This is a wonderful but spicy salsa recipe, that is a hit every time I make it. The flavors are just so perfect together that my family and friends love them! Plus, it also saves me a fortune, instead of buying expensive Christmas gifts, I give them these oh-so-good salsa instead! And hey, no complaints.

Let’s make an easy spicy salsa

I can up dozens of pints of this during the summer when my garden is bursting with tomatoes and peppers. Then I keep many of the jars until Christmas and pop them into a basket with a bag of gourmet corn chips as a gift, and it is always well received!

A quick tip: Follow the water bath canning methods, in the previous article Canning 101.
