Instructions

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil.
Mark a shallow X on the bottom of each tomato.
Blanch tomatoes in boiling water about 1 minute until skins loosen.
Remove tomatoes from water and set aside to cool.
Peel off the skin; it will come off easily.
Remove seeds and cut tomatoes into cubes.
Set aside.
In a large saucepan, sauté onion for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add peppers and jalapeño and fry for 3 to 4 more minutes.
Add garlic and fry 2 to 3 minutes.
Add reserved tomatoes, lemon juice, vinegar, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Let simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.
Add cilantro.
Pour salsa into sterilized Mason jars, filling them 1 cm (1/2 inch) from the top.
Seal and sterilize.
Sterilize jars by immersing in boiling water for about 5 minutes.
The lids must be new to ensure a proper seal.
Soak lids in hot water before using.
Fill jars, leaving a headspace of about 1 cm (½ in.).
Place lids and screw bands on jars but do not over-tighten.
Immerse jars in boiling water and boil for at least 15 minutes.
Remove jars from water and let rest for 24 hours.
The lids will be depressed and make a sudden popping noise when the seal is tight.
The jars can be stored for one year in a dark, dry, cool place.
