitize your canning jars by submerging them for about 5 minutes.
• Use your canning tongs to remove the jars. Spoon salsa into canning jars leaving about ½ inch of space at the top. Wipe the rim and place the lids and rings onto the can.
• Using the canning tongs place the jars back into the water bath for about 45 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the jars to cool ensuring a secure seal.
