Here is the recipe of my mom's salsa. I have made 6 batches so far and don't have much to show for it. Last year I made around 18 batches and it only lasted through December so I have my work cut out for me. Jaron made me promise that there would be some in the house when he got off his mission in December so there will be some serious hiding going on here. But I will be constantly making the stuff through the middle of September. So wish me luck!!!
