• 3. Ladle salsa into pint or quart jars then process in a water bath for 45 minutes. Serve with Tortilla chips or white corn Scoops.
• 4. NOTE: I'm not a fan of cilantro so I use parsley instead. This year I added about 1 tablespoon of dried cilantro and I can taste it in the huge batch this makes. For my taste this is good, I wouldn't put more. If you like cilantro then use it! You can also put 1/2 parsley and 1/2 cilantro, so make it according to your taste.
